Finally, We Have Concrete Again!

Most of the Fab Family probably remembers coming to our house last year for Christmas and driving over a very lumpy mound of sand and gravel in the location of our former driveway approach. This was the result of a water main break earlier in December. At that time, we were informed that the city of Center Line would replace the removed concrete in the spring. We weren’t very pleased with the thought of having mud to deal with when it snowed, but there wasn’t much that could be done. The temperature must be over 50 degrees for at least a week in order to pour the concrete.

Okay, well winter turned to spring, then spring turned to summer. Center Line finally signed a contract with the company that would be replacing concrete throughout the city. Then on August 6, the trucks, equipment, and crew members rolled in to get the job done. We also had an extension of concrete poured between our driveway and the neighbor’s house to eliminate the muddy mess during inclement weather where the lawn had worn away. The best part of finally having the new approach was eliminating the “lake” we always had in the lower driveway every time it rained, and now the sand and gravel are gone as well.
