Those piles always look huge, but they cover an amazingly small area when you spread the material. Y’all are doing a good job. I used to think I wanted to do something like this, but at 66 I cannot work like I use-t-could so when I see someone doing this I just think oh heck no LOL.
That's the crazy part. Sometimes it takes getting onto the property and living the reality before such decisions should be made. Or just have a wife who wanted that all along and can now say I told you so.
Assuming question; Is “concrete washout” just crushed/left over/recycled concrete? If so, is it cheaper then the type of gravel one would put on a driveway usually? Also, is this Just a base layer, AND THEN regular gravel goes on top? Sorry for the 20?s thanks
You've got it. Recycled left-over material from returning from a job. Waaaaaay cheaper than just about anything else you can use as a base layer. Indeed, it is just a base layer. It does contain some gravel but not enough to be considered a top layer. We topped it with #57 limestone.

And to think, originally you planned a short driveway and could see the road from the house.

25 more of those, please.
didn't you put liquid ballast into your rear tractor tires?
Nope. Not yet.
Why not let the drivers spread the gravel?
This truck/driver wasn't setup to spread. We had the gravel spread by a smaller truck.
Tip and drive?
@@LostWhits yes
