Great thread to follow. Congrats on the union.

Still in Roseville? PM me with property details if so. My whole family relocated up there and may be looking at some fixers with land (1-2 acres), mainly for a shop LOL..

I used the Rustoleum (1st phase was beige 11 years, then went grey right over the top, 3 years ago) holds up fine on these hot Livermore days after thrashing these cars with the tires coming back boiling.

Also, what are you going to use for a driveway?, i've seen some driveways with grass through some sort of cinder block, looks great and mowable, my thought is u cant use everyday, but looks very "backyardy"

Anyways, cheers, mike

Thanks for the congratulations guys. I'm a very lucky man.

We moved to Orangevale and are much happier here. Hard to find land in Roseville anymore unless you want to pay some mega money. Orangevale is about the last hold out for land in the North area without paying millions. There are four hot rods on my street and my direct neighbor across the street restores army Jeeps. Pretty cool

As far as the terra solution, I'm just not sure. I'd like to put down pavers but they're just huge money. Gravel is a no go due to the sticky tire issues and it'll wash out due to the angle of approach I have to deal with. For now it'll be grass. I'm gonna sell my '29 and my El Camino to build the Fairlane so there won't. E much traffic on it for a couple years.

Look for the guys doing pavers on the new homes. They paver a model homes entire front yard for people to pull in. They then remove them when they sell the model and they keep the used pavers. I had them do my 9K sq. ft. drive and lot at the shop and it was cheaper than concrete. All used pavers, so don't all match:

Man those look so awesome. I love pavers. Their strong, modular, and clean looking. Great insight on the model home deal. I never knew they ripped em out.
