Driveway

I would show you photographs of the new driveway, which looks great, I think, but you can't actually see it. Bob-the-Builder was so excited about getting the driveway installed so it would eliminate the sand that was being tracked into the house. More than once, he told me that it would be great - no more sand being tracked into the house, so the house would be cleaner. Funny how he failed to tell us that the "grout" between the pavers is sand. To get the sand into the gaps between the pavers, they cover the driveway with sand and just let it sink in. We were told they would use a machine to vibrate it into the crevices, sweep it and then repeat the process several more times. Well, the pavers have been there for over a week covered entirely with sand (and now all kinds of things dropping from the trees). No one has used any type of machine (or broom) that we have seen and there are still many crevices that have no sand in them at all. The irony is that now the sand in the house is actually worse than before the pavers were installed.

Go figure.......
