Looking for a good excuse to be lazy here- a couple of my neighbors have
just redone theirs DIY, and are making me feel guilty about the state of
mine. 20x60, with maybe 50?feet of wide cracks needing sealing before
the 'paint' goes on. Strolled through BorgA and BorgB looking at prices,
and it looks like about 100 bucks for the mid-range material and
expendable tools, for 1200 sq. ft. coverage. (with natch, half a bucket
left over.)

Monkey wrench is that part of driveway is rather steep, so I am paranoid
about making it more slippery than it already is. (8' rise over the 60
feet, most of it in the middle third.) Already killed one transmission
slip-sliding away on here last couple of winters.

They wouldn't even let me fingerpaint as a kid- anything with killer
mess potential like this, I tend to have oopsies. What can I say- I'm a
klutz. I realize stuff like this is regional as hell, but has anyone on
here in Great Lakes part of country had theirs done lately? I'd like at
least medium quality and lifespan- not used motor oil and kerosene, but
not somebody so fussy that I may as well get it repaved.
