Short, Fat Driveway - be careful what you wish for

Our former house had a really long driveway that meandered its way down to the back of the house. What a pain to shovel the snow!   Consequently, one of my top priorities was to move to a place with a short, fat driveway.  Ha ha.  Be careful what you wish for!





The middle part of the photo is the communal driveway. Four houses share this driveway. To the left is our teeny, tiny driveway. You'd need to be on roller blades to enter the garage, that is if you don't want to bang into anything. It is a two car garage, but with such a tight turn around to get in...well you get the gist.

Time to speak up and complain BEFORE purchasing the house. What to do?  Hmm. Well, to the right they added and extra four feet. So, all added up, our teeny, tiny driveway, the communal driveway and the added bit, come to 24 feet in length. They're supposed to come back next year and put another coat of asphalt, that way everything should like nicer? 

We're the new kids on the block. We're the new kids on the block with the smallest driveway in the whole subdivision.
