We didn't replace the driveway when we remodeled years ago, and we have been living with an increasingly rough bit of cement and shoveling mountains of snow to the front because there is nowhere to throw it. We have been dreaming of a new heated driveway for years, and in May it finally happened. 8 May was demolition day, 12 May was plumbing day, and on 15 May they poured cement. Mid May also included a visit from Conner and Bree, Group Dinner at Freestones, and some good walks with and without Evy.
Conner and Bree
Sledge hammer opens the way for the backhoe
The backhoe goes to work
The backhoe operator had a delicate touch
Easier than breaking it out by hand
About three loads of cement went to be recycled into gravel
Nearly there

Rock Canyon Creek was running full and draining into
Rock Canyon Park
Katy wanted to see it, so I went again
Lovely where the creek enters the park bowl
The water was freezing cold
A few day later, the project continued with access holes
to the cellar where the boiler will be installed
The plumbers laid mesh and tubing
8" on center means a nice warm driveay
Phase 2 complete
A few days later, the cement arrived
Mike Terry is the one who did the cement work on the remodel
It goes in a few feet at a time
The final reach
Finished!

Where my father was born on 500 West
NuSkin fountains were very exciting...
...And fun

There was still more excitement in May, but this is all for now.
