Yes we do. It fits nicely into our "informal" garden (ok jungle) with its rustic, grass up the middle, look.

 

Maintenance consists of bunging a load of fresh rocks down every few years on the bits that have sunk.

 

I admit to zero preparation when it was laid. Dump the rocks, barrow and rake them level (ish), drive the truck up and down a few times, get a beer. Repeat after a few months, eventually it goes rock hard and stops sinking.

 

Not looking its best in this photo but it's cheap and if you have an informal garden just fine.

 

That will ding dang do for me.

I've been up all night thinking about this bloody driveway, it's doing my nut in.....I'm of to buy the jetwash then I'm going back to bed!

So does anyone have a crushed stone driveway? Will it just eventually sink away into the ground? All advice much appreciated, just days away from the final decision.

How long - 7 meters or 70 meters? Most country places with long driveways have good sized crushed rock/dirt combo built up driveways usually leading up to a concrete pad, covered garage....

Are you on high ground or a low lying area....Flat?

 In between to be honest no chance of flooding and just on a slight slope.

concrete, almost  maintenance  free.................u  know  it  makes  sense

Ive already seen that and you know it.... once again very nice job.

That's what I'm thinking but we have concrete walkways around the house and the algie that grows is a pain in the ass in fact I'm off into town tomorrow to buy a jetwash to blast it all off. The car port is already there, it's not too big a space probably 300 square m.

One for every day of the week.

Will crushed stone just sink into the ground?

That's the kind of questions I want answering and should have tried harder with the topic but I'm very tired, been digging all day. Thanks.

Hi, starting on a new driveway soon the wife wants concrete I want crushed stone. Any advice on either thanks.

Jake, how are the crayfish coming on? Lots of us watching so please keep posting.

Horn clearly got smashed in some rounds ...especially the 9th !!

But horn did just enough in the early and final rounds to win... as recorded unanimously by all judges.

LOL.

So you think Horn outpointed Pacquiao in that fight?

The judges WERE from another country!

Try to obtain the facts before posting your dribble.
 

Had that fight been in America, England, Germany say he would have had points deducted and maybe disqualified. It's clear you have no clue what your talking about and the only poster posting dribble on this thread is you.

Didn't see the fight....but on BBC Sports news they said Horn contacted with 17 percent of his punches.....and Manny contacted with 37 percent of his. A bit of a strange result based on that, and Horn was knocked down. Maybe the judges should be people who know nothing about boxing, and they give their decisions based on what they see right in front of them.....I doubt they would get it wrong.

Horn did go down but it was ruled out, he got a slap for sure  before he went down and I would have to watch it again as the room erupted. Not sure about the correct punches landed but I read something like Pacquiao 180 odd to Horns 80 odd so that tells the story. If it was for headbutting, grabbing the head of the opponent and using the elbows then Horn was the clear winner, in any other country he would have at least had 2 points deducted if not disqualified. Any way it was a very exiting fight blood all over the place and Horn ended up with a face like a smashed kebab, looking forward to the next bout and I agree with the poster before saying they will be another after the next.

Great fight and well done Horn he put on a great performance and when the scorecards were read out I thought no way Pacquiao didn't win by that much then they said a new   shocking decision if ever I saw one and if this wasn't a fix to make the rematch then I'm Mike Tyson.

And I'll tell you something else no tree frogs around and no bullfrogs this year as last we had loads. Is it possible that the toads have run them out of town?
