      is this driveway still going? thinking about sealcoating mine, but it's in rough shape. not sure if it's worth it or not.

    Fantastic video. When I first saw this video my first words were " this driveway 100% needs replacement" as a contractor I probably would have passed on it BUT as a homeowner I love seeing this. It gives you a year or 2 to save for a new driveway. You can also take the torch and burn the vegetation (weeds) which could be a lot quicker.
    This is the perfect weekend project for a homeowner and could save you hundreds if not thousands

    Of course you just finished sealing the driveway!! I wouldn't expect you to be chillaxing when you could be improving / repairing something around the house! I would buy audio books if you would record them. We often tell you have much we enjoy the tone of your voice. Take care! Thank you for a fantastic new 'how to do it the right way' vid. ❤️❤️❤️

    Leah…..Thank You. Your voice is my medication. Listening to you soothes my PTSD over active mind. I may never meet you in person but I know you would be someone that would most likely give a smile, a kind word and probably a hug. Knowing this or just believing it gives me inspiration and hope that someone does care for me out there.

      Sorry but that was a complete waste of time and money.
      That driveway isn’t even a candidate for recapping, it needs complete removal and replacement.
      After a few weeks that driveway will look just like it did before it was sealed.

    Spot on video! Kudos to you! Your the only one to point out my secret, no more! Remove a little sealer out of bucket for, yes, sand displacement, most importantly when adding sand, it's creates a sealer slurry, for not only slip resistance like you said but most importantly, it FILLS the alligator cracks. Most people your paying take 3 buckets of sealer, take 1/4 out of each into another bucket, add water to all and make 4 buckets and gives you a not so nice watered down sealer and makes them more money!

      You can put a coat of paint on anything. Seal coats don't fix anything. They only preserve what you've got. That driveway will look like hell in a year - the weeds will come right back. Better just to rip it out, fix the subbase and drainage, and build it to last.
