  • This is the steepest gravel driveway that I have worked on. Steep doesn’t properly describe it. Check out this repair and lets hope it works…

    Brother, I gotta say, I'm glad I let this one roll through to the end. I was absentmindedly thinking about something else and about to click away when you sat down with the Word and opened it to read, and it pulled me right back in.
    I just recently started a land clearing and excavating company after feeling drawn this particular way (lots of prayer preceeded). I have been watching your videos among others for tips and insights, and then find you pull out the very chapter and verse I finished with during yesterday's morning Bible study. Christ is King.

    Boy that was a steep one. A good coat of C&R, and then some compacted asphalt millings would make a good road. I've had good luck using the millings on steep driveways. You don't spin on it like gravel, it doesn't washboard nearly as bad, and it's less maintenance.
    Nice message brother.

    • @tristardiggin
      @tristardiggin  Год назад

      Right, 48" inches would have gotten them out of the way for sure. We have very little ground freeze here. So, if we are lucky they have been installed 18" in the ground. Sometimes they are less than that depending on the guy who did the line. I have hit plenty of shallow water line repairing driveways, not fun!

      Tim does have video of the mobile home going up the hill. I was going to put it in this video but had trouble downloading it. I will see if he has it on RUclips somewhere.
      Thanks,

    Could you have put pipe in the overflow where they wouldn’t get clogged up?

      Not sure what you mean by overflow.

      @@tristardiggin The ditches you ran off the driveway to stop the water flow from coming down too fast.

      Ok, I see. Pipes could be put in those area's but the cost kind of makes it not worth it. The mouth of the pipe would probably get stopped up pretty quick with sticks and leaves. But good idea though...

    Ha! It’s fairly steep Sam but it doesn’t hold a candle to my driveway!

    That driveway would never work here it needs a series of switchbacks zig zag turns up the side of the hill with wide turns and stopping points like a landing .

    That driveway should be abandoned and do it a different way.

      Definitely a steep driveway but working ok for them the last I talked to them…
