Personal Parking Place

We have a crushed shell driveway and until a couple of weeks ago, we also had a crushed shell parking area.

The Colonel and I decided to have a concrete parking area put in. We are tired of the "unfinished" look of the crushed shell and tracking shell and dirt into the house. We hired the same man who poured our steps to work on the new parking area.

The first step in the process was to move some earth and grade the area. Pat, the man who owned and worked the machine, we found out, is one of our neighbors.

It didn't take long for Pat to grade the parking area.

The next day the concrete crew came to start their job.

It didn't take long for the crew to form up the parking area.

Next came the concrete truck.

I wondered how the broom coat texture was going to be applied. That is one heck of a broom handle!

The finished pour.

You may have noticed that there is a rectangular space of dirt that has not been poured with concrete at the lower right hand area of the pad...that will be the subject of the next blog.
