One of the first things we decided to do after moving into our new house this summer was to widen the very long driveway. It's long and a bit steep, and we thought it would be helpful to make it wide enough for people to park on, and still be able to turn around and get down. The project was long and very expensive, as we had to build a retaining wall after cutting into the yard. We were very pleased with the result...until it snowed...

| The kids really enjoy this project! |
 |
| Time to dig up the old driveway! |
 |
| I expected jack hammers, not two guys named "Jack" with hammers! |

Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the finished product! However, despite the massive job it takes to shovel this baby, we are really happy with the result. And honestly, a brand new driveway with no cracks and bumps is very easy to shovel...but there is a lot of it!

| Under all that snow is our new wall and beautiful Christmas decorations. Someday we'll be able to see them again. :) |
