was the base shot with prime oil before paving? looked like no oil on base

Your absolutely correct, it's difficult to find people that can work, yet alone take some initiative. It seems common sense and pride are a thing of the past too. Some clown says " hire Mexicans " in this comment section, funny, my boss just did, 3, slow as molasses and every day seems like the first. They " say " they're experienced. Like a roller guy said to someone, you may have 20 years experience, try paying attention the next 20.

@@richardtruesdell8289 you don't spray tack on gravel base just a shot of water usually. If you did the tracks on the paver would pick it up and plug. I have seen tack sprayed on shoulders after finished and compacted for erosion control.

So paving this is somewhere around $50,000.00.That looks about as long as our driveway which is roughly estimate 3000 feet. We plan to put down 60 truck loads of iron ore = $12,500.00.Using slag would be around $27,000.00.I better go buy some mega million powerball tickets.

My driveway too infact uf u vuy bricks little by little it is a diy hib but if u pave it with over priced cement it asphalt u need a pro bricks is better i find as u can do it urself in small section at least that's what im doing and my driveway is just as long 75 acres property and another 15 acres both need driveway
@jdsasphalt32783 жыл бұрын
Paving 3000 square feet is not 50000 maybe 30,000
@hvguy2 жыл бұрын
Don't use coal slag ever. It doesn't compact. And make sure you don't get super sandy iron ore. If anything just save your money for a good base and just asphalt it. 3000ft 10ft wide would be in the ballpark of 60k tho.

Greetings from Germany! I have some Qestions: 1. Is the Asphat you pave in waterproof? Or it have to be sealcoatet? In Germany we dont sealcoat the driveways or roads! In Germany we do the first layer 10cm 32 Betokies in the driveway who is not waterproof and at the top the 2 layer 4cm 5er asphaltdeckschicht with this ammout of bitumen it is waterproof! 2. Why is the guy punching the side of the driveway with the asphalt distributor(
@dekonfrost72 жыл бұрын
Bruder Ich habe die die anworten In America we have a lot of petroleum and as a byproduct asphalt , so here it is relatively cheap. The fabric missing at the end is not a big deal. After a few years the driveways are seal coated. And the cracks filled..depth is not measured by ultra sonic it’s done by operator. Also to be waterproof which highways are has a fabric layer between the layers for reinforcement and is held in place by hot liquid asphalt.

The amount of men power that it requires, the level of equipment, and gives you an idea on budget for such big project. Yeah man....Building your own paradise doesn’t come cheap, but it’s so worth it.

No cushion at the header? Fill in first at the concrete a bit lower roll it! Set paver back over concrete put down wood and take off. I didn't see one hand tamp other then using the asphalt rake not sufficient. we hand roll edges to keep from blowing out edge. gives time to cool then power roll. so-so job.. sorry.
