Driveway

With the weather showing signs of improvement, and time running out, it was time to pour the concrete for the driveway. The concrete truck has arrived and the forms and support braces are already in place:

It's time to start pouring the mud (apparently it isn't called concrete until it goes hard) while Drew and his team manage the flow distribution:

It's immediately apparent that this isn't the first time they have done this!

The forms seem pretty sketchy to me but somehow the concrete ends up exactly where it is meant to go and already the surface is being shaped and skimmed.

In relatively short order, the driveway is completed. (The path and run-up to the drive comes later).

Then it's on to the steps...

After the surface is scored into sections and washed, it dries remarkably quickly!

Two days later Drew and the team returned to complete the sidewalk (pavement for those of you in the UK) and the driveway ramp onto the road.

And there we have it - simple!
