Driveway refurb

It's not quite done, but most of the hard graft has been completed. We have lived in the house since mid July 1989 and the tarmac on the drive was past its best. Having received the small legacy from my late father's will we decided to spend a chunk of it on having the drive ripped up and a new decorative concrete drive laid. It looks like paving stones but is concrete with imprints and colour to make it look 'rustic'. Today the powder used to add the colouring (we chose Imperial Grey) was washed off and boy, what a transformation from what was there before. Now we just have to wait for a dry day or tow so that the team can come back and apply the acrylic sealer. Everyone who has so far seen it has expressed amazement at the transformation and the inconvenience wrought while the work was going on has been well worth it. Can't wait to see the final end product, but will have to....
