    Oh dear Lynn, what a nightmare for you both, it was a big job anyway but it soon turned into a gigantic job, good job you got it sorted. It really was fascinating to watch those guys laying the tarmac it’s an intense job much more to it than I thought but didn’t they work well together. It’s looking lovely now, and what a big space you have, it looks a beautiful house. Must give a shout out to Harvey, what a worker, don’t go over doing it Harvey , you deserve a pint or three after all that hard work. Bless him, what would we do without them hey Lynn.😊

      Yes it was a nightmare at the time, but we got there in the end. I enjoyed watching the guys lay the drive, they were like a well oiled machine. Very dirty work though, and the rain ☔️ torrential at timed. Thank you, we like living here, but now, at our age we are trying to become maintenance free at the front as far as possible. Yes he’s very good, and I’m very lucky to have him ❤️🥰❤️

    Wow Lynn!!! What a transformation to your driveway but what a problem Harvey found. It was horrendous. But you dealt with it all so calmly which was wonderful. The timing was good really. Imagine if the tarmac had been laid and had to be dug up again. Thank goodness that didn’t happen. But what a mess. Still it looks amazing now and your house is lovely too. Harvey is a good guy. It was a lot of work. I’ve only just found this video. I didn’t realise you’d posted it. It was very interesting. I’m so pleased that you’re happy with your drive now anyway. Xx 🙂🙂

      Hi Carole, yes that’s how we’re looking at it, lucky that we found it before. It’s so much nicer now, we’re just finishing off a few jobs in between bad weather, and then that’s it till after Christmas. Oh really, RUclips should have notified you, I think they miss sometimes, but not to worry, you found it anyway. Thank you very much, we like it ❤️

    Oh Lynn followed this leak from start to finish and cannot believe how much hard work it took to locate it. Harvey worked so hard but it had to be found so that you could progress with your plans. The tarmac men worked so well together and gave me a great insight into how a drive is laid and how much goes into it. You now have the perfect finish to enjoy and can't wait to see the finished project. You should be very proud of yourselves how you have handled the nightmare . still filmed and kept so cheerful. Well done❤

    • @Nanna-M

When you get to our age, you’ve learned that getting stressed doesn’t change anything, it just makes it all worse, so I take a deep breath and crack on lol ❤️❤️❤️

What an amazing video though. Never thought the,guys,worked,so hard and so conscientiously as they did removing all the tar from your cobbles. It was good to see Thanks for such an insight into your drama. Take care Lynn. It must be the tough Yorkshire upbringing that gets us through these disasters lol

    I found it staggering that the water board is not responsible for all of the work. At the end of the day it’s their pipe, however I have received insurance paperwork in relation to pipe work in case there was a leak which would not be water boards responsibility. You never think it will happen to you. Crazy but what a great drive it will be once completed. Lovely house Lynn with great frontage. Take care xx

    It looks very smart now Lynn, after all the drama. We had our drive re tarmaced some years ago, would have preferred resin finish but it was out of our price range unfortunately. My husband and myself have always done a lot off the renovations in our different properties over the years but now in our late seventies we are getting less able to do big jobs sadly. We do still do projects in the garden though, he is making a new garden arbour with a seat at the moment keeps him from under my feet. Ha ha.

    What a job Lynn!! Thank goodness the busted pipe was finally found before too long. That water was just gushing out of there like crazy. So glad it didn't create a sink hole, what a mess that would have been. God bless you hubby what a back breaking job. I know you both will be so glad to have it all done. Seems when you start a major project, things rarely go smoothy. I guess it always best to expect the unexpected. It was interesting watching the men work and seeing the process of how it's all done. When the spring comes around again, I need to do power washing around my house also. I love power washing though. It is satisfying watching the transformation getting all the dirt and grime washed away in an instant. All the best to you and hubby for the rest of the project. Hope the rest goes a lot more smoothly. See you soon lovely lady.💕💕💕

    • @Nanna-M
      @Nanna-M  10 месяцев назад

      Oh I know, it could have been so dangerous if it was left undetected, did you see the massive cavern it had made, and the thing is, if the concrete hadn’t corroded under the flags that we took up, we never would have uncovered the manhole, so we wouldn’t have heard the water, and we’d have just put tarmac down, so in a way we have been very lucky. Oh we’re used to small jobs turning into majors, it’s nothing new for us hahaha 😂 I really was fascinated with how it all just worked, like a well,oiled machine, every one working together, knowing exactly what to do, amazing, it’s not often you see such workmanship, and dedication these days. Oh I’m the same, I absolutely love power washing, I get frustrated with Harvey because he’s that quick he misses bits, I can’t watch lol . Thank you sweetheart lady ❤️❤️❤️

From what I saw not a lot of back and forth talking just moving on doing what they knew to do and doing so very well. You lucked out there for sure. haha, you need to be Harvey's supervisor. God bless him, he seems to be very hands on and that's not a bad thing for sure. Well sweet lady I'm so glad it's all done and for the most part, you can now sit back and relax a bit before the next big project. @@Nanna-M ♥❣❣❤

    What a nightmare for you both, you have a lovely home. The drive looks amazing , so fresh and tidy. We have 😮monoblock which was lovely when it was done but over the years it has lost the original colour with us power washing it. I know you said your wall comes up nice in the summer but not sure if you or your husband have heard of Wet and Forget, you just dilute it spray it on and leave it. It works up to 12 months. You don’t see the difference straight away but it starts to work gradually, it is amazing, we use it on our wall and flagstones.
