Now that is pretty freakin cool

 

We used it between my driveway and my shed in the backyard and I have some left over so I might as well try it out

 

I need to get some of that. Not for a traction device, but for its intended purpose, a permeable paver. Probably better than getting my driveway expanded with asphalt right now.

 

I have seen that stuff used on this old house for an access to a driveway through grass. Pretty cool stuff! It allows you drive over grass, even when wet, with out leaving ruts.

 

A couple builders in Philly have used this for the backyard. Generally our backyards here are mainly a concrete patio, no grass. The builder uses these instead of concrete and buyers seem to like it.

 

Is there a locally available version Steve?

 

Not sure. I never looked into it and I have since parted ways with the builder. He burnt the bridge with me.

 

He should’ve known better.

Never, ever, ever get on Stevie’s shit list.

 

PSA ^^^

 

@EatSleepTacos

We havnt had any Tony updates in a while!

Where is the pup?

 

He’s doing well! As loving as always and all healed up.

 

I just saw a BADASS 3rd gen. Long travel, blacked out. I got out of my truck and tried to flag him down, but I guess he didn't see me. I can't believe I would say that about a 3rd gen, but holy shit was it nice.

I hope he passes by where I'm parked again.

 

I don't recall but it's cheaper than concrete. I posted a link to their website a few posts back

 

Any professional elechickens in here?

The job I am doing right now has some pretty funny or sad electrical work I have to fix. I'll get a pic tomorrow. Essentially they routed the wires for the lights in the attic on the roof side of the trusses. I am going to redo them to the attic side. Thankfully it is at the very peak so no decking crushes them but a chance for a nail/screw to go through them.

 

Sounds easy. If it's trusses, you should be able to run the wire thru the open part of the truss (I'm assuming it has open parts, most do) and not have to worry about stapling the wire to the underside. Also, it will look cleaner entering whatever lights/junction boxes you plan to use. I wouldn't staple them to the underside (room side) of the truss, because if you ever decide to sheetrock or put up plywood or whatever, you'll have to move them again. And less work without stapling them everywhere.

 

Yeah We are just going to staple. It is a storage room above the garage. @5'6" I am almost to tall to be in there at the peak. I am doing a major addition, roof, and deck. Every thing we take off is incorrectly done stuff like I am spending more time fixing someone's mistakes or shortcuts than I am actually building. I take one step forward then 3 back have to run to the hardware store to get stuff to fix it then fix it. It's just me and the homeowner. Just the 2 of us wrestling 30+' sheets of roofing tin is a fun site.
