Here's where the magic starts

The massive pile of lumber arrived today.  My wife hobbled out (recent knee surgery) to the site though and documented the scene.  We are pretty excited as it seems that things reallt start picking up once you get the lumber.  I wanted to share one of the best tips I read about recently from Sgt. Rich's blog the other day and got a great piece of advice about widening the 16 foot driveway to 20 feet.

Quote of the original text; "-HUGE TIP....Work a deal with the concrete guys to push the width of the driveway to the edges of the garage (approx. and additional 2' on each side).  We paid $300 on the side to the concrete guys to do this.  I cannot explain how great that additional 2' on each side is."  


Unfortunately my PM said this was not possible.  The contractors are not allowed to do additional work and the housing permits were only for the driveway I'm getting.  BUMMER!
