New Drive Timelapse – Day 8

Work continues on our new drive. We missed the action yesterday thanks to a technological faults – for some reason my GoPro keeps stopping partway through a timelapse recording session, I don’t now why, but it always seems to stop after taking 197 photos. It went through a phase of doing this every time for a few days and I thought I had sorted it by reformatting the Micro SD card in it, but it did it again yesterday so we were unable to record the first layer of tarmac being laid.

It worked today though and not long after 8am a small army bobble-hat clad  men turned up and with all manner of machinery started finishing off the tarmac for us. Morgan and I were at home with some sort of lurgy so we didn’t get involved but we could at least see them in action. Mind you, it wasn’t exactly the most peaceful of environments to be in.

So that’s it, we have a new drive and we can drive and park on it. I guess we can skateboard on it as well! We need to add some gravel around the edges and get rid of a few piles of leftover soil, and we need to build a new fence out the front and get the front garden looking nice but at least now we should be able to get in and out of the house without wading through a quagmire.
