Excellent replies!
I have a long list of crap I want to do with my home. I plan on retiring in late ‘24.
Reclaiming my garage is in progress and expanded parking has been a “want” for quite some time. I’m not in an HOA and plenty of cars park on the street. Doing my part to reduce what I can. I have 4 vehicles, one in in my back yard, another is in the pic, my minivan, then my son’s defunct Gen 1 Outback. But that’s for another thread.
I have RV gates on both sides of my home. And acually, there’s an RV in my yard now.
They leave next week.
Back on topic…
You guys are right, expanding to the right looks prolly awful. But I really like the paver, with cement walkway framing it.
But to the left is more aesthetically pleasing. There’s already an RV gate so makes sense.
I guess what it came down to it time/money.
Cement to the right means zero extra work. 2 days, DONE. Next project!
But to the left means 3x the cement, then sidewalk modification. Much more $$
Had not even considered the paver option.
And I agree the car parked right in front of the home would be weird, but several homes here do it. It’s no so bad, but it ain’t really that good.
