How come men have to put up signs when they work, and women just do it?

Men don't care to be run over?[]

You have to go a little deeper into it Joe,just say it,ohhh ok I will.

I'll tell you..... that if you guys put all the bricks back in, and didnt water the hole real well , that asphalt is gonna drop like a 10 ton brick next winter. Better monitor that hole closely in the winter season guys, especially since it is in an active parking lot. Best to always use concrete and rebar for the repairs (you can dye or paint it black to match asphal)t. It is much stronger, and when the backfill settles, your patch wont.
If you dont compact the asphalt digs properly, it can come back and haunt all the diggers in the area in a real bad way. Just some sound advice from someone who's done 100's of tech privy digs.

We also use reinforced concrete in the top of the pits then pack all the layers of old asphalt back in then a skim of new asphalt on the top couple inches so it looks good.

Chris WHAT SIZE REBAR DO YOU USE???

I think I would have brought the bricks home, but I see what you mean, Chris, about having to bring in dirt to fill in the hole. ~Mike

Hey Cal - wanna sell a truck load of bricks for me?

I can get cleaned hard brick by the pallet for $0.30 or less and soft brick like in the pics for about half that.

I believe we could haul 8000 per load.

2200 miles = $4400

So... 8000 bricks at $1 = $8000 - $2400 (brick cost) - $4400 (trucking) = $1200 profit.

Yeah. I could probably put a few loads together.
