    The Thievin' Bas*****

    Saw a burnt dozer at the sawmill yesterday. Told the owner that I hoped he bought it for parts. He said it was his sons. They were logging a piece of property that the timber was sold at auction separate from the property. Well apparently the new owners have been trying every legal tactic they...

    Geotextile fabric between gravel layers (driveway repair)

    One thing to remember is that fabric will work and help immensely in certain situations.
