Jim
and James Ploof arrived first thing this Saturday morning to place a verge of ¾″ crusher run gravel all along the driveway, this
reinforcing the asphalt edges to prevent them from deteriorating. They used
their Yanmar mini-excavator to scoop gravel out of the truck and place it where
needed. Then James compacted the gravel
with their big vibrating roller. I had
told Jim that one 14 cubic yard dump-truck load should be enough for the
job. He (wisely) got two loads from the
Carrara stockpile. Unfortunately, three
loads were needed… and Carrara’s is not open on the weekends this time of year
(deer season).
