512 Feet
You guys have heard me say over and over that our driveway is really long and steep, but I have never been able to say exactly how long it is.
Till now. Our contractor friend Bill brought over his neato wheeled measuring thingy. We’re considering paving the drive to help stabilize it and make it easier to drive up and down. To help him estimate what paving would cost, Bill needed a measurement. He drove down the driveway hanging out the door of his truck, holding the measuring wheel to the ground. The official length: 512 feet.
512 feet!!
512 feet is 89.04 times my own height (but only 79.79 times Conal’s).
512 feet is 1.42 football fields (outside dimension).
512 feet is the height of the Williamsburg Bank Building, the tallest building in Brooklyn and one of the two tallest on Long Island.
Sh’yeah. And you guys thought I was just whining about how long the thing was. I will have no more rolling of eyes when I ramble on a bit about the looooong driveway, ya hear?
