Finally, Andre has been able to get at the yard before the snow arrives. The driveway has received a good grading and layer of crushed screening, so it will be easy to maintain through the winter. It's much nicer to drive up on already. The remnants of construction waste have been sorted, donated or disposed of. The overhang of the garage has been cleared and will provide shelter for a vehicle.
The trees that were whacked by the excavator during the site-work have been all cleaned up, so no more dead or ugly broken branches hanging around. (And coincidentally just in-time for Christmas decor as I now have large piles of pine and cedar boughs at my disposal.)
The screened gazebo has been dismantled and moved from down by the trailer and the trailer is expected to leave in the next few days, so in the next couple of weeks it will almost be normal around here. Yeah! And tomorrow we retrieve his father's snow blower which has been kindly donated to the cause. This is a welcome gift as we had a small single car city driveway that our plastic shovel could handle.
