Unpopular opinion: Grader experience fixes driveway dips better

I keep noticing operators using their job skills on personal property work. It started when I had a nasty dip in my home driveway. After a week on the motor grader, I just knew how to smooth it out by hand. The feel for grade and slope transferred right over. Maybe we should share more of these crossover tips.

Might as well repave the whole neighborhood while you're at it.

Why so serious about a little dip?

Actually seems like a smart use of skills to me. That feel for the work is hard to get without the practice. Makes the home fix way better than just guessing.
