Ooh la la... concrete!

Who knew I could get so excited over concrete being demo'd and poured?  It has been the big home improvement project of 2013 thus far.  My superman husband, father in law and brother in law demo'd our old driveway in a weekend.  I just think they were really all curious to see what it felt like to run a jack hammer.  After phase one was done, then the hauling of the concrete into our dumpster began for a few days.  Scott would come home from work and haul all of the pieces by hand down the driveway until darkness fell.  Belle helped a bit too.  Our contractor arrived and phase three was excavating the driveway so we had less of a steep pitch and pouring brand new concrete!  It has made such an improvement to our curb appeal.  In less than one week we can finally park on it since it will be completely cured by then.  Three cheers for concrete!

Here we go!
Ready for concrete
Ta-Da!
