Having to call AAA to tow the minivan out of our backyard was the last straw. So we ordered up a driveway. You know what it’s like when you go to the grocery store hungry and you buy, like, a lot of food? Well, we’re getting a lot of driveway. And a new sidewalk to boot.
The driveway starts out two cars wide, swoops around at one car wide, and winds up by the side door at about three cars wide. The curves are fantastic (although the graphic designer in me would like to find bezier handles on the forms and smooth out a few kinks) and ideas about landscaping are all falling into place.
The sidewalk that used to drain water to our front steps now slopes to the street and is perfectly lined up with front door. (The old one was perfectly lined up with the old front door.)
I’m so excited I’m looking up dimensions for four-square and hopscotch.
