Puff,
I think that's what ABC amounts to.
Mike,
Man, nobody puts down that much gravel around here. You sitting on
permafrost? I don't doubt it'd be the best way, though. Thing is, I'm
retired and trying to do this thing for charitable purposes mainly. I dream
of that shop being used for teaching and fellowship. Real rustic, with a
lean-to porch overlooking the bottoms where the deer hangout. Where these
Charlotte city folks can get a taste of nature and basics - kids and men.

Remove the stump's and use crushed limestone WITH the dust. Tamp it well and
it will harden up well.

In answering a workshop question I thought some of you might have some
ideas
on a rural driveway down to my new shop.

The deal is I'm trying to save money and trees. If I do the normal
clearing
they'll take out more trees than the minimum and they'll have the land all
torn up removing the stumps. Most of the top ones are good sized pines and
then hardwoods usually 18-24" after that.

So, I'm wondering about cutting the trees as ground close as possible and
just covering with ABC stone. When they rot I'd just fill with more ABC. I
think it's going to be too expensive to have a stump grinder go even
lower.
Probably be about 250' of road.

Thanks for the thoughts
