OMG you have a LOT of work plotted out for me! I need to get the rocks trucks that travel in front of the house to drop off a load a month and we'd be set! I would be happy to feed them. We've often talked about asking the TX Dot mowers to take lunch here and let us borrow their tractor for an hour or so. I could have most of the front cut down in no time!
We've thought of concreting. That would be nice. Anything solid would be nice.
I thought today that I could just hook Buddy (he's the pit we rescued June 1) up and he can pull us out! Kevin gave him a rope (think something to hold a tanker ship) which he tied to his F250 hitch. Buddy can shake the truck. Kevin stood on the rope and Buddy moved him! Today I stood on the rope, using Sadie (Lab we rescued Thanksgiving '06) as a balance, Buddy drug me about 5' across the yard! So if one dog can move 200lbs (Kevin NOT me!) I'd need 2x as many dogs as I have right now. Oh well, it was an idea! I think Buddy could move more than 200lbs though.
Got good friends who work at the Irwindale / Azusa rock crushing & gravel pits. I can probably get you some free truck loads, but you would have to pay freightage, or bring a truck down and haul it back. Alternatively, you can do it a bag or two at a time. Good exercise, spread the cost out, and so on. Hey, here is a better thought - I once put in a 3" x 15 foot cement pad for a tetherball court by hand. You could section off six foot runs and create a concrete driveway. Might take a few years, but think of the pride you would have in driving up yo your doorstep.
