regrading the driveway

Along with the front and side yards, the driveway slopes from the road toward the house and barn. We need to raise the grade. Because it is the driveway, we didn't want to raise it with only sand. Martin is hauling rocks. Those rocks were the foundation of the original kitchen addition, which we hauled and piled on the property line in the back yard. Now we get to haul them into the driveway and then cover them with gravel.

 We've made progress. The driveway is up to the grade that we want across its entire width and from the garage even with the mudroom foundation. The more rocks we haul, the less material we need to buy and have trucked in.

Unfortunately, the winter storm that arrived the day before Thanksgiving, has buried the driveway and the rock pile. Martin is spending today digging out and assessing if he can continue to make driveway regrade progress.
