Yep, been there with flooded kennel. When pond was put in by the state many yrs ago for flood control, they didn't put a relief opening/spill way in, so during our flood back in February of 2012, water started going around my pond, and between the dam and my house was lower than between the treeline and dam, so I had a 20' wide, 1' deep creek running into my kennels. I pulled my dogs out, put them in the dog trailer and spent 6hrs on the tractor mucking mud on the backside to allow the water to go that away instead of towards my house. Once it dried up enough, I excavated dirt from off the top of the dam, and back filled the low areas near my house, bringing the level up a little over 2', and cutting the back side down another 2'. No I got a relief opening, 7' wide, and 5' deep. Pond won't overflow anymore, but my neighbor started bitching bc he was getting flooded out in the low areas on his fence/tree line (500' away from his house and a grade of about 6' lower than his house) and ask me to backfill my spillway and try and turn the water the other way (defying Gravity and sending the water uphill) so his unused low land didn't get standing water. I ask him how I was to make the water go uphill, and where to turn it out at so it didn't come back down hill towards his place. He could answer that, and didn't understand the laws of gravity evidently

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!
