Driveway

We've wanted it since we moved in. We have envied others when we've seen them. Some people look at fast cars and fancy jewels with covetous yearning. Not us. We look at paved driveways that way. Spend a few winters and rainy seasons at the end of this one and you'll know why. Now we have one.

 Isaac's Paving Company came on Thursday morning in a cold drizzle.

 They removed the loose gravel and added bed rock and dense grade material.

 They spread the dense grade with the asphalt spreader.

 It made a nice even layer of material.


 Dumping in the hopper going down hill was difficult.

 They packed it in with the roller.

 It was smooth, packed and ready for asphalt.

 The guys started working on the asphalt this morning.

 The first pass of steaming blacktop.

 Down the hill. The asphalt slid out of the truck easier than the dense grade gravel but it was still slow going down the hill.

 It's beautiful. A work of art.

 Heather is coming by first thing in the morning so she'll be the first to drive on it.

 Nice wide spot in front of the garage.

 Anne and Sarah came for a dog show this weekend.

 Paige.
