When we first bought the property, we knew a logging road could be accessed but it was blocked by a fallen tree. After removing that tree, here are a couple of pictures of what will someday be our driveway:
After using chainsaws, a pole saw, and weedeaters to clear the path more, it became much more accessible. However, the initial hill was very steep, and the next stretch was slanted down while the car was driving along, making wet or snowy conditions dangerous. Here are the before and after views from this most recent project. Note that the after shots were all taken in wet conditions so the new driveway needs to dry out before we can spread any more rock, but you can see we put down some 3″ base rock on that first hill. So first, here is the view of the driveway from the county road:
Before and after of the next stretch, looking back towards that first hill:
Before and after of the first corner, where the driveway makes the first corner:
Before and after of the stretch of driveway after the first corner:
And finally, the before and after shot of the last stretch of driveway, leading up to the house site:
