Two weeks ago the driveway mouth was poured, and what a difference.

Here it is being formed …

… and poured …

… and here is the final product.

We wanted to put our kids hand prints in it, but the inspector said no.  However, he did say we could put a stamp of some sort, like contractors used to.  I happened to have a relief version of our family crest, which we pushed into the wet cement.

Unfortunately, when it was dry and we power-washed off the top to give it that etched concrete look, a lot of the relief went away.  But in the right light, you can still see it.
