Paving, finally!

Aren't you glad this is the last time you'll have to hear me talk about paving the driveway??

They finally finished this morning.



They even had to stop traffic on the main highway for a little while. Neat. (I'm sure no one on the highway thought it was "neat" though!)


It's a little hard to see the detail here....right now it still looks a little like gravel. It's not "blacktop" paving. It's the old fashioned tar/gravel. After a good rain and some traffic, the gravel will settle down into the black tar and it will look more like the pavement we're used to. Regardless....my cars will now be DUSTFREE!!! Yippee!

That's the kind of paving they mostly do up here - with all the freezing and thawing - it seems to work better - that's what they did up in Balsam Grove too...

It looks wonderful!

Love,

I can see why you are so happy. It looks great. I haven't seen it put down that way recently but used to be all the time. MOM
