Ah...they tore out an acre of trees at the end of my old driveway and rolled a mobile home in --perfectly framed at the end of my driveway. Before that, I spent almost every fair season evening on the front porch with my family. I believe every man has a right to do most anything with his land, but this was a blatant case of no common sense. So, rather than get angry and whine...I had my driveway entrance moved and paved a nice "S" shape that has an entrance 50 feet offset. Now I can plant a nice natural grove of evergreens and still use my front porch in privacy.
I will probably start another thread on the project when I complete a little more work. I have been taking pictures all along. The paving contractor was great to work with. I removed all the old asphalt and the contractor disposed of it. When he scraped the new path for the driveway, he dumped all the topsoil and sod where the old driveway was. He finished paving two days ago and I am doing some drainage work this weekend before planting trees and reseeding. I saved about $1,200 for a few hours of seat time lifting the old asphalt. The 4110 was a champ.
BTW, I never use my cruise control and miss my 2210's cupholder /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
