The public works department will be taking over inspections on residential concrete in the city right-of-way. For more information on KCMMB specifications and a list of approved suppliers log on to: <a href="http://kcmmb.org/">www.kcmmb.org</a> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9913008-110477812052046459?l=bazzaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bazzarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13164780478351641669noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9913008.post-1104781221878727132005-01-03T13:24:00.000-06:002005-01-03T13:42:42.316-06:00With ice and snow forecast this week in the KC Metro. Here are some driveway tips: <br /> <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Do: Seal your driveway with a high solids sealer (25% or higher) <br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Do Not: Wait until winter to seal your driveway. The solvent in the sealer will not evaporate well in cold weather. The best time for sealing is in the fall when the temperature is in the 50's. <br /> <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Do: Clear snow off you driveway as soon as possible. The sooner your driveway dries out, the fewer freeze/thaw cycles it will have to undergo with moisture present. Freezing water exerts tremendous force on the top of your driveway. The sooner you get the snow/ice off the better. <br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Do Not: Use salt, fertilizer, calcium chloride or ice melt on your driveway. Even if the bag says it is safe for concrete DO NOT USE. If you read the contents it will probably contain one of the items listed above. <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Do: Use sand for traction on driveways/sidewalks. <br /> <br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Do Not: Park your car on you driveway and let the snow and salt that you pick up on the roadway drip on your driveway. This combination contains just the right amount of salt or calcium chloride to cause problems. </span> <br /></span></span> <br /></span></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9913008-110478122187872713?l=bazzaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bazzarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13164780478351641669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9913008.post-1104724194912452212005-01-02T21:44:00.000-06:002005-01-03T12:30:53.656-06:00Welcome!!!
