----, why don't you just hire Buk as your project manager.


I have an asphalt driveway and it blows ***. Front jack wheel pits, squares from jackstands, and, they come and redo the damn thing every 2 years. The builder just tried to go cheap knowing that the association would have to pay to upkeep this bullshit.

They would crack under vehicular load unless they were 3.5'' thick. Using smaller pieces would be ok.

I could never do concrete for a living. I work for a constructoin company and i've probably done a total of like 12 concrete pads. It's definatley not something I enjoy doing, but there's bookoo $ in commercial concrete pours.

Yea concrete prep sucks ***!! asphalt is easier. I worked laying asphalt for around 7months. The only thing that stopped us from laying it was rain. Cold weather didnt matter. But its not hard to lay asphalt. And there are reasons for the asphalt breaking up or smashing down in spots its cause they didnt roll the dirt/pack the dirt/rocks under the asphalt good enough. we used a big roller to do so. we usually roll it for a couple hours before we lay the asphalt. well goodluck with whatever you do!

if you pour concrete, don't ------ get cheapo quikrete if you do it yourself. it doesn't last, cracks, starts sanding, etc. throw some gravel in there too, or even a gravel bed. itll help depending on where you are pouring the pad, ie hillside washout. rent a power trowel, make that ---- smooth as glass.

Gravel bed tamped down is the right way to do it. And dont mix it in a wheel barrel yourself or it'll look like ---- when you're done in 2 weeks.
