This happened back in April and I am now getting around to posting.
As you may recall from the "Chores" post, the city cited me for a dirty driveway and then after I cleaned it, they cited me for a weathered driveway and a stained wall on the front of my house. The driveway wasn't worth repairing since they tried doing that when we bought the house. It lasted about a year and then started eroding again. We had to take the texture completely off down to the bare concrete.
Now for the stained wall, our sprinkler system runs off well water so there are a lot of metals in the well water. These metals stain everything the sprinkler water touches. Just look at any building in Florida and you'll notice. We decided to completely remove the front garden and be done with having to water it. There was nothing growing in the "garden" anyway. We'll fill it in with cement and make a front porch with some planters or something later.
So here is the visual journal.

| See the missing texture |

| The concrete is worn and you can tell the original color of the driveway was gray |
 |
| Missing patches of texture everywhere |
 |
| See the staining and all of the stuff growing is wild |
