I want to do my driveway but I’ve got one or two spots that dip a bit (I assume it’s where Kevin parked his heavy work van over the years).I've always used this stuff. Lasts a solid 2 years and has good coverage. Goes on sale for about $39.99 frequently.General PDP Template
Not sure I can patch it or need to do the whole driveway at once.

Pulled a favor from someone who has connections.
Mascore Helical piles helped me out and got it done right away. Much better than Pylex. Overkill yes. Better is always better.

I dunno what you are building, but from what you said I get the impression if a tornado came through this would be the only thing standing.Pulled a favor from someone who has connections.

Awesome. Did your buddy tell you what the rough market rate was for them? I assume more than concrete as they are fast, easy and awesome. How big were the helical disks?Pulled a favor from someone who has connections.

Borrowed an electric dethatcher from a neighbour. Much faster and more effective than raking (I went over the patch where I had raked and it brought up a lot). It was a homeworks and definitely home-gamer quality. I doubt it would last through an entire week of use but most people only use it a few hours a year. Then had to go over lawn with mower to pick up lifted thatch. 15 bags of dead grass later it still looks marginal but I'm calling it done.
Wow awesome! And here my neighbour is digging post holes by hand like a sucker. He’s 3ft in.Pulled a favor from someone who has connections.

A teen rented one and was going around my brother's neighborhood making a few bucks.
Dethatched the internet from my brother's house.
I notice that the Fibe cable here is also very shallow. Just something to keep in mind.
My fiber is reasonably deep. Still have the scar from where they put it in.
For the kids making money, the aerator is probably the way to go. A lot faster than dethatching (and nothing to pick up). If you hit sprinklers, that's ok as you will be long gone before people realize.
Might have been an aerator.
I have an old rusty hand dethatcher, that looks like a medieval torture device:
Mine is very shallow in spots:

I did the cardio workout with a rake for round one. I haven't tried the lawn furminator. Mentally working through a better version of the electric unit. I want some articulation to better follow contours and wider. I figure 21" wide in three segments will probably work well. Need to source some springs as I don't feel like winding my own. Probably power the spool with an old saw or drill. Is it sacrilege or admirable to use a made in canada circular saw as the power source?Might have been an aerator.

Would have cost about $2200 plus tax. Techno post quoted me $3700. Think that was a (we are too busy, go away) price.
Think 2 1/2" pipe, 8" disk. Didn't measure. Good for 10000lbs each. Should be ok. lol.

I stood and watched. Took about 5 - 7 min each. No mess.

Not a whole lot today. Work got rained out fully. And we were rocking it this week too.
I thought polaks were tough?
We are...but I'm not a fan of running electricity in the rain to power tools or having us climbing up and down wet scaffolding.
