A New Driveway

Two years ago, our neighbor's gutters were clogged and leaking onto our driveway in Niagara Falls fashion.   Because of his inability to address the problem for said two years, we experienced giant pot holes dictating repairs.

After several mind blowing quotes, we were able to book a company to remove the blacktop, remove the underlying concrete, re-pitch the driveway, pour new concrete with a border and basically make our driveway beautiful.  Yesterday they began.

I don't want to be too optimistic, but I love these guys.  First of all they came at the time they stated they would.  Big plus and unusual for the contractors in the city.  Next, they were clean, articulate, friendly and communicative.  WOW.  They worked non stop all day, left when they said they would, accomplished what they said they would and the areas was left clean.  Could I be more impressed? If they continue, I am writing a great recommendation!

Conversely, my neighbor is a bit of a pain.  He is the one who came over after the October storm asking if we would split on installation of his new fence. Long story short - we gave me some money and he did not install a new fence, simply fixed the old.  Next he asked for me to pay for tree removal on his property.  I said no. Then he came to tell me that my gardening skills basically sucked because I would not garden around his side of the house like the former neighbor.  Now while working my driveway is torn up, he wanted to send his sewage through my drainage pipe so that he would not have to pay to fix his own.  I have been as accommodating as possible, so as to be a good neighbor.  DONE.

So here is what my driveway looks like today.  Keep your fingers crossed so that it doesn't rain and the cement can be poured!
