A new WHAT?

So, once upon a time there was a Handsome Husband whose burning desire in life was to repave the driveway..

He had visons of the children riding bikes, roller skating and skateboarding on the newly paved asphalt.

Arguments could be made regarding the advantage of paving vs. the gravel/ stone that was our current driveway. Flooding of the front lawn would become a thing of the past as well as the winter snow removal would be SO much easier.

Two years ago a paving company quoted the job at $5,000. Then last year a different company quoted $3500. On Wednesday, the Handsome Husband noticed that this company was paving the driveway down the street. He flagged down the owner, and asked him to stop by. Owner came over, gave him an offer of $1500 and as Husband was still talking, they started to grate down the driveway.. AND the kicker was that my sister Danielle was here and offered a down payment in cash.

It was a HUGE discount. All the equipment was already there. There were 5 guys, 3 HUGE pieces of equipment. It took about 45 minutes.

It looks SO NICE. We have admired it from afar for the last 2 days. No prints or tiretracks wanted.

Tonight we christened it..

 

 He is REALLY good at this. It makes me nervous, because when he goes down and he WILL, it's gonna be a bad one.

She is JUST Like Dorothy. There's no place like home.
