Jay with Denali Dirt Works called, said he was down looking at the cut, and talking to neighbor Brendan. His impression is that we have a very big hole to fill. He said that he is “no expert” on estimating fill volume, but thinks that 50 truck loads would be a minimum! He thinks we should try to contact everyone who is pulling stumps, and figure a way to dump them on our slope. When there is enough fill, it can be covered with a “geotextile” fabric, and then several feet of topping gravel spread on top of that. He has done this several times, and although you have to expect some settling, it generally works pretty well. Jay said he just completed a road down to the ocean out at the last place before Porcupine campground, where he covered muck fill from the beach with fabric, then gravel, and he was able to drive dumptrucks on it. I am skeptical, told him that, and he recommended that I talk it over with Tommy again, see what he thinks. Jay also said that Brendan was shocked when he got the estimate for the work on the 700’ of driveway he has planned; and that his competitor Mel has just put a simple driveway into lot 3 today.
