But I see you're in Canada ... you know that in the winter you can NOT use salt to melt ice. The artisan who did our work even said salt / deicers marked "safe" for concrete should not be used. He recommended that only sand is safe. Also insisted than any snow plow / snow blower work should be done with rubber NOT steel blades. Makes me wish sometimes I lived in Southern California!

BTW - nice car!

I have a couple coats of sealer over the driveway which will help it stand up to the elements more. I've never used salt or anything on my driveways, but my pool is salt and its a pain having to wash off the concrete all the time! Where I live they dont even use salt on the roads, just sand; bloody mess in the spring!

I'm pretty bad at shoveling, I never see cement in the winter. Good thing I have an XI lol

Yup they are VB3's, 19x8.5 and 19x10 on a XI. I think I want to paint them gunmetal or black chrome for next year.

At first I thought this was a picture of a pool. Then I saw that you are in Winnapeg, and I realized that must be a picture of your ice skating rink before your late summer freeze.
