Based on the numbers you give, this is going to be a very big project. I can't imagine seeing that much asphalt being mixed in one place. How long is it going to take to lay all of that asphalt? Hopefully it is not one guy that has to do all of that himself. http://www.aaapavingandsealingservices.com/about
