Leangths some people go to not scrape... *pics*
#1

Last summer we had the Driveway pulled out and the pavers put in. Do to Historic restrictions we can not use pavers on the Skirt of the driveway. So we did not pull out the skirt when the driveway was replaced. The skirt has been one of those nagging projects that you are reminded of daily. The old skirt was narrow and forced you to go straight in. So if you took it at an angle you were guaranteed to pop the corner of the curb which was steep and sharp. Not that great on our Denali's large tires. My TT would scrape slightly when going in and out. Well I just installed the Sportec Lip on the car and it would have been destroyed if I tried to leave the driveway. Last week I had our old skirt removed and a new skirt poured. This time it is 6' wider and had them give me a 1.5" lip which leveled the skirt a bit not having such a steep slope.



Here is the demo phase and reinstallation which happend on Tuesday....

I had to wait until Saturday for the 6" of concrete dry. It was a long week!! I was very anxious to try it out. Would my engineering work? Eric your no engineer what were you thinking! In the end it worked perfectly!!!! Lots of room to spare. So Bob next time you come to CO you can park in the driveway.



Also I picked up a low rise lift which I is being delivered when I get back from DC next week.

Congrats on the gorgeous new "driver's" driveway. NICE!!!



When I was buying a house years ago, the first selling point noted was the driveway's "rake."



Location, location, location was the reason I bought where I did. The flat/wide driveway was the reason I bought the particular house.



Even with my euro ride height and TechArt front splitter, I can pull straight out and in without coming close to touching.
