Finally found someone to come out and solve my driveway issue without wanting some crazy amount of money. Poured a little concrete on the approach, and presto! It was a simple and cheap fix. My car is going to appreciate it! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Awesome! I have a 2" x 12" x 10' that I beveled the edges on that I lay in the deepest part of the dip just before the road and it does the trick, but kind of a PITA to haul that thing out every time.
This may sound like a stupid question, but are you going to have any issues with the town or homeowners association for making the change? I wanted to do this to a drive where I used to live, but the town told me that the only way they would allow curbing modifications was if they conformed to their specifications, or I could prove the need through disability. (Lady down the street had hers done due to a handicapped van with very low clearance) So I was out of luck. Worst case scenario, you can always fall back on the "easier to ask forgiveness than permission" caveat... looks good.
Nice if you can get away with it. I tried it at my old house and the issue was i was changing the flow of rain/snow drainage. I offered to put a small pipe in to keep the water flowing but it was still rejected. So.....when i moved, i actually measured the curb height and made sure i could clear it before i made the offer. The realtor thought it was hilarious when i said i had to be sure before the offer was made.
Have fun Be careful The one thing good about this city is there are no HOA's. Hey, at least there's one good thing about this place There was supposed to be a slight gap in the gutter area or a pipe in the concrete, but it appears they forgot both. Probably one too many beers before they started.
I literally lay a carpet piece over my driveway every time I take the 348 out. The front underside still scrapes on the carpet but doesn't leave any scratches. I sometimes cheat and sneak out over my neighbours driveway which is more user friendly.
Nah - we get along fine. I sought his permission beforehand. I wouldn't do something like that without asking.
Too many busy-bodies, and they all say the same thing: do nothing in life. That's why so few people are rich in a nation that makes getting rich a piece of cake.
