Loud Noises!!!!

The last couple of days have been pretty exciting around here! The builder has finally decided to replace the driveway! Although it hasn't been the best conditions for naps, I will say it has kept us pretty entertained between them.


Instead of Jack-hammering the whole driveway, they just did a little corner and then literally peeled the rest up. That's probably a good thing because the hammering was shaking the whole house and Kate kept going "boom boom boom boom".



Here is a little spot where they hammered up the walkway. You can also see how the concrete was damaged from when it wasn't done properly the first time.



Isaac was studying the whole process very intently. I'm pretty sure that if he could speak in full sentences he would be able to tell us from start to finish exactly how they did it.



Kate just thought it was fun to look out the window and see all the commotion.



Take a look at this guy! He literally looked like they had plucked him out of a mental institution and tied him to the chair. He barely moved at all... even his arms were still while he was operating the machine. It was pretty funny to watch. I wonder how many driveways he has done this summer?! He seemed pretty into his job!


A shot of what was underneath



After they pulled up the concrete they poured gravel and then left for the day.



The next day this arrived to pour our new driveway...



And so did all this eye candy.. ;)





Another shot of the HUGE crane!



Of course we couldn't pass up the opportunity to leave our mark!



Check out my fancy PJs!



Yea!!!!!!


Almost done

Three days later...It looks so much better! I think it will be worth parking on the street for two weeks, the coming and going out the basement window a few times, and the weird nap schedules!
