In the past we have left this work towards the end of the build. Afterwards, it is very hard to get volunteers to “go back” and do these outdoor tasks. Although, in our defense, the last few months, it has been impossible to do any landscaping. Rather than wait for the first youth camp to come and landscape House #122 and #124, we will be utilizing the Job Corps as soon as weather permits.
With the driveway poured before major construction begins on the house it will get us somewhat out of the mud and we will have a level, dry area in which to set up tools, unload materials, etc. It will also make for a safer situation in getting in and out of the house. And in cases where we are not supposed to turn around in other people’s driveways, we can turn around in our own.

This is a great idea. I can't begin to tell ya how often I come home with a pound or two of mud caked on to my shoes.
