New Driveway, Day 1



Yesterday, he removed the path and the bit of concrete at the front of the house (behind where the wheelbarrow is). This may not seem like a lot of work,but it was 8 inches deep in places...



At the moment, it's quite a big step up to the front step!



And a lovely big load of hardcore to take away - of course, the driver of the lorry that would take the hardcore away has just been to the door to say that he can't get his lorry down the road because some idiots (my phrasing) have park right on the corners, so he can't turn (it's striped a certain distance from the corner, you aren't supposed to park there, but commuters often do it anyway - it's very annoying and frequently prevents delivery lorries and others from being able to get into our part of the road, which requires a right-angle turn...).

You need some of those stickers that say something like: "you idiot, you parked illegally and should get a ticket!" Years ago, little Andy gave his dad some of those. I don't think they ever got used. They were rather more rude than the above. Probably wouldn't do any good anyway. Too bad somebody doesn't actually issue tickets for illegal parking.
