Lake Havasu City, How stupid ???????

[Not So Fast]

If you have a house here and your street is or has been "SEALED" (doing it all over town) as they call it, then be prepared fpr your driveway and garage to have the black crap tracked all over it and it does not come off :mad: We have even tried a power washer with no success. This "SEALER" is just sprayed on with no broadcast of sand to make it not stick to your tires AND THEY DO IT JUST AS IT GETS HOT so who knows how long it will take to set up :confused: I didn't pull in for the required 2 days and on the third it still had sticky spots everywhere, bastards :mad: So if you like a clean driveway and garage (I cant imagine having a nice epoxy floor and what it would do to it) dont drive in for who knows how long. Oh yeah, and when my neighbor called about this problem the assbite told him to "Go ahead and sue the city" what a great response. Bunch of backwoods, inbred MF'ers, Im friggin pissed but what recourse do you have???? Rant over, peace :( NSF

Is there a schedule or any warning? I would hate to pull up in the middle of the night and not be able to pull into my driveway or garage and have to carry everything from around the corner. And even worse. Drive 3 and a half hours to go boating for the weekend and have my boat held captive in the garage.

That spray seal sucks ass........ when it gets hot out it will get even sticker and will be tracked all in you house and any were you walk
the only way to get it off is with gas or diesel and a scraper and good luck.....

A schedule in Havasu, is like asking for a schedule in Mexico :rollside:

bobby,
WD-40 breaks it up,
gas + tide + broom followed by hose down will leave your drive way sparkling clean :)

Yes they do give you a "Sort of schedule" but sketchy at best. Then they do all sorts of creative patches here and there and nicely enough do 1/2 the street the first time around then it gets like a maze to drive thru. I know how difficult it is to route traffic (done a lot of paving) but why in the world do they wait until the heat is upon us, as another HB'er said it will be sticky forever with the heat. They could also broadcast sand on the fresh oil or sealer to help out the curing process but not in this backwoods city, hell no. :mad: Anyway if it looks like your street has just been done "BEWARE" especially if you are putting your boat away and do not have a straight shot, if you have to turn your wheels then it just grinds it in worse. My neighbor put his boat away 2 days after the "SEALER" was sprayed and his driveway looks bad, he's pissed as he should be. Thanks Karl for the advice but a power washer failed to do it!!!!!!!!! Peace NSF

[Mr.Havasu]

My thoughts exactly. Why couldn't they do it during the winter so it would cure in the 2 days. It's going to be a mess all summer.
Between the sewer project having half the streets tore up and the seal on the other half our new car doesn't stand a chance. :mad:

[djunkie]

Thats wierd. They poored sand on my street afterwards. Looks real nice and leaves no marks in my driveway.

[wetterwith3]

that was my thought, pour sand or dirt all over the area

[robk]

They're doing the same thing in Brea right now. No schedule that I've seen, either. Makes it fun to get home after a nice 2 hour drive in traffic and try to figure out which streets are closed. Not to mention all of those cool black tire tracks in the driveway.

Every job that is being done does has some sort of schedule to it, if it inconvinience to home owners or traffic a notice must be handed out at least 72 hrs prior... especially for street closures and major construction... IMO they are focking idiot for pooring slurry coat (is what we call it) in the begining of summer that should be a winter project... :rolleyes:
But yes some petro or wd-40 and some soap will get that right off of cement and if they fine you for contamints down the storm drain tell them to mail you the ticket its not expensive hahaha
