Driveway update

Talked to two driveway guys recommended by the Barrett's quarry (maybe I should call Virkler again), and one is getting me a price today. They both know I am going to be up there at Halloween getting rid of some brush piled up in the way on the driveway, so probably not rushing. I hope one of them has a good price so I don't get stuck with this task.

Rob Andrews suggested using driveway stabilization fabric ($350/roll - quan?) to allow water to run under the gravel without washing it out. Sounds like a good idea, and hope it works. He also said it keeps stone from sinking into any earth at the bottom, which sounds a little more dubious to me, but maybe so. He is still thinking about his price as he wants to use a bulldozer and roller (on that hill? I asked), and might not get to it till spring (crap). He also suggested digging out more at the base, plus push piled up wood and brush (hmm, he said stumps?) out of the way at the top and putting some river run stone as fill up there to level. Maybe so. Bill Lee, the other Barrett quarry recommended local contractor, will look at the site today and call me tonight with a price. Hoping he can move sooner, as this needs to get done before deliveries take place.
