And so we begin by taking the texture off of the driveway. It took two days with a six blade, gas powered chipping machine. Some friends from work helped me out.
 |
| First Day - have to use lots of water to cool the grinder and to sweep away the ground up pavement |
 |
| First day got less than half done |
 |
| Second Day |
 |
| Lots of work grinding the cement |
 |
| I dug up the garden and removed the sprinkler system piping |
 |
| I also had to remove the rocks and underlayment |
 |
| Look at all these extra rocks |
 |
| Another pile of rocks. I like mulch much better because it is too hard to keep a rock garden in Florida |
 |
| The neighbors didn't like this I'm sure. We left a foot of sludge in the gutter that took a month to wash away. There were streaks all over the road for days from people driving through the wet concrete run-off. We took as much as we could up and dumped it in low spots in the back yard where it was eroding. |

This made me mad. We wore through three diamond tipped blades doing the driveway. Now Sunbelt Rentals charged me $100 to replace the blades! Excuse me, but do I have to buy new tires after I rent a car? No!
