While the inside of the home is shaping up we are working on the exterior. Here you can see the almost finished product of the retaining wall to hold back the dirt to allow
for the new driveway. This interlocking block system is beautiful.

Before we can pour the asphalt we have to make sure that everything necessary
is in place. Here you can see that we have built the gate columns out of the same
stone we have around the house to make it look uniform.

Then finally the asphalt can be installed.
This is a major process and very tedious work for these contractors
as its their job to make sure the driveway is completely smooth!
