Stamps Like Champs: Kiss My Asphalt (We Did!)

This is going to be a short blog because there's really only one update.

Steve and I both had off work on Friday to get ready for the Do Your Best 5k (www.stefripple.org), which was a resounding success, by the way. On our way to our friend's house that day, we stopped at our house around 9:00 in the morning to see who was working. We weren't sure if we'd see the flooring contractors there, and we didn't. But it was for a very good reason! They were going to start paving our driveway on Friday!

The entire weekend called for rain, so we were a bit concerned about whether or not they'd finish Friday or have to push some of the work to Monday. But we also knew that you're not supposed to drive on new asphalt for a day or two, so we thought they probably wanted to push really hard to get it done Friday so everything else could resume again on Monday.

Saturday after the race, we stopped by the house and we were shocked to see they finished the entire driveway! We have a common driveway that we share with two other lots and then our own driveway. All told, it's over 700 feet of paving that needed to be done and they did it!

We're hoping they'll be able to finish floors tomorrow so that the plumbing and touch ups still stay on track. Either way though, the driveway is a huge milestone and I can't wait to actually drive down to the garage tomorrow after work!!
