We are getting a new driveway on Monday! This may not seem very exciting to most people, but it is a big deal to us. We have a very narrow single lane driveway, so if we both park in the driveway one person has to move their car in the morning if the other person needs out first. We do park on the street, but our house is near a college campus so students park on our street and often when one of us gets home, there is no room on the street. If there is room it is further down the street, which just doesn't work when you are trying to unload a car with an infant, a toddler, bags, purse, etc... And to top it off, our teeny, narrow driveway is literally crumbling away. The area near the street has huge chunks of concrete missing, so when you back out it feels like you are driving into a huge pothole. The driveway was also coated with teeny rocks and epoxy probably 20 years ago. These teeny rocks come off and we track them into the house and they scratch the floors. We always get them in our shoes, and even though we don't wear our shoes inside, they still get tracked in.
We are going to have the driveway re-poured to a double width so we can both park side-by-side. No more parking on the street, no more re-arranging the cars at 6:30 in the morning in the snow, no more bottoming out in the huge potholes as we back out, and no more little annoying rocks! Yeah! If only it wasn't going to cost so much, blah.
