Our New Paved Driveway

After 3 years of laying tiny rocks across our driveway, dealing with potholes, mud, rocks tracked into the house, muddy cars, and people's cars getting stuck in the piles of snow, we have finally paved our driveway!  It is an amazing transformation!!  It took the workers 1 day to prep it, and 1 full day of work to lay it.  There were 5 or 6 cement trucks and 15 or so laborers--a huge job. But it was all done in a day.  There were huge piles of dirt that the kids had a blast digging in and climbing up before the project was done.  Now, There are actually spaces to park and plenty of room to turn around rather than chancing driving backwards to get out. There's even tons of space to ride bikes and play basketball.  We absolutely love having a paved driveway with parking.  Now we can have fun planning what trees we want to plant along it and our landscaping.  It's a lot of work to develop some land into your own, but so fun and satisfying as it slowly comes together.
