thanks guys. Yeah, I definitely want to do something with the gravel driveway, as it's been a weeded nightmare this summer. I guess the previous owners got a quote to concrete the driveway and it was $18k so I'm not sure that that's an option. :hs: I'm thinking I can get it asphalted for about $4k although brickwork or pavers would look ballin'.

Concrete is crazy expensive because China is buying it all up. pavers would be even more expensive.. Do you know the square footage of the area??

For reference, I had something like 11 yards of concrete and with labor (the mehico hookup) I paid 15k. I was quoted 20-30k for the work.

Another option would be just to asphalt or paver or concrete the large portion right by the garage and lay two strips of concrete from the street to the pad. It would cut down a lot of yardage.

Since we recently moved I'll post both the old one and the new one.

This is our house before we moved, my parents built it and it's where I spent most of my childhood (3rd grade to college)
[SPOILER="big pic"][/SPOILER]

This is the new house, built in 1952 abandoned for 2 years before we moved in. This pic is several months old, since it was taken we replaced all the windows, the roof and had a major overhaul inside. I don't have any new pics but it's 100 times better than the condition it was in when we bought it.

I don't know how much longer I'll be living with my rents so pretty soon it's gonna be some apartment picture

When we first visited it was so creepy, because the 92 year old guy that built that house and died in it still had all his stuff lying around. :ugh:

There's tons of bats on the property too...
