The stress got to me in the end.... after 20 years, I hung up my Chain of Office as it weighed me down...

Most went out in the last cold winter snap last year!How much did you stockpile after 20 years…?!
If you get some can I come and pinch a bucket full (hand bucket!) please. the north facing ramp up to my house is lethal and I was using Maldon sea salt out of the salt grinder on it yesterday like a mad posh lunatic.We now have a lot of tenants using our yard and the last two mornings have made me realise just how dangerous our concrete yard is when we have freezing conditions.
I need to buy some road salt as used by the council. Apart from a night time journey with the JCB where can I buy this? 1 or 2 tonnes would be plenty.

Too long a ramp for pee reservescant you just pee on it Adam?
It will really eat into your concrete (salt anyway) unless you have concrete with an air entraining agent in it.
I did a couple of hanfuls of salt back in the 80's in a crescent outside our feed store, the concrete is now quite eaten away there, once it gets started the water sits in it and makes it worse with every freeze thaw.
Grit or sharp sand is what I use now.
Not sure how it works .How does the air entraining agent stop it eating it away please?

Get white salt as it is A lot cleaner and a small amount goes a long way cutting through packed snow and iceWe now have a lot of tenants using our yard and the last two mornings have made me realise just how dangerous our concrete yard is when we have freezing conditions.
