Charlie:
Debra in Baytown says she’s from South Carolina, she just moved here. She wants to know if fiber-cement is legal to use on her garage floor and driveway, like they did back at home? I don’t think she means fiber-cement.
Podcast: Play in new window
Tom:
Fiber-cement’s a siding, you can’t use that, but you can use Fibermesh, is the way it’s referred. It’s got a mesh that runs through it. There’s no such thing as legal. In South Carolina, they probably had legal things. In Texas, it’s pretty much you do what you want.
Charlie:
That’s right.
Tom:
As long as the homeowner’s association doesn’t get mad.
Charlie:
Welcome to the Wild West.
Tom:
Fibermesh would be fine to use in a driveway, or a garage, or a slab. It’s not always necessary, but it’s used a lot in roads. A driveway is kind of a road.
Charlie:
It really is.
Tom:
You just don’t go really … Well you might go really fast on yours.
Charlie:
Don’t use …
Tom:
You’re only full blast all the time.
Charlie:
I am not full blast all the time.
Tom:
That’s why your dogs kind of limp around.
Charlie:
Stop.
Tom:
No, I’m sorry.
Charlie:
Not true.
Tom:
Anyway.
Charlie:
No, ever since I outfitted my car with that parachute on the back, it’s been much better.
Tom:
Ah, yes.
Charlie:
I’ve been able to stop on a dime.
Tom:
The neighbors stay and wait for you to come home at night.
Charlie:
It’s a morning at Houston Raceway Park every day on my driveway.
Tom:
Nah, you can use it in driveways for sure.
