I drank a can of v8 and it helped almost immediately. I will get a case of gatorade as it warms we will be putting some finishing touches on the project. I have completed my loading ramp for the bobcat, and will try to load it up and take it to a rental house to fix and build a turn around driveway. I am going to have to create a shared driveway agreement after I complete the loop as we own both houses on both sides of the current curb cut driveway. After I am gone, I want my wife to have the option to sell one or both of the houses.
I am going to have to scoop up all the existing gravel and white sands, and get a load of road clay to create a new base, and then put the sand and gravel over the new base. I used to go to the port and get white bahamian gravel for the driveway which is like buying gold. In Illinois we can fill our dump truck up for about $19 for three tons, and here it is about $150. I have to get the bobcat back to Illinois because one of our neighbors said with the warm weather they had a February flood which deposited a huge maple tree over our main road to one of the main causeway crossings. I can use the lull, but in early spring after the islands have flooded the weight of the lull leaves ruts. The bobcat is a rubber tracked machine which floats on the surface and will be able to push the tree off the road until is dries out a bit more. The problem will be once I drop off the bobcat to do the driveway work, I have no way to get it back into the bed of the dump truck. I have a very high mound septic system we think we can back up to and run the bobcat off the back end of the truck, but getting it back into the truck to return to Illinois for the season will require us building another ramp which used about a truckload of sandy fill, so it looks like I will need about three loads of dirt and clay, and our dump truck full of gravel.
