Ah, I had a feeling you would understand the struggle! I tried to explain to our new import about how our silt land loves to eat rock and what it would take to build a non-disappearing driveway/parking pads. He kinda glazed over, so I think more excitement shall present itself in the future lol!
In the meantime, I keep saving money for loads of rock, the hubs grades the road, creates ditches, and we raise the roadbed above grade a bit at a time...always thinking maybe in a couple years...
Hope you had a great weekend and that darn brain fog abated a bit!
