New Concrete

About 2 weeks ago we hired a concrete company to come in and do some work for us. We had them do three things. The first was to create a sidewalk from the driveway over to the front door.
They also poured a large parking pad in front of the garage. Ben will be adding some more concrete slats to the front left corner so the concrete slats will be even with the parking pad. Ben will park his pick-up on the slats (up next to the door and use the side garage door entrance) and we will be able to park about 4 cars across the concrete in front of the house!
The last job we had them do was pour a curb going from the parking pad all the way down to where the grass will stop. This will keep gravel out of the grass, and also keep people from accidentally driving up onto the grass.
We are pretty happy with how it all turned out. It means we are one step closer to being done with the landscaping of the house! Our sprinkler system is being designed right now and that will be the next thing to go in the coming weeks. Then we plant grass and sit back and enjoy it...well somebody will have to mow it now and then, I guess!
