New to TH and looking for advice on backing it up

I am in the same type of back up area beside the house that you are ,I also have a Cox cable box right at the curb so it gives me an aiming point.The one thing I do to make turn easier and lessen tire scrub is wet the asphalt down with water.It cools the asphalt and makes it slick so the tires slide easier and don't bunch up a lot of the roadway.
