More Parking

The next door neighbor has put her property up for sale. There was a small wedge of land in between us that somebody else owned. Seeing that my neighbor had property across the street (not on the lake) and the buyer of her property might break that off and sell it and the little wedge of land could be used to provide lake access for that property - well you can see where I'm heading - to avoid anybody doing that we bought the little wedge of land. One of the first things we did was to increase the parking area next to our cottage. We got the guy who originally put in our tar and stone driveway to do the addition. He started in April saying he would have it done in a week. Two months later they come back to finish the job.

I gathered up every rock on the property and build this little retaining wall - I'm not proud of it but it serves its purpose.

They also dug a trench across the original driveway so we could run a wire for the invisible dog fence for Amy's dogs.

They put two layers of tar and stone in

and roll it in between each layer

Here it is all finished and it has room for three cars.

Now I mentioned that it was over two months ago that they started. At about the same time I had a guy come in and measure for a new glass shower enclosure that he said was going to take two weeks to get and I've been calling them for the last 10 weeks to see what was holding them up. So on the same day that the driveway guys were here doing the paving, who shows up but the shower enclosure guy - both late by 10 to 12 weeks and they show up on the same day.

Anyway the shower looks good especially when Polly is in it.
