New Concrete Landing Pad...

This was all gravel. We came out 25ft with concrete.
No more splash on the garage doors plus the other obvious benefits :tu

Wow, very nice!! Congrats! :tu

What tickles me even more is that you can actually park your car in your garage!! :D

I built a 28X24 garage on my lot 9 years ago, and haven't been able to park in there for about 5 years! :c

This year's summer project is to clean out most of the junk that has accumulated in there over the years!! :ss

Uh, does anyone need an old AT&T 8086 WGS PC?

Nice driveway, but it's really got me stumped as to what the cars in the garage is.

Initially I thought it was a mid 70's Camaro, but now I think I'm wrong.

Job well done. I would've had to chain my dog up, or he'd be rolling in it.

Wow, that's almost as old as me!

Very cool.:tu

Now if you burned some rubber on that new driveway, it would appear as though a maverick who cared about curb appeal lived there. That's just me though.....

Did you put in a grid of pipe and hook it up to a water heater?...No snow shoveling or icy driveway. :)

Congratulations!!! :)

Nope, but I had one just like it, well it was a little more rusted out :(

Loved that car. Also had a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

If they want to start selling cars again they need to start making them like that again !

Nope. I'm not thinking I'll need to.
