Well since the last time I posted, our driveway has been completed! Eric was able to put the whole driveway together in a quick turnaround time (3 days in total really) and we have an apron... of 20 feet. We aren't completely pleased with the apron, so the people that did it originally are due to come back and fix it. We think they put it down cold so it's a bit crumbly and bumpy, and that's not what we were looking for.
In any case, the driveway was considered finished almost 2 weeks ago. I asked the town to send out the road agent to sign off on the road bond being complete. Of course, I can't expect much from this road agent seeing that he doesn't like to work WITH people. They have yet to get back to me on the status of the road bond. It's really starting to tick me off, so I sent another (4th or 5th) message to the town rep that I use and asked him what the status was and that I would like to pick up the check from the lawyers office tomorrow since all obligations have been fulfilled. If there was a question about the apron, it's there, and I even had Mike shovel it off on Tuesday in case the road agent hadn't looked at it yet.
The best part is, I have before and after pictures. The road is completely untouched, which is why I'm starting to push harder on the road bond. We gave them the road bond within two days, so I expect to be treated fairly and have the same turnaround time that we gave them. It's only respectful. That being said, I told the town contact that I will be going to the lawyers office tomorrow to pick it up, and if it's not ready then, I will have my Mom pick it up on Monday. I'm done playing this game, especially when this money is due to Eric. It's not fair for him to be waiting on the town when the road is in the exact same condition it was before he even started.
That's my spiel. I'll let you know how it goes after I visit the lawyer tomorrow!
