A house I did this morning had a strange detail on the driveway. Envision the driveway sectioned in 1/3rds, (lengthwise, from street to garage), then sectioned down the middle (width) on the sections closest to the garage and the middle section. The section closest to the road was sectioned on an offset like a 1/3 and 2/3 of width. I was curious why the section closest to the street didnt have the expansion joint in the center of the driveway like the middle section and section closest to the garage.
In case I didnt explain correctly (forgot to take a photo of it). Maybe this will help.
Length of driveway from street to attached garage is 60'. The 60' consists of 3 setions, each 20' long. There is an expansion joint in the center of the driveway (12' width, expansion joint at 6') on the middle section and the section closest to the attached garage. The final 20' length of driveway closest to the road had the expansion joint set at 4' of 12' or offset.
Can anyone explain why the expansion joint wasnt down the middle of the driveway all the way down the length of the driveway? I noticed the same detail on other homes in the subdivision, but most of the homes all had the expansion joint down the center throughout the entire length.
Clear as mud? Now whos on third?
