Should be a lot easier to put the boat away now that the apron has also been extended. I would have to back up the boat sideways at first because the trailer would hit the driveway since there is an incline and then I would have to straighten the trailer out going back and forth so my front left wheel on the tow vehicle would not hit the curb. When this happened the back wheels would then be spinning digging itself and throwing rocks all over the place trying to get the front wheel over the curb. Now I should be able to get the boat in with just one try. I would hate having to do all that cause I was always in a hurry because my street is kind of busy with traffic most of the time. Here is a before and after pic.
Thanks Zach at Samons for the great work and price.

Looks nice Juan. Do you have to get permits for the street work.

Yes, but Zach took care of that for me. The city would also not let him pour in that two foot section you see missing, don't know why, but I am going to get some cement pavers to put in there. He said that city would not have any problem with that since they are removable.

Is your water meter over there. We had to the same on my driveway.

Wired how they wouldn't let you pour that one little section but there probably is some sort of utility underground there causing an easement on the plans...Chances are if you wait for a few months you can mix 5 bags of concrete and put it in there without ever needing to adjust anything in the future...

No, it is on the other side, that is why we thought that was wierd.

Yeah, he said some people wait for a year and do that exact thing.

Good job Juan:D I had those horrible rolled curbs in front of the driveway and wanted them to be removed and blended in with the street level as it was cracking my trailer welds. The city wanted complete plot plans and all to issue a permit, somehow it got poured without a permit. The city is totally unreasonable when it comes to certain things:( NSF

Go for it, but watch out for my cross the street neighbors, they call me any time there is a vehicle parked on my driveway. They take plates down and call the cops if I tell them I don't recognize them.:D

Thanks for the compliments guys, but Zach is the one who made it look good. I am just trying to fix up the house little by little with out getting into any loans. If this makes it easier to put the boat away, I think I will retile the house before extending the garage.

you can't pour in the 5' set back of the city portion, (area is used for plat mapping....radius pins and so on)...where it picks up again is your actual property line.... s/b 25' from your garage;)

You could have gotten your boat in the back yard before, that was easier then putting it in the garage. I some times put my boat back there when I am going to use it the next day. Plus, I have offered before and know you are always welcome to put it back there.

Now that the permitted job is done, I would pour that 5' section quicker than shit. If the city ever needs to access that section, it could always be torn out. Just do it.
