Warren,
At my age I would just skip the crown and implants and buy gas. Fortunately my last crown was free instead of the $750 he normally charges. The owner of the Dental Labs that my dentist uses told Doug that he was going to make the crown free and he should put it in free, so I lucked out.
Well the drive way is finally in. Now I have to raise my gates about an inch. That old one had no base at all in it and Jerry put in several loads of base and rolled it down until it quit sinking and was packed hard. hen he put from 3" to about 1 1/2 inch of asphalt on top and rolled it. Now I have to wait a day or so to use it as the heat is keeping it hot and I can park in the upper driveway until it gets completely cooled down. But I think I can raise the gates by myself. If not I will call the fence company and have them send a man out to help as they are 16' long and it may be hard to hold the side by the post and raise it while keeping the far end from moving.
