Smooth as cement...

This past week we've been having to be creative with where to park our vehicles. We have had a new driveway poured as did the neighbor to the south of us. We had to move our 5th wheel, my sister's boat, our truck, our Jeep and my sister's car to other places till the new drive is dry enough. The neighbor had to move her and her son's cars to the street as well. We were able to move our 5th wheel to a piece of real estate one of Walt's sons owns but doesn't reside at. We were able to move the boat, the neighbors pop-up trailer and my Jeep to the neighbor next to then one next to us (she doesn't drive so she doesn't own a car). We could also park Colleen's car there too if needed. Between Walt & I gone most days we were able to not have too many vehicles in the way of the workers.. 10 days ago they came and cleared the old cement off both places.

Then it RAINED. Ugh - wet soggy dirt has to be dried out before they should pour the new cement. So from Thur the 18th we have had all this chaos going on. They started FLUFFY the wet dirt on Mon the 22nd to dry it out more.

Here I am digging up a sprinkler line so it doesn't get burried in cement. On Wed they came and did more fluffing. On Thu they came and graded the dirt in both drives, then put frames up.





Fri morning at 8ish here comes the first dump truck.


Then the beehive of activity started. In the beginning there were only 3 workers doing the clearing, the hauling and the grading. But when it came time for the pouring the group had multiplied. Since they were pouring both drives, they needed lots of people at one time. Amazing how fast they worked too.

It took all day till 9pm and 3 truck loads of cement to finish off the 2 drives. They paid close attention to details which is what we liked abt their work.

We are both very pleased with the outcome and are willing to pass along their names and phones to anyone who needs work (and not just cement work either).
