my driveway was paved in 1990 ,..still real good around the u that cicles the house ,,. the front part that connects the circle has been taking some real abuse from my neighbor winery that has egress engress rights dating back to 1930 ,.. but it is in good condition yet,.. after 100 loads of concrete trux,,. just as many gravel trux ,,. and 100 semis per yr and heavy strait trux,, not to mention the 100 cars during the week and the weekend total going betwen 75 vehicles daily to 150 depending on the events ,,..all this goes on half mile past my house ,,.but everydamvehicle Is 20 ft from my 1930 built front porch , a REAL PIA ,that we afre getting tired of . all that will change next yr ,,the winery is buying 60ft of the cornfield I rent and will build to county standards a 18ft wide roadway on their property and will ign t vacate my land and we will plant alfalfa in the old roadway after we take up the road and trade it for topsoil ,,.. at least that is the plan ,. this yr they needed 3 phase service back there so I insisted and they did put the poles all on the property line ,.thus negating the possbility of a shared road beyond my house ,. now most of our county rds will last 10 yrs ,, if we seal the craks we easily gain another 5 yrs ,,. my road when I became commissioner in 2002 was 16ft at best with a pig drain ,waller for a ditch,, that was typical of most all the roads we had in my district ,, what we did for the most part is widen all the roads that we rebuilt to a minimum of 18ft and up to 22 ft for main drainer connector roads,,..and of course we sometimes had hostile landowners I had to assauge to get rite away permission ,, where the terrain or people would not allow us to put a ditch ,,. we made a underground aquifer by digging down 3ft on the sides of the road , some 3 to 5ft wide in order to correct the surveyor true equal property line adjustments ,. this deep trench we filled with shot rock and smaller rock topt off with53s and waste lime,.. it was then compacted and rested a winter to settle in before paving would begin in april , after serveral days of rain it is a neat thing to go by these roads with a long aquifier and go to the bottom of the hill and seethe clean water flowing thru ,,.... for the most part we rarely had to go back and fix trouble spots , mostly they were red clay pumpers,. keeping water off of the road and immedeitely under is most important to the life of pavement ..
