Most of youse know the issues I've had getting the bike(s) into/out of my garage....and at times falling over into one of the cars and such. I finally decided to do something to make it easier, and make the driveway a little wider, so I can move the cars farther apart, and ride up in between the cars on the driveway, instead of going around them in the yard.
I've had a bunch of cement blocks/pavers forever, and that's what I used. I laid them out on the grass, spray painted a line down them on the grass, and then dug out a "trench" for the pavers. I had a few pavers that were about twice as thick as the rest, and I used those in the two spots where the truck tires would be parked, to support the weight. Took me most of the day yesterday, and aboot 3 hours or so today to finish. It got too dang hot yesterday to finish.... :heat:
It ain't pretty, but it will do the job. Now I can ride the bike(s) both into and out of the garage and not have to worry about mud, or wet grass....or fallin into the cars. :yahoo:
Now if I can just get the neighbor's lawn service idjits to quit mowing MY yard..... :rant:
