better then parking on dirt. :shrug: and we have more brick then what we know what to do with :shrug:

my dad broke his foot. ( not driving the mustang for him anymore ) and is in cincy for the weekend and has wanted to do this for weeks but with his foot he cant. so he left at 5 am today and i started at 6 am.

2 tons of compact able gravel. spread it out then compacted it. went to sunbelt told them i was from the civic association..got a weird look and he gave me the 50% off price :D 20 is better then 40 :shrug: then 1 ton of sand. 1 inch thick.

anyway. pic. im not done. but im done for today. im tired. i got alot of cutting of bricks to do tomm :notnice: when he gets back monday he better be happy or imma be pissed :fuss: atleast a thank you or something. and the gutter sitting there is only temp. were going to get rain and i dont want the water washing over it. tomm after the cuts i need to put sand on top and vi berate it all in to lock it all together. fun fun.

and yes. it slopes. away fromt he garage in both directions..(dont want water to sit.)

see what i mean by more brick then what we know what to do with!
 
Looking good. Nice to be able to park aside the garage and still get both cars out. I had more room at my parents for that than at my house. I just have to put my left front tire on the grass....which is now a circle of dirt...hehe
 
if he's not happy with it, you need to reverse the roles in your relationship. have a sit down conversation with him. kinda like this. look dad i put alot of time and effort to do this and to have it look great as a gift to you for all the help you have given me. i am sadly dissapointed that you are not appreciating what i have done. NO GO TO YOUR ROOM, NO DINNER FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!:mad:
