Shit dude. That's 4-5 heavy duty dump trunks full of gravel. Did they come in a line or did they make you wait for 5 round trips.
I wish I had a memory for such things but I vaguely remember get robbed when I had to regravel the driveway. I did have to get clean, small grade gravel, but still.
Just out of curiosity, does it actually cost anything to live up there?
That's 3 loads, around $800ish per load. They sent 1 truck alone, but then the other two came closer together as another driver became available. Thankfully there's a gravel pit right on the main road so they were about 45 minutes away.
I figure when all is said and done this will cost me around 10k. I'm hoping it's under that but I had them do a bit of extra work that originally did not anticipate. Since the ground is so rough and rocky hauling all that sand was pretty much needed to make it flat enough to drive a car on. All the sand came from the property so got lucky there. The side of the road has tons of it, probably from when they built the public road originally.
Taxes are only $100/mo since it's unorganized township, which is nice. No bylaws or permits needed or any of that BS either, and no utility bills. Hopefully that never changes. So other than that, and the initial capital costs of setting up the major infrastructure it's super cheap. I guess I might want insurance at some point, need to look into that. If anything at least for theft.
Septic is going to be the next big project especially with how rocky the ground is. I may not be able to put a traditional system. Be at least a few years before I do that though. I will want to pay this off first.
