Levelling up

Brian has been steaming through the job list in my absence. When we caught up last night on what we’d been doing I couldn’t believe what he’d achieved.

last year when we had the heating pipes laid for the new boiler, the driveway had needed to be dug up, and over the last twelve months it has settled back with a bit of a dip in it. So he had wanted to level it up. We do need to lay more stones, but we will do this in the spring.

He started by scraping all the stone back (about a ton of it), then broke up the existing higher part of the drive with a pick axe, which he then raked into the lower part, levelling up the area with some of the scraped stones.

It was then a case of pushing the stones back and filling in the inevitable gaps with stones scraped from other parts of the drive, where they had built up. The drive is looking so much better, and will make it easier next year when we come to skim it with some new stones.
