About once a year, I have a company come in and oil the road to keep dust down. Unfortunately, California regulations are so messed up, I have to use a county approved commercial operator to do that. That is the bulk of the cost now.
It would be less if I had my family participate. The first 3/4 mile is their property. But I count that as repayment for them having to put up with me until they could legally send me packing.
