Driveway Time

We usually have our regular driveway guy come and seal the asphalt, but he never called us back, so Hubs called another outfit. 

It looks great-Asphalt Repair Service did a really nice job!

 They cut out a few really bad places and replaced them.

And the place where I back out of the garage and onto the grass to avoid the pick up, which is always in the driveway, they cut it out and made it a little wider.

 I should have had it a little bit more wider though! The first time I pulled out, I was still in the grass for a little bit!

The end result looks great though!

 

Mudding In the Yard

SO with the handicap ramp in the driveway, my hubs parks his truck next to it and then I can't fit with out driving on the grass beside the driveway when I back out of the garage. And it's muddy!

Look at that, I left a track of mud into the garage. So I tried some of these plastic grids that are supposed to let the grass grow in between the squares, but not get muddy. They were out there for a few weeks. 

They didn't really work very well. SO I pulled them out.

And poured in limestone screening. It's kind of like kitty litter made of rocks.

I used about a dozen bags. Then I put these cement blocks on top of the area where I have to drive. Mud problem solved.

We'll see if it lasts awhile or not. But at least I don't have mud in my garage now!
