Driveway/contactors poll

No recent polls how about this, the neighbors driveway that we have an easement on and use was redone late last year by a...er...I can't use that word here , he got a third party to do the work after an 18 month lawsuit, before he bought the place the prior owners didn't make the winery that also has an easement maintain the road, and the judge told them (winery) to fufill their contract and fix the road, then pay the neighbors lawyer fees they were pretty smart, wern't they?

Now the road has been replaced, but much of it is gone since it was the cheapest guy arround they got what they paid for no proper drainage and the rain washed it away not to mention the prior road was asphalt, new is gravel, I'll post some pictures if you like.

What I want to know is "where did you get that picture of our mechanic for your av?????" Screw the driveway thing. I guess the 'judge' should have ordered one of those DR driveway machines too.

This entire culvert enterance was filled with large rocks and a plastic bucket that fell in during "roadwork", this caught leaves and gravel, thus the water overflowed onto the road.



What I dug out of the hole, the bucket is no longer there, but you get the idea.



After I discussed my concerns with the contractor he "paved " the corner with some leftover asphalt and said more $$$ to do the drainage... It had cracks from day one, this is a 300 degree switchback type turn, and even though I have never built a road I am well aware of the stress on a corner such as this, the loose area is less than 1 inch of asphalt, and there is another area on the inside of the corner.





The sandbags and drainage was put in by the property owner to slow further damage, it also seems likley that the contractor did not use a vibrating type roller to compact the base, most of the missing gravel is out in the fields or in the drainage ditches
