So, a couple of years ago my wife and I got tired of the mud arena called the 'Driveway'. So we ordered in 27 tons of crushed rock. Using a shovel, rake and wheelbarrow and the help of a good friend from time to time, I managed to move the rock around until I had a relatively nice driveway laid out. Not perfectly flat but not terrible either. And the mud problems were nicely dealt with.
Fast foward to today. With the reconstruction of our house, known as the "Great Foundation Caper", they had pretty much demolished our driveway. Digging it up to bury power and cable lines, combined with massive dumpsters and such had completely removed the crushed rock I had put down. And the contractor never got around to fixing it quite. Winter came too soon, in December(Funny that). So we took him off the project, took the money we had gotten back and we purchased some crushed rock today and rented a skid steer. My god. In the hour I've waited for the next load of sandy soil for the back.. I've gotten the same amount done on my driveway that took me WEEKS to do last time. See!
