What to do--neighbor disturbing driveway gravel...

[Marylander]

Buy some gravel or buy some cement and fix the driveway. Don’t expect anyone to come to your aid just because you are in the right.

[Mamzelle]

well, there is also treated lumber if a railroad tie is too unweildy. Treated lumber can be bought in small sizes, stacked, then rebar through. Would need a drill to make holes for the rebar.

I can’t believe all of the pussy footing from you wusses here. If it were me, I would have shot him already. </FR badass>

Get three or four bags of fast drying concrete (about $3 a bag) and make a permanent ramp there. Press some of the gravel into the wet cement before it drys to give it a blended in look. Most fast-drying concrete sets up in about a hour, so work fast.

You can mix it on a sheet of plywood with a shovel right there or do it in a wheel barrel or even in smaller batches in a 5-gallon bucket.

Do when you know it will have at least a few hours to cure until the idiot drives on it.

There's a pseudo-church up the alley...

Pseudo-church?

sudo chmod -R 755 church

Sketchy in this case means he thinks he is a thug, never wears a shirt, often drinks outside in the driveway with his thuggy friends, drives 100mph through the alley, and lives in the seediest apartments on Earth.

Is this him?

Most landscape places around here that sell them will cut them for you if you buy them. If not, a drill and sawzall should do the trick (drill pilot holes along the path of the cut and at the angle you want to cut and use the sawzall to work it small sections at a time between the pilot holes).

Sounds like too much work.... I'd just put the whole tie into a hole that's dug so that the railroad tie slanted down.

No need to pour concrete. Just line up sacks of Maximizer, wet (water-hose) them down overnight and you have your curb/step.

[Osage Orange]

I can't imagine...your car is getting out of alignment because of what you have described.

Are you serious?

[Osage Orange]

Never?

Drinks water?

100 mph???? Come on!!

On Earth???

You've never been to Tijuana!

[Osage Orange]

Okay....so now I understand.

Good luck.............

There’s a minicurb under the main one that’s uneven and broken away, which is why they added the gravel.

1) Get approval from the landlord to remove the curb.

2) Go to the local home improvement store and buy a big sledge hammer.

3) Offer said sketchy neighbor a pizza of his choice and a six-pack of his choice to knock the curb out of the way.

Win-Win!

Well that right there is your problem. You need some strong male friends.

Sounds like you need a gun. Seriously though this is pretty easy. You need to mix the water and Quickcrete together, a hoe is easier than a shovel if you use the dump it all on the ground method. If you have a wheelbarrow you can mix it in that with a shovel like you would mix cake batter in a bowl with a spatula. Cement is the batter, concrete is the cake. You want a pretty smooth batte,r not to runny but definitely not grainy. A couple of pieces of rebar set up on rocks or wood blocks about 3-4 inches from the ground sounds like about right for what you are doing. The rebar keeps the concrete from breaking up under say a jeep’s weight. THe gravel will add volume and grip if you want to mix some in. Any hardware store worth a dang will be able to give you DIY directions. Now you will have to keep vehicles off the concrete for a day or two while it cures. Good Luck on that. My guess is this particulkar problem won’t be around long given the discription you have given.

Sorry, didn't see the part about him yelling at you.

Get yourself some protection.

You playing with me right because I'm a city-boy, right? Lowes sells freaking RAILROAD TIES?????? Is that next to the aisle where they have the LOCOMOTIVES?!? ( : >)

They are used a lot for landscaping, especially if you have a house on a slope. They are also great for deck foundations.

[WOBBLY BOB]

I like Menards and Lowes. I can’t stand Home Depot.

speaking of railroad ties, my buddy’s dad has his own operating steam engine locomotive about 30 miles north of me.

I was ‘workin on the railroad’ when I was a yute.
