Well the man came and levelled the driveway
His brief was to lift the gravel, lay more limestone chippings to level the drive, then spread the gravel back over the top. 7 cubic metres of limestone, for which he had already been paid 1000 euros.
He came, he dug, he dumped, he levelled, he spread, he rollered and now it is all looking level and nice and pink.
There isn't actually enough gravel to cover all the driveway. He reckons that before the houses in front were built there was plenty, and that the heavy vehicles have probably spread it all over greater Pessac. However he also reckons that the gravel isn't vital - it just makes it look prettier and cleaner, and to dump a lorryload of gravel over the top would cost 600 euros, so I said we would consider it once the houses are finished. And we will. And I know what our answer will be. Maybe the neighbour behind will want it done. I am not bothered. We have gravel at the end of the driveway by the house anyway. And I quite like the pink.
