Dr Forinor 0 Posted June 24, 2006 I always sh!t myself everytime I go up my driveway, I've scraped a few times and this time I thought I'd actually get out and see how close it really is. I couldnt get my finger underneath there... and that's a pound coin at the corner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 24, 2006 mine scrapes every time i pull out of the drive. i just have to ignore the noise. not quite as bad if i go out backwards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted June 24, 2006 Shouldn't cost much to level it out a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Forinor 0 Posted June 24, 2006 Shouldn't cost much to level it out a bit. Any ideas how much this kinda thing roughly costs? Do you want a picture of the dip? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted June 24, 2006 Depends if you need to drop a curb. Could just concrete a little ramp yourself. Get a pic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Forinor 0 Posted June 24, 2006 The only thing is the drain, that will probably have to be raised and consequently the neighbour's side raised too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 24, 2006 be careful doing anything without permission mate - that belongs to highways as soon as you're past your gate. saying that, in my job i've dug up the highway/footpath a couple of times when its been necessary and i've forgotten to get a permit, and as long as you put it back neatly chances are no one will even notice :) i reckon you could get dodgy dave tarmac man down to reprofile that for 50 quid btw. 10 minute job. any caravan sites near you? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 24, 2006 i reckon you could work round the drain as well. its quite raised so you've got quite a few cm's to play with, and you can shape it down towards the drain cover anyway. its where the dropped kerbs have sunk around the drain. pull em up, bit of tarmac, put em back. sorted. i reckon you could feasibly go to the council and ask them to do it. they should be maintaining it. get a pic of someone's mashed front splitter and say you did it on your drive.

Chris VR6nos 0 Posted June 24, 2006 That's a monster kurb you got there! :lol: Use a piece of plyboard, that should be enough to life it a few mm Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jazzdevil 0 Posted June 25, 2006 proper close!! i had a slightly worse experience recently when i started renting a garage to store the C in while i was out of the country... never gave a thought to the fact that when you drive in it's fine, but on the way out it'd be "splittin' time"... wonder if i could get away with advertising the gully off the kerb as a local landfill?? :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like that idea, I'll try a little something-something. Thanks :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
