Driveway Resurfacing

This week Chris has been working hard to get the driveway leveled and graveled. We rented a Bobcat and it arrived on Monday afternoon. Chris worked hard until dusk to get all the potholes filled in and the stumps removed before the gravel arrived on Tuesday morning at 10am.

Having Fun Yet!?!

The front yard finished.

Leveling out the barn-side yard.
He also shortened our rock wall so that we have more room for cars to back up without hitting the wall; and a big plus might I add; so I don't have to weed so much untamed garden area. The rock wall now ends at the end of the grass in the front yard.

Fixing another turn around spot.
I think Chris really enjoyed this!

New turn around spot.

Driveway all done and waiting for the gravel.

10AM came and went, and no gravel, which he was concerned about because we only had the Bobcat until 2PM. So he called them and found out that they had a truck break down and they wouldn't be able to deliver the gravel until 2PM. He was not a happy camper.

So he made the best use of the Bobcat while he could and leveled out the yard on the barn-side of the house and also at the bottom of the hill in the meadowy area.The gravel arrived exactly at 2PM - 10 yards of gravel!

Wow that's a lot to shovel!
They didn't arrive to pick up the Bobcat until 2:30 so he was able to get most of it moved around before they arrived.Go Chris Go!
It's amazing how much work can be done so easily and fast with the right equipment

He finished up shoveling the rest of the gravel and it looks really good.
We still need another 20 yards or so to finish in front of the house but that will come soon in "phase two" which will probably be next payday.
Here is the finished driveway so far.
Great job Chris, and Thank You so much!
