That the driveway is 50 years old and quite steep and in New England =
would be my guess, but I just need it smoothed asap. How did you cut it =
open? Does a gas powered stone cutter work or would it get gooped up =
with hot tar?
At some point when the paving companies deign to speak to pesky =
homeowners I'll have the whole driveway redone, or ideally, it won't be =
my driveway anymore.
