Concrete Evidence

We finally made some much-needed additions to the outside areas. The first task was to pave the driveway.  You might remember the drive when we first moved in. There was a concrete base there, but it had all kinds of issues.




Not only did it have a big bump out at the street entrance, but it was also poured on top of an existing rock drive, putting the driveway level above that of the interior, resulting in damp issues inside our bedroom. To correct those issues, our builder dug it out and traveled it. This was a much better solution than the original, but we gradually concluded that the gravel was a bit treacherous for me to navigate in heels! It was also difficult  to roll the bins down to the end of the driveway on collection days.

We decided to pave the drive, so now it’s a tidy, smooth surface -

The next task was to put a footpath up to the clothesline and shed. That hill can be a real slippery slope, so a set of steps and a concrete path did the trick!

The next project will be to add some landscaping to soften the path. I’m thinking lavender, so stay tuned for the pics!
