Summer and I were heading to the post office on Friday and heard all kinds of ruckus on the way out of our Sector Vargas neighborhood street. When we got to the 414 we saw big dump trucks and city works people everywhere. Well, it ends up that the city is laying black top on the roads and driveways that need it in our neighborhood. Wahoooo!

With the help of my neighbor, I asked around for the supervisor who showed up about 15 minutes before the end of their workday. We brought her down to my house and showed her the driveway. She nodded, and said that we definitely needed a new driveway! She told me I needed to prepare the dirt/driveway and she would be back on Monday or Wednesday (Tuesday is a holiday here) to pave it for us.

That picture was taken on Friday. I decided that once the driveway was paved, any heavy equipment coming in and of it could mess up the blacktop so it was time to start moving some rocks and placing them in the flat area at the bottom of the hill where we park our cars. I worked all day Saturday and Sunday with a back-hoe and two guys (Edgar and Jerry) and finished laying all the stone. I took some pictures and video and will be upload the video later, stay tuned!
