I'll be glad to add some photos. See what I can muster up.

After so long, I thought I would update this forum on the outcome of my dilema. We decided to bitumise the area and in fact, used the brick edging with plants down the side with a narrower driveway. Turned out very neat and we are extremely happy with the end product. As I mentioned before...

Hello all you property gurus. Hopefully, there is a brighter investor than me out there that help me in my situation. I currently have a unit in Yarraville (VIC) that is part of a complex that has been subjected to inaction by Body Corporate management due to insufficient funds as a result...

Howdy everyone. It has been quite some time since I last posted here and now I figured it was time to get back into it. I have been searching throughout Canberra for a supplier of Astrolawn (aka Astroturf) but I can only find low quality products that just look fake. I did contact...

I hope these question and answers are not real. Surely the education system is better than this. Q: Name the four seasons. A: Salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar. Q: Explain one of the processes by which water can be made safe to drink. A: Flirtation makes water safe to drink because...

I have considered this method but it would require quite a few traps to stem the water flow and even then time would be required dig out the gravel washed into the water trap. I am still waiting for a couple of companies to get back to me about asphalt/bitumen driveways. This method does...

To be honest, I had discounted bitumen as I thought that it would cost too much. Rule number 1, never assume anything. Will invstigate that option and while I am at it, will see what is involved with colours etc. Get back to you all on that one. Thanks for the tip guys and gals...

We did lay the gravel onto the driveway and used a roller to compact it about 10 years ago. It has stood the test of time pretty well but the washout is occuring on the left wheel rut for about 15m or so. We have used cement powder and the like to try and slow the process down but it seems to...

Thanks Mr Ed. Would take an enormous amount of effort to do all that but I guess we will have to keep that option in mind. It is a battleaxe block which accounts for the length. Need to clean up the whole length anyhow, so a mini backyard blitz on the driveway will be a good excuse. We are...

Hi everyone, Can I get some ideas on what I can do to stop my driveway from washing away when it rains? It is a gravel (Paddys River) mix that is 60m long and 6m wide. I have compacted it and it has survived the last 10 years fairly well. Only problem that I have is that the left wheel...

I have been using this program for a few months now and it is very good. My only problem with it, is that a lot of the bounces are rejected or produce an error indicating that the email account of the sender is not valid. This is true when the spammer could not care about the address as they...

Re: CF101 Howdy Brains. I did not know your email address and I could not find an area to send the following attachment so I will have to attach it here for you. I hope this does not break any of the forum rules. The following is from Boyler Room when I asked the same question in the old...

Re: Weakest Link 3.1 The original question has an answer of N(ine) but I can not figure out the second one.

Re: WINNERS LIST This sounds like Father Christmas and a photo while frantic parents nervously jumping up and down to make their babies smile. Bit late to answer but I forgot to come back after we had a power failure.

For Figs sake Sim, that was bad. ;)
