I just bought my 1st home in March 06 after getting married in Oct 05. Both were major moments in my life as it is for everybody. I got the nicest house I could afford to get. Trouble is, its 40 miles away from where I grew up and work. But, it was worth it. I got a brand new home on a 1/2 an acre of land in a new neighborhood surrounded by country for the same price I would have gotten a condo where I normally lived. The travel tradeoff was worth it. However, there were some area that needed improvents from the get go. Im in no way a handyman at all. But I will do what I can. One area that needed improvement was the sidewalk. Both it and the driveway was cheap crush and run gravel. Pretty bad for a new home. The price for a new sidewalk and driveway is way more than I could afford. So, I took the cheapest alternative I could find with the most band for the buck. Took some paver stones and laid me a sidewalk. It was a little bit of work but pretty easy to be honest.
Eventually we are going to do something similar with the drive way. It wasnt a lot of money spent or time and effort. But the payoff was pretty big. These last pictures arent even when it is done, but it is pretty close here. Im glad we did this. Beats walking on gravel.
