A mail box which is actually needed for most households is far more likely to be stolen than some POS plastic block in the middle of the road. I have literally 0 doubt that it will remain as is. And if you live somewhere where you fear of someone stealing your mailbox you have bigger issues than driveways.

That is what's so annoying about the whole situation... it's a house on a flat lot with a pretty much flat street in front of it, but the huge gutter dip makes it a PITA. A damn Lyft Corolla scraped backing out... Sadly this entire area is built like this, which is likely why I am more by the scrape than anyone else here ever was. I am even at 4X4 height on the C5.

Did the ramps fit well in the gutter? Any scrappage left now?D Griff wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:32 amThat is what's so annoying about the whole situation... it's a house on a flat lot with a pretty much flat street in front of it, but the huge gutter dip makes it a PITA.

Seeing how different cities around North America handle storm water is interesting to me, especially down south like FL. BTW, the house looks great bro.
Thanks! Really enjoying it, actually working in my home office at the moment which is nice. It's a lot of work so far, so glad we got something "move in ready".Tarspin wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:36 amDid the ramps fit well in the gutter?

They did fit nicely in the gutter, while overpriced for what they are, they are very well made/designed. I don't think there was any scrape... it's cold and wet so pulling in the driveway with 200TW tars the T/C always activates and makes it a bit of a bumpy ride so it is slightly hard to tell exactly what was happening. In the BMW it felt like almost nothing which is

We always make our place move in ready if it isn't already right off the hop. There's always more shit to do just to keep a home going anyways.D Griff wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:41 amThanks!

I home office work, doing the same today except that I'm lying on the couch lol
Sadly my office shit requires multiple monitors, headset, etc. so couch isn't a great option. I suppose I could cast things on the TV.Tarspin wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 10:46 amWe always make our place move in ready if it isn't already right off the hop.

Ive been thinking on this topic for a while. I'll likely be doing something similar to my carport. My approach angle is fine and very flat, but there is a 1.5" transition from the driveway concrete to a "topper" slab placed in the carport/patio area.

Huh, I didn't see that option, probably would have gone that route as it's way cheaper. Oh well.dubshow wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2020 9:29 am Ive been thinking on this topic for a while.

Anyway, you have a backup plan for $150 and 1 hour of work. I think this product is a dense rubberized material. I've seen similar commercial applications with great success and 10+ years of use.
Yeah I wanted to get away from scraping every time ASAP.dubshow wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2020 9:36 amI know Im a month late to topic, sorry. You bought very quickly (understandably). I think about this kinda of shit a lot being its my background + car guy.
