This weekend we had some major excitement around here! We got a new sidewalk AND some gravel in our driveway. Now, to the average person this may not seem so exciting. But...those people obviously had not seen our old sidewalk OR our driveway.
When I found out they were going to be doing this project on a day that Nathan was in school, I knew I needed to document everything in pictures. This kind of project is right up his alley.
They started the day by ripping up the old sidewalk with a bobcat.
Somewhere during this time the gravel truck came with the load of Class Five for our driveway.
This was a LONG process. The good thing about that was that Calvin and Nathan came home on the bus and there was still LOTS of action to watch.
These poor guys were here from 10 am until 10 pm. Then one of them came back the next day to take out the frames and put back the sod along the edges. Here is the finished product!
We built the deck like a year ago and this is the first time we've had cement at the bottom of it. Awesome.
When it was finally dry all the kids wanted to do was walk on it barefoot. I'm telling you people, it's the little things.
As soon as Nathan saw them pouring this area at the bottom of the deck....he couldn't wait to park his car there.
There was even a bit of a traffic jam at one point!
Have you ever loved your new sidewalk so much that you wanted to lay on it? WE HAVE!
YEAH for new cement!
