In the USA, in the state of Texas, a local resident built a fence around his site from a sewer pipe, thereby protecting himself from the approaching flood. It was the pipe that became the dam, which stopped the water and did not let it into the house of the prudent owner.
Amazing fence
When Randy Wagner brought to his site 120 meters of plastic pipe used for sewage, worth almost $ 10, 000, his friends and neighbors were very surprised. It seemed ridiculous to people that a neighbor’s decision to spend so much money on such a useless thing.
Wagner tried to explain to others that he was preparing for a flood, the possibility of which was reported by the state government. Due to the impending heavy rains, according to the authorities, an increase in the level of rivers and flooding of residential buildings were expected. He said that, in comparison with the losses from flooding, the cost of pipes seems small. However, most of the neighbors did not believe in the possibility of a flood and even laughed at Randy for his, as they thought, excessive caution.
Wagner found the idea to create a plastic dam on the Internet, preparing to confront the elements. In order to realize his idea, he surrounded his plot with a pipe and filled it with water so that in case of flooding it would not emerge. On the inside of the site, the enthusiast reinforced the structure with sandbags.
