How can people in two separate houses worth over a million dollars let the condition of their road stay like this? Any day now I’ll be bottoming out driving on it. I’m wondering if the owner of the older house is refusing to help pay because the construction vehicles for the new house probably did all the damage.

I share a private road with 3 other neighbors and it has all worked out well as far as maintaining it goes. We all chip in to have more class 5 added about every 7 or 8 years (2 or 3 hundred apiece) and we take turns snow plowing, mowing the ditches and running a leveling drag on it. I'm sure somewhere along the line it could be a problem if some bad neighbor would move in but for now all is good. If I won the lottery I would have it paved.

At first my uncle had his oil and chipped. That lasted maybe 3 years before he got it paved.

His problem was it’s on a hill where a lot of water flows. Could have saved himself a lot of hassle by digging ditches along the outside to give the water somewhere to go.
