driveway delight...

Whoohoo! It is sooo exciting to report the amazing news that we now have phase one of our driveway! Phase two will be completed as soon as the roads are in! Our little 'bay' is being worked on at this very moment - the second grade has been done, as well as the layer of gravel! From what we understand, the next step is pavement! Bring it on!! Our driveway was started August 20th and was poured yesterday, the 21st... I'm sure the guys thought I was the 'paparazzi' with the photo shoot & they probably don't have loonie housewives & kids watching them every day :)

The cement truck arrives :)

Team work...

Getting it all level

Note: this picture is of the LONG pole used to smooth out the surface, not the buff tan young worker in front (just wanted to clarify)

pretty impressive really... all that is involved...

OF COURSE!!! If you were 4 yrs old, wouldn't you head outside to find the water hose & mud, in your mother's brand new flip flops too?

Smooth like buttah...

The guys are back to hose it down (the rest of the crew is just up the road framing another driveway)

TA-DA... here's what we've got so far

The front (our steps will go all the way across to the first pillar)

Side profile & a peek at the crews working on the road!

The flowers' perspective :)

Exposed Aggregate - obviously the most beautiful I have ever seen!
