New driveway

As we were repairing the stairs and back porch, we decided that the driveway needed some attention too. It was crumbling badly, and the rain pooled on it before leaking into the basement. The guys did the whole job in just a few days.

Day 1: Remove old driveway.
All the kids in the neighborhood enjoyed watching the men work. Unfortunately, Scott Rattray wasn't around to help me get this thing moving...

Day 2: Remove the second (surprise!) driveway; pour the new stamped brick patio. Here Scott is trying to find where the cement runner ends.

Day 3: Pour the new driveway. We plan to park side-by-side, and hopefully both be free to leave without moving a car. We will put in some stepping stones and little lamps connecting the driveway to the back yard.

Many of the flowers are dying as the weather turns cold. The dahlias are thriving!
