this one shows my driveway going uphill towards the main road. paved road is 1/2 mile away. notice the shade on the road, will have to change that so snow will melt off driveway, now it just stays there till it melts

Why the unequal spacing on the I beams, or is that just the camera angle?

He put two on each end, and then two more to match the width of car/truck tires.

I picked the i-beam spacing because of the difference between a small compact car, like my wife's geo. And the difference in a full size truck or my car trailer. idea was that no matter what i drove across it there would always be a i-beam right below the wheels.
