You may see nothing wrong with this blacktop patch. Trust me, it's a botch job and it was the WRONG WAY to repair what was wrong.
Here's David's email to me:
"I had a bad section of
concrete by the junction of my garage and driveway where the weather, rain, cold, etc had cracked a portion of it maybe two feet wide.
It finally chipped away nearly down to the ground. Got some guys I'd used for other projects to come out and fix it.
I assumed they were going to use concrete so didn't watch. When they were done this is what they did.
They assured me I could back out of the driveway after they left. I did the next day and got tar and little
rocks all on my tires which transferred to 'the inside of the garage, got on my feet and consequently would have made it inside on the carpet had I not seen it.
I thought of taking a shovel and just scraping it up as it has not cured like they said three days later and still tacky. It looks awful, in my opinion.
Suggestions are certainly appreciated.
BTW-that section they poured the asphalt over was NOT asphalt-it was concrete"
What went wrong? Where did David make his mistake?
- He failed to specify exactly what he wanted
- He failed
to invest the needed time to research the best repair method for the longest-lasting result
- He HOPED everything would work out
You hope for things you can't control like the weather and being rescued from a deserted island.
When it
comes to your hard-earned money being spent wisely, it's your job to discover the BEST thing you can get for your money.
It's never been easier. Decades ago you'd have to go to the library. Now information is available via your smart phone, tablet or computer.
You JUST NEED to really do your due diligence because there's LOTS OF BAD INFORMATION out there about
how to do home repairs.

Meghan's New Jewelry
A week ago I shared with you a story about my oldest daughter Meghan. If you're a new or newer subscriber you may not know about
her.
CLICK HERE to read that story and look at the hand drawing to appreciate what
you're about to see.
But if you're a seasoned subscriber, you know her. I've talked about her journey for well over a decade.
Meghan and her husband Brent have finally latched onto something special. Brent's been out in Silicon Valley in CA for the past three years making a huge splash and he's doing quite well with a huge start up.
But behind the scenes for the past five years, Meghan has been putting all her effort into a new custom jewelry business I feel is going to go
to the Moon.
So far she's come up with twelve different pieces that fit most budgets if you're looking at high-quality jewelry.
This is NOT costume jewelry that you find at a big box store.
This is high-end jewelry that will become heirlooms, possibly in your family.
Take a look at these photos and CLICK THEM to go to that exact page. Remember, there are twelve different things you can see at Meghan's website and there are different types of gold, chains, etc. I'm not a jewelry expert so I suggest you spend TIME THERE looking around and seeing all the options.
You can even CALL Meghan if you have a question or need help. How many jewelry designers offer that service???
