This is my driveway - my brand new driveway. Not that I was really sentimental about my driveway like a wacko - but once it was covered in TAR tire marks - I was sad and really missed my nice clean driveway. The city decided to RETAR our street - without so much as a warning or a headsup to anyone who lives on this street. I turned our corner and suddenly found myself on very fresh TAR. And with the kids in the car I couldnt see any way around NOT pulling into my driveway so I could get them in the house and out of the 111 degree heat. WHO PUTS TAR DOWN IN 111 DEGREES ANYWAY?!?!?!
SO - this happened 9 days ago...and I have been staring at it for 9 days with my anger growing everyday. So finally - today was only 95 so I gave it try to clean it up on my own. Supplies: Mineral Spiritys, scrub brush, scraper, sand, and a pressure washer from a neighbor who saw me scrubbing and felt sorry for me. TWO HOURS later I had about a 5 foot section SOMEWHAT cleaned up.
So I decided to give it a rest and sent a very unfriendly email to the city for some help. Im not a big complainer - but with THREE little ones I will NEVER find enough time to clean all this up on our own and the whole situation could have been avoide if the city had been courteous enough to give us SOME KIND of warning!
Sigh...Im calming down.
