Project Driveway

My driveway's horrible! Gravel/stone driveway with a steep hill in the middle. It has decayed over the past several years, due to rain washouts, etc. Last year I put 5 tons of a graded base (stone/stone dust) on it. The truck came and dumped the stone and we shoveled it into a wagon, and pulled it up with the tractor and shoveled it out. A lot of work!
So a couple months ago, I got 10 tons delivered. We did maybe a quarter of it like last year....... and kinda stopped.
Well it has to get done, so I went down to Rent-A-Center and rented a Bobcat for next Thursday.
AND seeing I now had a Bobcat, I decided to get 10 more tons of the graded base. That got delivered today.
Right now, the driveway looks like this:
It's worse than it looks....
Here's my approx 17 ton of stone:
It's not as much as it sounds.....
....but I'll probably end up wishing I had rented a backhoe!!!

That looks like it will keep you busy, at least for a little while.
