Re: Somethings wrong with my new driveway!

i bet mowing the grass is fun too. i hope nobody would have bought those houses are looking at them. it looks like they bought a lot and built a house and that is what they got.

Makes you wonder if perhaps it is in a flood plain, and that was the only way they were permitted to build...

Are you kidding me? They expect you to have a slope that strong? Unfortunately it looks like the garage is simply too close to the street..... Someone screwed up royally.

The only thing I can think of is dig the garage down deep and have steps inside the garage up into the house.

With that grade, getting vehicles in and out of the garage *safely* will be a real pain.

I think it would be impossible to get my Honda or Taurus in or out of the garage without major undercarriage damage.

I sure would have liked to watch them pour that driveway. Got to be photoshopped.

It is not an issue even when poured in place, whihc that has to be. It is done all the time. Just use a concrete mix that is a little stiffer than usual and start at the top. (otherwise it will slide down into the rest of what is there)

If this is real, where is the photo of the completed project? This photo is over 3 years old. Someone by now must have snapped one. Or maybe even a street name. We could possibly use google street view.

Here's a starting point if you want to try to find it with street view, »www.kogarah.nsw.gov.au/www/html/···tion.asp.

Good luck.

There are at least four driveways at least as steep as those in my neighborhood, and plenty in the city. They aren't a problem, even in winter, as long as you take care of the ice.

Re: Somethings wrong with my new driveway!

The only problem I have is getting a car on that driveway. You need to have oversized truck.
Why couldn't they just level closer to ground, or just dig in for garage?

I bet they want to mow the grass but they can't get the mower up the driveway.

The realtor says, "this house has its garage in the second floor. To park your car, simply launch your car over that slab over there. Simple."

I zoomed in and saw that the so called photograph is in fact made up of a large number of pixels. In my expert opinion this means it has been photoshopped.

I too noticed mipmap interpolation in sector 7, clearly indicating the photo had been photoshopped.
