Maybe instead of doing the whole driveway, only do where the tires track. Back in the day, some driveways had grass in the middle...got a friend living in an older part of town, house built in 40s, his driveway is like this...It's doing a great job but like @Coal_Cracker I too wondered about the cost vs. benefit.....so you can walk around in or drive around OK in your driveway but if you go to drive anywhere on the roadways you're still subject to all the same issues as before.
Yes, there's still plenty of older houses in the upscale parts of Atlanta from the 30's and 40's like that. The old cars dripped more oil in those days and there was no concrete to be dripped on! Most homes there were heated with coal and the chute to the basement near the furnace was accessible on the side of the house and the trucks delivering the coal were particularly dripping oil and dropping coal dust, mostly in the grass (as told to me circa 1960 by my late grandfather).Maybe instead of doing the whole driveway, only do where the tires track.

I think the point is to avoid shoveling the snow more than it is in an effort to travel somewhere.It's doing a great job but like @Coal_Cracker I too wondered about the cost vs. benefit.....so you can walk around in or drive around OK in your driveway but if you go to drive anywhere on the roadways you're still subject to all the same issues as before.
Oh, I get that....but if I CAN'T go anywhere once I get out of the driveway, I AIN"T gonna shovel it anyway!I think the point is to avoid shoveling the snow more than it is in an effort to travel somewhere.
Welcome @CDeckerFunny how the internet brings us all together! This is my install and video! Not sure if any of you saw my more recent video on the blizzard, but the window in front of my GoPro kept getting snowed over. I had a subscriber reach out who recommended a Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2 IP cam mounted externally instead, due to its good low light capabilities. I'd be curious the thoughts of this group. If anyone has any questions about the driveway or the install, just ask!
