On Tuesday the guy was marking the lines for the driveway.  I let him do his s***, then notice that theres still about 2 feet of gravel on each side of the driveway.  Ive already done landscaping in the front, so this would look retarded.  Measured that space from the garage to the end of the driveway, calculalte about 95 Sq/ft of more paving to do....not much right.  Plus, no way this is fitting 2 cars.

I call and ask the builder how much to cover the extra gravel since it will save him money in the long run.  I was told that anything sticking out after, theyd send a guy to dig up and put top soil and sod.  f*** that I was trying to save this builder some money so they WOULDNT have to send somebody back again.

They want $1200 to cover the rest of the 95Sq/ft. :blink:  :blink:  :blink:

My dad went through the same s***.

Wait until they come to do your driveway.

Have a box of Submarine sandwiches and a case of beer waiting for them.

They'll do it.

Ask nice and grease the fella pouring the blacktop.

Works EVERY time.
