Driveway Patch

The pot hole left on the edge of the driveway, by the big dumpster, in the very first week of the project, was repaired with Asphalt Cold Patch material. 3 50-lb bags were hauled in from Home Depot and the instructions we found online were followed. It seems to work just fine so far. The other day we noticed that some city workers were also repairing the road with this kind of material, by pouring bags of asphalt into a recessed area without the usual asphalt heating vehicle on the side. BTW, a contractor can probably do a much better job in this case, but the repair alone is too small a job. The cost to repair and resurface the whole driveway is at least $1K in our case (vs. the cost of cold patch material, $14.99*3).
