Interesting case on The Pipple's court
 
Interesting case on The Pipple's court

Next door neighbor B installs or replaces cement driveway, right next to
their (A's) blacktop/asphalt** driveway.

For the forms, the contractor uses 2x4's and stakes them by pounding
stakes into A's driveway.

When A complains, he comes out and in court he says he patches it with
blacktop, but he actually patched it with cement, plus he got a lot of
cement powder on the driveway which hardened when it rained.

Even after he lost, he still thinks he's right, and claims the driveway
was already crumbling, even though pictures show the rest of it is
perfect.



**What's the differece?

What difference? Silly Democrat, confused again? It's simple, the
contractor had no right to pound anything into the neighbor's driveway.
Not hard at all. Also, IDK how anyone "pounds" 2x4;s into asphalt.

If the asphalt driveway is that close to the new concrete pour, to the
point that it's butting up against it, then there should have been no
reason to put up a 2x4 retainer. The border edge of the asphalt
driveway would serve as the retainer wall for the concrete pour. I've
seen it done. You'd want to match the height between the driveways
anyways to prevent a trip-hazzard and create proper rain drainage.
