Culverts

Larry Harmon called, said he will have Robbie build his driveway.  Larry had not heard about the need for a driveway permit, he’s reluctant to conform to the 30’ culvert requirement.  Larry said he is taking his trailer out to Hope again tomorrow, and offered to haul our culvert out there from Metco for us.  After he talked to Robbie, he asked for the Borough permit number, is starting that process.  Larry said he already has a 8’ X 16’ cabin with a 4’ deck dried-in on his lot!

Harold priced the culvert at Metco:  $400/20’; $40 for the coupler; $40 for end funnels if we want.  $720!  They have 14” X 20’ in black plastic for about $280, so maybe under $500 total.

Robbie said today that he should have the excavator on site by this Friday!!  I told him I wanted to be there at the first cut, he said he works better by himself, but he was mostly kidding.  I gotta get those stumps cut.  
I asked Robbie how many more driveway jobs I would have to line up for him before we got a free one; he laughed and said “a few more”.  HF

Robbie said there is a well-drilling rig in place over on Branden’s lot 9, so we should soon know what his drill depth turned out to be.  He doesn’t yet know what outfit is it, or where they are from.

Harold called Paul Voeller at the Borough ( 714-2212) regarding the survey pin; had to leave a message.

*later Larry said that 30’ of steel culvert and a coupler at Metco cost him $606.  If they charge us more, he will cover ours until we pay him.  He will take the culverts out on his trailer on Friday.

Note:  It’s raining heavily; there is a flood advisory in effect, thru Thursday.  Not the best weather to dig a road.
