Today was the day to spread gravel on the driveways surrounding the cottage. The driveways encircle the house mostly to support easy movement of vehicles around the place, but they are also recommended by the forest service as a fire break should the worst happen.
We rented a Kioti CK35 4WD tractor with a loader on the front and a box blade on the back to assist with moving and spreading gravel. We ended up with four loads of gravel and just about got all of them spread in one day.
The gravel truck driver did a great job of dropping the gravel in confined spaces and the Kioti was the right size for moving it around and leveling.
Julie used the ATV and a homemade pallet spreader to do the final leveling.
While we have the tractor we are doing some other chores such as moving firewood and rocks for the retaining walls.
