Looks great! I used smart seal on my driveway, great product. One thing I would have advised is to have applied a clear coat (x2), smart seal do this in gloss or matte, though you can get a much cheaper one from screw fix. The clear coat essentially seals the drive in the condition it is in now, and helps to prevent sun damage and weeds penetrating into the joint compound. This makes maintaining the drive much easier and you can brush, wash or blow any debris off before it has chance to establish 👍

Should have painted the lot 3 times with gray not worrying about going over the bits that you were eventually going to paint black. As the black is darker than the gray it doesnt matter and then go round with the brush when all the gray is dried and paint the black on. Cracking job tho it looks brilliant

Nice finish boys. Looks new now, was half asleep when I come across the video and I thought you'd said you laid the drive a week ago 😂 I didn't want to be harsh but I thought that's rough as f**k 😂. Rewatched the beginning then realized. Anyway cracking job, but remember about using noisy equipment before 8am, I only say it as I've had noise abatement orders on my company before by irate neighbours, and if they see you back at same street, they will jump on it mate 🙄.

whenever we painted black gloss etc, grey was always the colour of the undercoat, baffled me when you didn't paint everything grey first off. Just could have picked the black out then at the end after the grey had been second coated. Would have saved you so much messing about lol Still, i'll never understand why people paint floors in the first place, better off using a cleaning solution soaking in and jetwashing it all clean afterwards. Imagine jetwashing that stonework when the dirt settles now with paint on it! Will look tatty fast i think

if you are using a leaf blower at 6:30 in the morning not only are you pissing off the neighbours you are probably breaking the law as well. Most councils in the UK consider anything before 8am to be an anti social noise violation if it is not an emergency repair.

@LarkspeedNL From the Scottish law... The permitted noise levels will be determined by order from the Scottish Ministers. Recent research (McKell, 2004) has identified the objectively measured day, evening and night time permitted noise levels. The time periods and corresponding permitted noise levels have been defined as follows:- • Daytime 07.00 - 19.00 hours LAeq 41dB • Evening 19.00 - 23.00 hours LAeq 37dB • Night-time 23.00 - 07.00 hours LAeq 31dB. .... Seems pretty much everywhere sees 11pm to 7am is considered night. Leaf blower a 6.30 am deserves a slap.

You could have tried running a wide tape run around the edge of the grass, keeps any dust or dirt going on your paint work, grey everywhere then the black boarder. grey is usually used as an undercoat so best to do first, a tarp and small roller will save time to. great job guys 👍🏻

By the way, should you look at the bag 's seal (that string that is used to prevent the content coming out) you will see that you can undo the string. The end that you go to is normally on the right (as you look at the writing). Try that. Those bags are stronger & once you master the art of opening those bags that will save you having to cut the bag. I'm only telling you this because you look like someone that likes things neat & tidy.
