DIRT ALONG DRIVEWAY

This weekend Tommy worked hard outside and moved a lot of dirt.  He took the dirt from the other side of the stream to put along the sides of the driveway.  He did most of it himself...he will only let me help a little bit seeing as we are at 25 weeks!

I put grass seed and then on Monday Tom's parents came and were able to get some straw to put on the top.  Most importantly along the street and near the stream so that we don't get in trouble for making mud.

CONCRETE DRIVEWAY - PART 2

Had another great crew today!  Thanks everyone!

We started again at 7 am... 11 yards went smoothly...

Next truck came at 11am... another 11 yards down...

Third and FINAL truck came at 4pm... a little late, antiquated truck and driver with a taste for scotch... leads to a 6 yard load that took just as long as an 11 yard load...
















So all in all the entire driveway is 72 YARDS of concrete or 282,000 POUNDS!  or in other words 141 TONS... Holy cow!
