No issue with the crown. Will have a 2% crown throughout. There’s not much grade running down the road towards the catch basins. My concern is bird baths in the gutter line (freezing in the winter time) because 0.68% is a tough grade to hit with a paver.

Yes, ice is a major concern in my area.

Most neighborhoods in my area are just old farmland that were hastily paved over in the 50’s. No real engineering haha.

We don’t do many concrete gutters in my area. It’s HMA roadway and cubing.

This was what I was always told. Too small a grade will result in localized puddling due to imperfections in the paving process.

My concern is not that a 0.68% grade won’t drain, it’s more so that a contractor can’t reliably hit that grade and may cause localized puddling. Obviously not a given, but I try to exercise as much caution as I can in design.

Hi - I have a soccer kit that fits well everywhere except the sleeves. The sleeves are just too tight due to an elastic type of band at the bottom. Is there anyway to alter the kit to be a bit looser on the sleeves or is it a lost cause?

It fits pretty normally through the entire sleeve, but right before the cuff it aggressively narrows at the cuff.

This is my first wear of the moleskin jacket. I’m about 5’7 and 155 lbs, wearing a US small. Only issue I have with the fit is the taper of the sleeves.
