I don't remember if I mentioned this earlier, but when we bought 21 West Lane, it didn't come with a driveway or parking spaces. This is extremely problematic, especially because it's illegal to park on the street during the winter (the plow wouldn't be able to clear the streets otherwise). There was already a large gate at the back of the property, but wasn't set up in a way that made it easy for two cars to park in the back yard, plus, even if we did park in the back yard, we didn't want to be parking on the grass. Luckily we had all of this extra gravel...
Well, it took a day or so to do some repairs to the fence and gate, and to move the fence around a bit to allow two cars to pass through, and then about 60 or 70 wheelbarrows full of gravel, but we built ourselves a driveway. We edged it with some nice looking stones (the same ones we used around the garden out front), and installed a small herb garden in the back corner. It was brutally hard work, but well worth it.
