'Jeep Street' got repaved

[jpnjim]

 

Was nice to have my own private trail for a while:

 

 

 

I got the work done cheap, but the work crew was a little on the young side:

 

 

 

Widened it just enough for the 'boys' to park side by side in the back. :thumbsup:

It was over 1200 sq feet, but the guy did it for the 1000 sq price ($3 a square = $3k).

 

He did a nice job, and there were some added costs on his end, so I also tipped him a few $$ on top of that.

120 year old house,

back when 'fieldstone foundations' were sometimes 'mortar optional'. :nuts:

 

They used mortar on the inside (basement side), but the outside of the wall was just a bunch of loosely stacked rocks, held in place by dirt.

The inside wall was providing all the support, evidenced by how loosely the outside stones were in place.

 

Either way, they're mortared in now.

 

 

I asked about permits, the driveway guy (who seems to be working his way up & down my street) said only if we were changing the driveway location, or significantly widening it.
