Completed redoing my driveway this weekend. Sick of smowblowing all the #2 stone on the lawn and sinking in with the cars in the mud season. Luckily I have a relative that has a NEw Holland tractor and knows how to use it. widened the drive, cut into a bank and made another access/parking area along the garage/saphouse. drainage in place, road fabric down and 45 ton of crusher run...looks nice! now back to maple stuff as time permits
