I have paved a few driveways in my day. I worked as an estimator for a road building company after I did my engineering tech in college. If you have clay you want to go about 2' down. geotextile on that is a good idea. It keeps the clay from boiling up into your gravel base. If you are lucky you will have some slope to the road and when things get wet your new gravel will drain down to the road. If not, the hole you dug in the clay will fill like a swimming pool and when it freezes its going to move. Weeping tile down each side of the paved area is a good idea. Assuming you have good drainage you compact 18" of pit run gravel into your hole, then 6" of granular A on top. Then whatever top you want on it. Stone dust for your brick, concrete or asphalt right on top. You gotta adjust your depth of excavation for the thickness of whatever you put on top. If you are in sand or well drained material you want to go with the 6" of granular A. Kinda depends on how solid your existing ground is. If its soft you may want a bit of pit run in there too. You need a solid base thats drained to keep the top from moving. Granular A is graded to pack very hard. The pit run packs and drains well. It sounds like I am rambling but drainage is key. If it doesn't drain you should go with interlocking brick because when it heaves you can take it out, relevel the whole thing and put it back again.

Mine hits the water 3 times a week...and some weekends too

so you put a bit of oil on your wood when you set to polishing it eh. Turned out really nice. Is there a reason for the hockey puck other than looks? Possibly protecting the butt when you set it on the ground?

Spark plugs anually? Why? My 4 stroke sled has 10,000 miles on the original plugs. Do they foul cause of trolling?

I believe on Manitoulin Island you have to carry written permission from the landowner. There was talk of doing that here on St Joeseph Island as well

Just smile and wave at him, then do the little pistol shooting gesture with your hand and smile again. He will do something really dumb sooner or later so that he can be charged. As far as posted land goes. Red dots are no tresspassing. No hunting signs means no hunting is allowed on the property, even by the owner. No hunting does not mean no tresspassing. People can go on property posted no hunting and be assured that they will not be shot by hunters.

ya..k...I use a flyrod

I just carry a set of ramps. gets you on and off the lake and cross the big pressure cracks

you mean smelts right?

Snowing like mad here now...I hear its moving your way

I drove through Beaverton a few years ago with my daughter. It was a scary place. Kinda deserted, like in a horror movie we were watching for a guy with a sickle to jump out of the bushes. We didn't spend the night there...good luck with it

Kinda splains the inactivity on dealing with Asian carp. Its not going to be an issue

This is getting waaaaay too specialized for me.

Other than the couple little spots you have been to there is not much in this neck of the woods for winter walleyes

I wasn't serious about it, but Anything that you buy and pay PST on, you will not be paying it any more..you get it all back same as GST. Lets face it, Dalton is taxing us to death and screwing up big time with his stupid save the planet windmills and solar power. He is doing nothing for the natural resources industry. Mining and logging is dieing and all he cares about is his golden triangle

Hey, I heard yesterday that if you put a solar panel on your house they will pay you $.80 a kwh for what you put into the system. Power right now costs $.07 kwh. Thats gonna be a good subsidy. In 20 years we are going to have nothing but broken down windmills all over the country when you add both incomes I get nothing back hey..at least most is well spent..just make sure you buy tax free cigs and whiskey

I was just wondering what part of what I said was WRONG. Maybe mentioning H&R Block cause they can be pretty dumb sometimes.

Do you feel that if you handed them your rig and you took theirs that it would be the same thing...they would outfish you 3 to 1?

We need open water and summer. There are a bunch of people in here with a severe case of Cabin fever

How many more?

Don't let it bother you. If they can't even spell, how can they add up their taxes.

Actually Dalton is doing a very good job of this. The HST will help small business and manufacturing. Mike harris is the guy that sold off all our power generation capabilities and left us with the debt and high power bills.

................skip it

I tried braid last year for eyes and I'm going back to momo. The flouro I will keep using for tying harnesses...maybe

Your wife has to file her own return. She will get back any tax she paid that way. You claim her as a dependant and I believe you show her income. Your daughter files her own as well. I believe you can claim her tuition but she has to claim the rent and such if she lived away from home for school. H&R Block is your friend...or read the book
