Near my front door, there was a triangle of rock between the asphalt of the driveway and the cement of the landing between the house and garage. It was a problem all the time. I couldn't shovel the snow off of it in the winter and in the summer it collected water and grew weeds. Generally it was a mess. My nephew in law, Mark, has experience at the paving game, so I hired him to help me. He brought my great niece, Breanna, along and she was a good helper.
 |
| First Mark had to cut the asphalt so we could make a nice area for pavers. |
 |
| Wicked dust, but it the asphalt really cut pretty well. |
 |
| Asphalt gone, now we have a nice area for the pavers. |
 |
| Breanna thought the pile of asphalt was fun to climb on. |
 |
| Had to take a second picture, she wasn't at the tippy top the first time. |
 |
| Breanna got right in there with the tamper to compact the sand. |
 |
| She was a good helper, this is some back breaking work. She actually told me to let her do it so "you don't hurt yourself". |
 |
| She helped level out the sand and did a good job. |
 |
| Nice and level and ready for pavers. |
 |
| Then she made a sign which says "Do Not Walk" but after the illustrations, the message is a little hidden. |
Sunday we will get the pavers from Menards and then put them in place. I can't wait to see how nice it looks and it will be easy to scoop the snow off it in the winter too. This place is really getting spruced up!

Tonight Payton is going to her first high school dance, Homecoming, and she had her hair done today.
 |
| Fun for her, but these girls grew up too fast! |
