Top of the morning kids, another nice weather forecast. Enjoy the day.

 

What product did you use for the repair?

 

Latex-ite Super Patch from Home Depot.

The job itself it a PITA as it has to be compressed to activate it I guess.
So I BEAT-O-SHIT and pound it level with a hammer. Make sure it’s level and cover it with dirt. It is hardening so I guess I’m doing it right.

 

Morning all - last week for me in this particular salt mine...

 

Good grass cut for the first time (mower started always good). driveway groomed. the work week is 1/2 over.
how about your self?

 

Good Morning. had this book someome left on my tool box at work this morning. rrrrhh

 

I like them. I can't even feel them engage.

 

that's why I went with a dirt driveway. the cost was also a big factor.

 

Look inside it probably says stay home

 

Good morning. Another day another nickle

 

Good laugh.. I needed it this morning..

Must be one of those interaction visual books..

 

I would do this every year to avoid a dirt drive.
This was dirt/rock when I moved here.
It sucked..
Spring mud.
Soft, uneven.
I left my mark of rocks in my neighbors yard. Sucked cleaning 3 yards.

Was the first thing I did was asphalt my drive..

 

Good Morning Folks!

 

Yea dirt has it's draw backs. I don't get the mud not even in Mud season. I groom mine to keep it from getting uneaven

 

If I had a country house with a long drive and I had room for equipment I would have a dirt drive.

 

Good morning folks. Got the new windshield yesterday, the truck in for service that's ready to be picked up...when I dropped it off, the service writer asked what it needed and, of course with my helpful and precise desciption ( "the dashboard says it needs serviced"). She went out with her reader and iPad and does a scan right there. I've never seen that done. I thought it was pretty cool. Anyway, oil and filter, engine air filter, cabin filter and 2 fuel filters put it at almost $500. I didn't think that was too bad for a Cummins service.

 

If I can find a good base material to go down and compact first, I like to cap it with asphalt grindings then water and compact that. You end up with (almost) all the advantages of asphalt and an easily repairable ( rake, water, compact) surface. But, it does stick to boot lugs (like rock...because it is) and you can't roll small wheeled items like a creeper over it and it's not smooth enough for water to run across. If your drive is attached to your house I'd lean towards the pavement....have you looked into having it slurry coated after you reseal the cracks?

 

I could use a few loads of stone but not this year, maybe next year. The stone I got last time packed nicely but the price went sky high for it. if you can get it now. the quarry it came from was sold to a large company and they use it.

 

good morning yall went to wallyworld last night to get the oil for the truck today-was gonna make spaghetti last night too-forgot my wallet!
so ill wait till next week to change oil and hit publix today for the spaghetti sauce.
