Finally!

A week later than planned, the driveway was repaved today.  The original asphalt in front was over 30 years old.  The back was repaved once, 20 years ago.  It was clearly time for a new driveway.

Years ago, the next door neighbor replaced their asphalt with concrete.  Besides the huge expense, there are several reasons we never seriously considered that option. As "they" say, there are two things you can count on with concrete.  It will never be stolen; and it will definitely crack.  But I'll add another.  It will eventually get stained.

The best thing about asphalt is that a yearly sealing makes it look new again. Our new driveway, therefore, should last for several decades.  And, finally, we just might have a completed project that's "one and done."
