The permit is still playing hard to get. Today I went up and made an appearance at the permit desk. They said " "They will work on it tomorrow, check back Thursday". I will drive right back up there.
I took the truck so I could start clearing the driveway path by hand while I wait for a permit.
Here it is parked on the edge of the dropoff, and the center of the road is the right side of the truck as pictured. I am standing at the top of the cut, it will gradually slope down from there.
There is a farm road that crosses the proposed driveway here. It will be the balance point of the driveway. Cuts to the right under the truck and beyond, fills to the left.
My brother is coming with me on Thurdsay to cut that brush to the left in the picture above.
Gives some perspective of the dropoff.
The goal is to get the centerline staked and be able to set a laser there and do the balancing. My work laser can find the percentage of grade across a distance like that and set it for you.
I stomped the truck down about 4 times and paid the price for that, it did not want to come back out.
Thursday I will put the rack boards on it and bring Pete's trailer so I don't have to get medieval on it.
