Dude. I actually have a small island nation to trade you. I own part of Sealand. And as a member of the ruling family and baron of my land, I accept your trade offer.

I will swing by this weekend to pick up the keys


Seriously though that is I credibly amazing

@lefty FYI The file name in your post might contain some information you weren't intending to make "public".

I have no idea what that means but I removed it.

Thanks. Unless you're actually a secret competing realtor.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but that does not look like a prime candidate to be a gopher hunter.

I don't think it is a prime candidate for hunting much of anything.

I guarantee it's a prime candidate of hunting food

When you mouse over an image, the file name is displayed. Yours resembled an address.

Ahh, well I am selling it so the address is a given.

For sale: one house. After payment is received I will tell you the hemisphere, and time zone. For an extra 10% I will tell you the city. The door is unlocked, bon chance

Apologies in advance for the horror that follows, but what is everyone's experience with having their driveways "re-paved" versus "fill in the holes and seal coated"? My driveway is looking grim and I've highlighted the two most egregious areas below. My better half thinks it's wasteful to drop 12-15K on a full repaving, when a whack-a-mole?, sealant approach can be had for 2K.

It adds to the mystery.

My two cents: we had a driveway in worse shape than yours, and we redid it with concrete. For the top picture, you could probably get away with just resealing, but once those big chunks start coming up, that's not going to fix the problem, and it will continue to crack and break away.

You don't actually have a driveway anymore. The whack a mole approach will work until lt doesn't and eventually your driveway will be nothing but patch. The second picture out show had the asphalt actually dissolving, and it needs to be replaced. Spend 13-15 now, or spend 2-4 per year for the next few years and then pay 15-18 to replace in a few years. That driveway is toast. The edges are crumpling, waster will continue to get in and eat away, expecially if you live somewhere with a freeze thaw cycle

Looked like my driveway, and it needed replaced badly.
