Building Projects (continued)
I forgot about the front drive project, it was actually one of the first
projects. There was a concrete driveway to the garage side of the house.
The front of the house faced west toward the 100 feet of woods between the house
and the main access road to our subdivision. Without cutting down any of the
many large trees in that section, we marked out a circle path much wider than
a car’s width and came within 20 feet of the house’s front entry. We cleared
it of small trees and brush. We lined the sides of the front drive with 8-foot
landscape timbers. We ordered 30 tons of river rock which when delivered was
dumped all in one big pile out by the street. I shoveled and wheel barrowed all
30 tons and Nancy spread it 4 inches deep over all of the circle drive.
