  1. Rob the Chicken

     

    Rob came home drunk one night, slid into bed beside his sleeping wife, and fell into a deep slumber..

     

    He awoke before the Pearly Gates, where St. Peter said, 'You died in your sleep, Rob....'

     

    Rob was stunned. 'I'm dead? No, I can't be! I've got too much to live for. Send me back!'

     

    St. Peter said, 'I'm sorry, but there's only one way you can go back, and that is as a chicken.'

     

    Rob was devastated, but begged St. Peter to send him to a farm near his home..... The next thing he knew, he was covered with feathers, clucking, and pecking the ground.

     

    A rooster strolled past. 'So, you're the new hen, huh? How's your first day here?'

     

    'Not bad,' replied Rob the hen, 'but I have this strange feeling inside. Like I'm gonna explode!'

     

    'You're ovulating,' explained the rooster.

    'Don't tell me you've never laid an egg before? '

     

    'Never,' said Rob.

     

    'Well, just relax and let it happen,' says the rooster. 'It's no big deal.'

     

    Rob did, and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg!

     

    Rob was overcome with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon laid another egg -- his joy was overwhelming.

     

    As he was about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head, and heard his wife yell.....

     

    "ROB, wake up. You crap the bed!'

  2. I work for a geotechnical engineering company, and I would say minimum a minimum of 6"of properly compacted Granular 'A' or 3/4"Crusher-Run limestone would be sufficient as a base. If your subgrade is closer to clay, go with 10-12", in areas of sandy subgrade, 6" is more than enough. Follow that up with 60mm of HL-3 Asphalt, and you'll have a driveway that will hold up for the foreseeable future. When the paver is laying the asphalt, have someone check the thickness with a nail, these guys buy asphalt by the ton and may try and skim a bit off the top. Also, when discussing asphalt thickness, make sure to specify 60mm of asphalt packed. That should work out to around 75mm loose.

    If you have any questions feel free to PM me, I can also point you in the right direction of a quality contractor. If you want I'd be happy to come over and take a look.

     

    I'd make sure they use a mix with manufactured sand, and no RAP, this will make it much more stable.
