So I have come home this morning and obviously had a look at the work the builders had done this week on next doors drive ….. There is a short wall at the top of the driveway, about three foot in length. They seem to have cordoned off part of the top of the driveway….by the garage doors. The rest of the drive is still on an incline …..it appears that they have just taken the tarmac off the top ….i can see storage cartons of bricks, which obviously for the drive …..but it is not what we were told. They said because of their bad knees they were having the drive flat then steps up to the doors. The ten inches that they had of our land has just been left. It does look a bit odd but we can sort that out. It will be interesting to see exactly what they are doing with the drive ….and how it will look when it’s finished.

There are so many things like that. I remember watching Bob Ross paint and wondering, "Where is this going?" Several times thiking, "Oh no." And then at the very end going, "Oh, wow."

@traceyjayne Putting in steps because they’ve got bad knees? Daft. How will they climb the steps?

@xFiacre it is very odd. What they have done so far looks very strange.

That’s what I thought …..he goes out walking several times a day on a steeper incline than the drive anyway ! Surely steps will be worse on the knees.

I hope, when they get done, that it works for them and isn't a problem for you. I just sent a text to our landlady, telling her about the air conditioner the neighbors put on our side of the property line. I don't know what, if anything she'll say or do about it.

Be great if you could show us what it looks like when it's done I am hopeless at envisaging stuff like this
