It was and still is...maybe I need a wider driveway.


I looked on ebay for a driveway widener. Not a single one for
sale. I guess you are **** out of luck.

Look on Craigslist. Driveways are hard to ship so Ebay doesn't sell
that many.

A road widener ought to work on driveways! Donnie just needs one of these:

No problem.


When we had the driveway paved almost 2 years ago, they brought in what they called a "full sized paving machine". Had to keep insisting that they not go over onto the neighbour's property. I had marked the property line as close to the inch as I could. The little guiding side wings did let a little asphalt spill over.


Then why bring up your need of a wider driveway?


Duh...Johnny.
The machine was working at it's minimal width of about 10' 7"..which is the width from my foundation wall to the property line. Since I need about a foot to make sure I don't scrape the boat on my house side...that would give me a little over a foot and a half to get past my boat with the lawnmower, wheelbarrow, ladders etc. without scratching my boat or climbing up over the neighbour's garden boxes.
