If I was having a house built, based on what I've seen over the last nine years, I would want my driveway to be made from paving blocks.

Oh don't scoff. Who sees more homes than a homeless binner? In the course of binning for returnable beverage containers in several Vancouver neighbourhhoods, I have not only seen a lot of different homes but I've had the opportunity to see many of them for nine years. And I've noticed how they've held up over that time.

Mind you, I have no experience building anything more complex than a sandwich. So consider what follows accordingly.
