Looks FABULOUS!!!

Was it just gravel before? I bet you're thrilled to have a nice new driveway pad now

 

[Terry57]

Wow, that is huge & looks fantastic!And I am so thankful that they are done so you can get some rest now

 

[ParkersMom]

Looks good...much better than before. I bet you are super happy with it...

 

[MikeyTN]

Shirre,

It was gravel and dirt before and I drive on the dirt side cause I have a 4WD suv so I don't get stuck as my partner takes the gravel side.

Heather have seen it in person first hand so she knows!!!!

Oooh YAY! New driveway! Must be so nice now not to have any issues of getting stuck or getting out of the car on a wet day and accidentally slipping in the mud!

Looks very nice, clean and neat. ^^ Congratulations!

 

[JerseyWendy]

Nice! They sure did a super job on that! It looks so clean and smooth. Makes the house really stand out, too.

Looks great! I'm going to be looking into getting mine done soon...if it ever stops snowing!! Not sure if I can afford it though.

 

[Betrisher]

Wah! Rollerskates, scooters, skateboards, pogo stix, basketballs, hopscotch and handball!!! Can I come over and play???

PS. Mikey, you did write your name in it somewhere, didn't you?

 

[MikeyTN]

This driveway is huge! I can park about 8 cars....

No Trish I didn't write my name in it cause I like the clean finish without the name written on it...lol

Now we just need to finish the landscape to make it look nice cause this past winter have been harsh on my plants and I lost quite a few plants upfront so a major clean up, new plants and fresh mulch.

WOW, what a beautiful job. How many hands did it take to get that thing poured? Also who's Honda CR&V? I love mine, great gas mileage.

Three guys did the work and later on a few more joined in to help with clean-up. I pitched in to help with the cleaning too. I have done concrete before long ago so I wasn't about to attempt it. Both of those Hondas are our cars parked in neighbor's driveway right now until ours is ready. Did you see that new Ford Escape gets even better gas mileage?

 

[Betrisher]

My brother-in-law and nephew are both concreters and they always 'sign' their work somewhere in a corner.

Back when I was a kid, Dad mixed and laid the concrete for our very long (30m) driveway. When it was laid, he got each of us to leave a thumbprint and our initials, each in a corner of the drive. I was twelve then and the prints are still there over forty years later.

That huge driveway gave us kids hours and hours of play and I even developed my killer tennis serve there with a tennis ball tethered to the ground by an elastic. I used to whack and whack away at it and eventually got my serve down to pinpoint accuracy with the power of a locomotive behind it. LOL! Smiling at the great memories... Anyway, congratulations on your super driveway, Mikey. Now, go and get some sleep!!!!

hahahahahahahaha, yeah, I saw that. It's hard to see them comparing a ford to a honda though. They would have to prove that to me before I bought one.

You guys in the warmer climates are so lucky you can do this If I tried doing that here in Montreal with our seasons and frost, it would look like a bomb went off under the concrete after a few years. It looks great, I'm jealous.
