We tried the blacktop one time Hap, the County has constant upkeep on paved roads in this area and our driveway started breaking up after three years. Finally dug it out and went back to a rock driveway with three feet of shale hauled in as a base. Fortunately our drive is quite short. Mike

Good Morning PSAR!
Chilly this morning, 26 degrees and we're still waiting for parts for the pellet stove. Good thing the furnace works well.
These driveways are a constant upkeep item. We did have the blacktop, asphalt, in place at one time but it just didn't hold. Tried doing as DM said and crushed it up by walking around on it with a tracklayer and spreading it around. Stuff just made hard areas with soft spots between. Dug it all out down a ways and laid in a shale rock base and gravel over the top. Need to add some gravel this spring as soon as the roads are good enough to run a truck over.
The flu bug is sure going around over here. One grandson has been up and down with it for the past week and a half. About half the kids in his school have been missing time.
Did the trap work Rod? Whens the BBQ?
Hope all of you avoid the second round of flu thats hitting most areas.
