that sounds pretty reasonable - my concern would be, will the sealant make the driveway slippery in the wet -- this is a VERY steep short drive -- are there particular sealants that don't get slippery that you know of?

thanks so much for you replies. when we originally had the drive done (council done - long story!) it did bleed salts, but this isn't the current issue i have. this really is a all-over consistent 'bleaching' like a fade - to my female eyes it looks as if it needs some lovely moisturisor on it's dry...

that's terrible - defineately looks like a real risk there -- maybe ask for more senior person at council?

hi all - we have a very steep, short driveway that's only a few months old. it has grey tint through it, but looks awful (it's gone pale-like) and we want to coat it with something that will make it look wet, but grip is really important. can anyone share any products that they've used (preferably D...

ebay would be good - i've heard that the demolition guys' quote is based on them recovering stuff before demolishing, though - maybe other forum members could comment on this

thanks for sharing - we'd build with lifestyle, so maybe that might be good. i looked on your blog - house is looking lovely -- what bricks did you use? and what morter/finish -- i can't believe i'm interested in bricks and morter colour etc!!! :o

we're also very keen to build with PD - i gather from the sales people that PD Prestige and PD Lifestyle are very competitive and are completely separate. are some of the complaints regarding PD focused more on Prestige, or they equally valid for PD Lifestyle? do they use the same pool of tradies, o...

for EXTREMELY well priced plants (including native), try Wantirna Market (sunday mornings) -- there are many plant stalls there -- i'm amazed at what fantastic natives i pick up - all $4 - i've seen exact same plants at kuranga for $12+ . if you're in the southeast, just pop on the new eastlink and ...

i used to be a reblocker for many years (many moons ago!). are you talking about redoing the stumps under the floor or under the walls? if it's the floors it's a matter of jacking it up slightly then packing the gap with cement sheeting or other timber cut to bring to fill the gap. if it's under the...

we used solver on our ourdoor steps (their deck paint) and it was TERRIBLE -- peeled, chipped -- I would never, ever touch it again. i did other stairs around the corner at the same time in berger and they have weathered fantastic. i now have to remove it all and redo it :evil:

i think for a really modern look, flat doors (that is no panels at all) with squarer handles and extended door height is great.

wow - we went to ballarat and saw mcmaster homes (http://www.mcmasterhomes.com.au) and were so impressed - a beautiful very modern home. i think they might only build in ballarat though (bummer) - has anyone built with this company here in melbourne or ballarat?
