Ctrl Salt Delete is so good lol
Just got a new driveway. No salt for a year.
1-3" here in panhandle texas tomorrow.... these mfers cant drive when its 90 and sunny
Stay away from this product called safe-walk even after a year. It ate our driveway up and it was 3 years old.
I just built a new house a year ago and the guy who did our maintenance walkthrough of the house was adamant that we not use salt on our driveway or it would destroy it over time. I wasn't aware salt was that tough on driveways.
Salt is tough no matter when but it takes one year for a complete cure. Under one year it will eat it fast. After one year, you can use it but you need to clear it off once it does its job (talking spreading it and then grabbing a cup of coffee and then clearing it off) or it will pit it. Safe walk did it even with the clearing. It’s hard to clear because it’s more powdery than most. They claim they don’t pit, but it’s BS.
It 'helps' speed up buckling/heaving; by letting more water (melted snow) get underneath the concrete. I was told once by a concrete guy to avoid salt on your drive/walk if at all possible.
Soon after the last chance of freezing, where ever you spread the salt get a solution 50/50 of water and ammonia and spray it down. Just takes a pressure sprayer. One you would use to get weeds in the lawn. Ammonia neutralizes the salts.
Looks like everyone will get a shot at some light snow tonight and tomorrow.

Wife must be upset about the snow. Told her we were getting snow. She just said okay. Mentioned we are getting 1-3 inches tonight and she just replied, I don’t feel really well and my head kinda hurts. I’m the one who moves snow, not sure why it bothers her.
Let’s start making ice for ice fishing early!
