Redoing our driveway.

[moneysense]

We have a rather long driveway with a small incline at the top and have put many tons of gravel in it over the years.

It is due to be regraveled now as we get a lot of standing water and mud again when it rains.

This time it will be easier and cheaper than other times as we now have an aggregate company within 5 miles of our house and most of my sons have pickup trucks so my soninlaw will be coming out today to begin this job.

We have so much mud right now that it is virtually impossible for more than one car to park in the driveway without someone getting muddy feet.

I will save on this job this year in 3 ways. Gasoline because it will be much closer to get the gravel, family members are doing the job, and the cost of gravel is less at the aggregate company.

Using all available resources when trying to get a larger job like this done can save you a lot of money that can be put away for other things you need to do, or for a future emergency.
