Alright! We have a real driveway! We need one more load of drive material but we have a fully functioning driveway all the way around the back of the West Wing and into the garage.
Here is the drive with the skidsteer putting down the material.
After the granite screenings went down it was time to compact. That is the key to a project like this. If you don't compact, compact, compact the material doesn't set up and get as firm as it should.
Bill went one way then the other way, and then diagonally.
I wold wet the drive in between his passes to help with the compaction.
You can see the difference. On the left has been compacted twice and on the right just once.
This was my job. The guys got to use the equipment to move stuff around. I got the wheelbarrow and shovel. The skidsteer would never be able to get up close and personal with the rocks so that is all done by hand.
So excited to have this done. In the rains this morning we were able to just pull out and drive. No worries about ruts or anything.
