Poured...AGAIN!

There have been a few trials and tribulations with the driveway project which has been ongoing for almost three months now. I'm happy to report it's finally close to being done. The exposed aggregate section of the driveway didn't turn out well the first time so it had to be removed and poured again. Luckily...the second time was the charm and we now we have a lovely new driveway, garage floor, stairs and side walk. After a little more sealing work and a two-week drying period we'll be able to drive up the driveway and park on the garage slab!

Here's how it turned out:

Let the landscaping begin!

Project Backyard: Now with Footings

While we enjoyed a wonderful trip to San Diego to celebrate the engagement of two beautiful people (congrats Erika & Scott!), our contractor was hard at work on the backyard.

The rest of the footings were poured:Forms for the stem walls also went up:

Things continue to progress in the backyard. Forms for the concrete footings are beginning to take shape!

The backyard is quickly taking shape! Most recently the walls of the future garage were marked and holes for the footings were created.I hope you all enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL weather yestereday! :)
