Back on topic?Paquio clearly was not prepared for this bout,he underestimated his opponent and that cost him dearly.

rule number one,never underestimate your opponent,he will come prepared for the rebout and win.

He did for sure... It's a win win for both, Horns the champion now and Pacquiao will fight him again rematches generate money if the first fight was good, look at the morallez fights the marquez fights eaven the bradley fights, millions to be had, look at golden boy now, how do you get a fight with there top men? Next we have Alvarez vs Golovkin! who is gonna take that? I'll be cheering for Golovkin but ill bet my bottom dollar Alvarez wins on points.

Ive  found it may stop some weeds under the textile but grass seeds would still sprout in the gravel between gravel and textile...............although I guess easy to pull out anyway.

We have a thick grass that grows in some parts of the garden that is impossible to stop... it thrives on fish shit but then again so do our limes.... I will re direct the shit into my new limes and keep the drive poop free.

I had it for 3  years but it was always temporary until all the other work was done.

My land is mainly stone anyway underneath so no sinking but depends on your subsoil etc.

The stone is CHEAP ,concrete aint.

The stone will move around where wheels go over it regularly and if your  not gentle on the clutch you can get wheelspin, I have a  motorbike also and had to be really careful on it.

Yes that's something to think about as I pop out often late at night to grab a few more beers. I am going with the stone for now and if its not good enough then its concrete. I just like the look of the stone.

Andrew, in looking at your pics I'm interested in your front wall.  Did you use precast concrete panels?  Either way, tell me about the fence and the cost.  I have about 400 meters of fence to figure out. 

 

Marc that's kannot's wall, there's a thread going where he explains everything. I don't know how to link a thread up but think the thread is building a perimeter fence.

 

Couldn't decide on the jetwash.

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.
