FINALLY FINISHED!!

Day 3 was a pretty and sunny so we expected there would be lots

of worker bees today.  Mom and Dad came home from their

walk to find the worker bees napping in a truck

and sitting in the wheelbarrow THEY were

 Finally it arrived

 It had to back up our very steep and long drive way

as soon as I heard the noise I high tailed it upstairs.

 I told mom for safety reasons she was not allowed

to go pass me unless she knew the password

 Lucky for Mom she remembered the password

so I allowed her on the front porch for a photo shoot

so she could document the cement coming down the hopper

 The worker bees sprayed something in the hopper

to make it slippery and then he wet the dirt so the

cement would stick quickly

 WooHoo the first cement reaches ground ZERO...

aka our sidewalk.  Pouring cement and smoothing it on our walk and driveway was an all day job.  It had to sit

for a full 24 hours before they could return to 

lay the brick pavers in 3 sections.....

 Lo and behold it started raining the next day

and rained all weekend.  As of Sunday 8/10, the 3 paver sections are wet and muddy.  The peeps hoped and purred the weekend rain would end allowing these areas to dry before

the mason came on Monday 8/11 to lay the brick pavers.

Obviously the Old gray Mare* (TOGM) and Dad** cannot drive on the drive way due to the holes but they can walk on it.  They have to park the cars in front of the house.  They have to hoof it up and down the driveway. ...and trust me when I say there has been a good deal of whinny* and whining** going on here.  TOGM told me she hopped over the mud hole.  I told her I was purrty no hopping is allowed during 

BIG REVEAL!!!

RECAP...OLD DRIVEWAY

New SAFE Drive way and sidewalk

We have 3 sections of brick pavers in the drive way.
 One at top of drive way,one about 18' behind this one
and one at the bottom.  Our drive way is ~90' long

 Dad also asked them to put a row of pavers where the sidewalk and driveway meet
