Could maybe just fix the damn dam, damn. Seriously though, one load of top soil would probably do it. It really needs to be a dumptruck load of crush and run. We need a load of 57's for the dam, and a bunch of shovels and a day. 57's will drain and are "open graded" requiring no compaction...they also won't wash on a flat surface. Fill the ruts first and then spread the remainder evenly over the rest of the road. But this costs money. |

Called to order the pig today at lunch. He told me when I called the first time that this was the earliest he'd take an order, but he asked me to wait until a couple of weeks out...and sorta bitched (in a friendly manner) about people that were looking for one that day.
This place sure has a narrow window of acceptability for placing an order. Anyway, I'm going to start looking for a backup procurer of pigs, if anyone knows of one please get me the info. I think this place is good to go, but like I said...backup. |

When you're grading a building pad to +/- .5" you learn to leave it a smidge high before it's rolled. Aside from knocking 57's into subgrade (which is what I think you mean by compact) you cannot compact them any more than driving a lawn mower over them makes it "tighter." Via contracts there is a reason it's call "open graded stone" as opposed to "dense graded stone" like 21B's but I DO get your meaning. In our circumstance 57's are the bee's knees. We still have 81 people on the 100% "in" list...but do not despair standby's. Come on down. Donate.
