New Front Entrance

The concrete on our driveway was breaking up and was way past needing replacement. As seen in the pictures below the sidewalk to the front door was also broken up and sinking.


This spring we arranged for a contractor to take out the existing concrete and make a new concrete driveway and front sidewalk. This was done at the beginning of June while we were away on our trip to the US.  We also got the concrete front step removed so for several weeks we used the back door until the new front steps and deck could be completed.  
 
As shown in the picture the concrete front step has been replaced with a new front deck and stairs with composite decking material and white aluminum railing.   We have been using it for a while but part of the railing was on back order.  Then with us being away at camp and then the contractor being on holidays last week, we finally got the railing complete this week. We also found a white aluminum mailbox to replace the old black one.  We are pretty excited about how the new front entrance turned out.  And of course we are very happy to finally have our new driveway.
