But they came today and finished it and we are so excited - hence the forty bazillion pictures in this post.
I've been asked how come we put in a driveway when we're about to leave. Two reasons, really:
1) I suspected that we had so little interest in the house when it was up for sale because potential buyers were driving past and seeing that it had no off-street parking and a double yellow line on our side of the road (no stopping). When we eventually come to sell I believe it will greatly increase saleability to have a driveway.
2) The calibre of rental clients we'll be targeting will expect off-street parking.
So, here are the photos. Again, I apologise for so many pictures but we are excited!

And because we all love a good before-and-after comparison:




They will be returning in March to seal the driveway. Here are the details of the contractor. I highly recommend them. They really care about their work, didn't slack off, were neat and tidy, efficient and friendly, gave great attention to detail and were reliable.
