We decided to get some projects crossed off the "to-do" list for the house.
Since we moved into the house in 2010, the wife has been bugged by the fact that there was not a sidewalk from the driveway to the front door. Both of us were also less than happy with the half-a**ed job that had been done connecting our concrete driveway to the development asphalt road. The driveway had been put in before road was paved & for unknown reasons an arc of asphalt was used to connect drive to road, not even covering all the area that a simple "T" connection would have covered. I had covered the area in crusher run, but it was a pain to deal with when moving snow & ice.
We got a package price from our concrete contractor & he did both jobs the same day with one truckload.
The driveway first, the asphalt & most of the crusher run were removed & forms applied. Then the pour.
Then the sidewalk
The other thing accomplished was some additional prep for a metal garage by our parking area and the delivery of 12 tons of crusher run for use on the pad & a couple of other areas...
