We have a driveway that is 650+ feet down to the road. It is graveled and STEEP. Happily, we don’t have any trouble getting down our driveway and up again, but some people do. It’s particularly bad when we have had the combination of lots and lots of rain and delivery trucks trying to get up and down.
We’ve been in bad shape now for several months now.
We used to have a wonderful man, Tommy Sandifer, who came and used his tractor to smooth things out for us. He became very ill and was unable to help us anymore, but his son, Eric, took over for him and helps us from time to time. Eric is extremely busy though, and bringing a tractor out to help us is time-consuming and costly for him.
We called several weeks ago, asking Eric for help again. A combination of his being too busy and our rain storms have caused lots of delays.
We were delighted to hear our driveway alarm going nuts, showing a guy on a tractor there to heal our driveway – but the BEST part was that it was our original man, Tommy, the father! It’s been over 2 years since he felt well enough to help us. My husband and I both shook his hand and told him how happy we were to see him. He said he doesn’t get out much now, but he felt well enough to come and help us this morning. He proudly showed us the new blade he got to go on the back of the tractor.
My husband and I just went down the driveway to get our mail and test the driveway fix. It is beautiful!
I’m happy our driveway is much easier to negotiate now, but I’m happier that Tommy seems to be doing well. :0)
