Buck531 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 On rock salt do you have to put it on and as soon as it starts melting to brush it off or move it? That's why it eats the concrete. At least that's what I thought I read on the bag I had a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Sweet, I'll have to check it out, I'm assuming Lowes will carry it? And maybe OT but since you seem to know a thing or two about concrete, is there anyway to reverse the deterioration? Like stop it from getting worse?

Twistedrx7 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 just dont use it on concrete or pavers, asphalt is fine. no need to brush it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time machine? lol, im not sure, Sam however might. Not sure on lowes i would assume so. It is a little pricey though. We get ours by the semi load.

copperhead Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I wouldn't shovel it at all, except sometimes my neighbor plows every driveway on the street with his atv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 sounds like me at my old apartment complex. their snow removal policy was "wait for it to melt". A truck comes in and clears out the 'roads', that's it. They don't even do a good job of it. They do put out 5 gal things of salt (or maybe not salt from what Twisted RX7 said) on each persons front porch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I think I'll shovel tonight in prep for Thursday. It will be my way of working off the fat lunch I'm having today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicktcfcsb Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I dont even step on the deck or driveway untill the leaf blower has made it 100% clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I use to shovel it every snow fall, but now I have symmetrical AWD and my Scooby has no problem making it up the driveway with 2-3 inches of snow. I just shovel a little walk way from my front door to the car so I don’t get a bunch of snow in it and I’m good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 normally will shovel it to the street haven't this last snow fall as I am waiting to se what Thrus brings but I will clear the steps up to my front door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bruh Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 i shovel the front porch and concrete entry way, around the car and thats it (only because we have a 2yr old a 9mo old so I don't want them or my g.f to slip and bust their ass. the rest of my drive way is all snow.

zeitgeist57 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I received a free snowblower from my brother-in-law, but I still haven't done my driveway yet this season. Last year, I would shovel religiously (I bent a metal shovel and broke 2 plastic ones) and all I got for it was the top sealcoat all chopped up. Looking at weather.com, I don't know if tomorrow night is going to be enough to justify firing it up or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I have a long, gravel driveway. I don't shovel anything unless we get a crap ton of snow. Even then, I've been known to shovel the whole thing myself because I'm so bad ass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 AWD car. 4WD truck. We drive over that shit. I do run the shovel down the sidewalk to the front door, but that only take a couple of minutes. It would take me forever to shovel the whole damn driveway, and I don't have the cash this season to be buying a damn snow blower. Maybe next year, if I decide we don't like just driving over the damn snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I finally got motivated and shoveled mine last night when I got home. I was tired of walking through the mounds of snow to get to the Jeep or the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I keep saying I am going to make a hood for my salamandor angling the heat straight down so I can just wheel it up and dow the concrete but I havent yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and you need to salt your sidewalk so I don't fall when peeping into your house... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
