NO MORE BACKING UP!!

GREETINGS!

I don't know if you can follow these pictures or not, but here's how it goes. A while ago I thought it would be nice to have a "circular" driveway so I didn't have to back up to get out all the time. (And of course I never did it right! Was on the grass, crooked, etc.) So the other day I heard the tractor and went out to look and there was Ronnie pushing down small trees and making me a new road/driveway! I was a happy camper.

This first picture is a shot of the existing driveway and shows the new one going off to the left. Our house is behind that little copse of trees.
















Just another shot of the new road winding to the house, with Patch watching!













And these two show the new road merging in to the existing drive where I park my car.




And this one shows the drive veering to the right meeting the main drive by the pump house and heading out to the road.








The drive is really not circular - I call it tear-drop shaped! But I love it! Of course it needs some rock/gravel, but we are waiting to get it packed down some before doing that. There were several deep places where trees came out that need the dirt to settle. Anyhoo, husbands are handy!!

That's all for today. Until next time, take care and God bless you.

Why is it we have trouble backing up??
I had to have this done at my house last spring. My husband was afraid I was going to back into the side of the house or off an embankment below the house.I have a van also so maybe thats it !!!!
I know it can't be getting older !!!
