Laying a pipe under a driveway

[oosik]

And it's intended purpose is?...

So large ships won't run into the rock cliffs as they navigate my five acre lake.

BTW - one advantage to a gravel driveway. After 30 years - my septic system drain filed had to be upgraded. The new drain field was on the other side of my driveway.

Just ditch across the driveway. Lay a heavy wall plastic pipe across. Run the two inch pressure pipe inside the 4" HD pipe. Backfill and tomp.

Not near the expense or complications of an asphalt or concrete drive.

Get a flag pole that has solar powered light on top.

Bingo. The solar panel and battery could sit at the base of the pole. An LED car headlight should light the flag just fine.

Running wires to remote locations for electricity is so last century.

That's an idea. Cut where the asphalt meets the concrete.

I tried to talk him into solar but all the ones he used before don't last long.

You could cut where the asphalt meets the concrete, then when done, fill the gap with a decorative brick strip.

He is pushing 80, stuck in his own ways.

Went over this past weekend and he was cutting a strip out of his driveway.

Not how I would do it but it's his property

I can't wait until I'm 80, so people can give me a pass for being stuck in my ways.

Joys of getting old I guess, his house his way. Gives him something to do I guess.

When it comes to his hunting property, he asks me. I have total say on what goes on out there. I'll give him his house, we will sell it when the time comes anyway.

So that's one of the reasons my son sometimes disagrees with me. I'm 82 and he is only 54. He hasn't had the experiences that I've had. Many I hope he never has to have.

The thing I miss most about TBN'S old format is the related threads list that appeared at the bottom of pages. I think we had a thread on this topic several years ago and some of the guys made running pipe under pavement seem easy. Now I can't find the thread.

Thanks for the likes, guys. I hope the administrators will notice and put the lists of related articles back at the bottoms of pages. They were very helpful.

I'm pushing 80 too, but occasionally read recent publications.
