Resealed Driveway

I realize that most people would never care enough to try this, but I have to write about our project of a couple weeks ago.
Our driveway/front sidewalk is 2 1/2 years old and is intended to be a brownish concrete with colored stone strips. It, however, did not turn out the way we envisioned. It is several lighter shades of tan, and basically looks like a sick grey concrete. I suppose we should've not had it colored in the first place, but I wanted it to match the house, blend well with the landscape, and look classy. It kinda doesn't.
I thought if I cleaned it really well and put a sealer on it to make it appear wet, that it would perhaps brighten it up a bit.
So I went out and bought some of this stuff.

Then I rented one of these.

Then I woke up this guy.

And made him work for a few hours.

And the murky driveway looks a little better. Not much, but a little more definition of color was a good thing.

Here is a shot of the front walkway from the entry towards the drive.

Only thing is .....  if he did the work, why did my feet turn out like this.

I had very swollen and red toes and feet. After the first day at least I wised up and added a little sunscreen all the way down to the toes. They have just finished peeling now, two weeks later, and I had a nice pedi today.

On a sidenote, we now have a very clean garage. A power washer on the premises makes you think of all sorts of things to clean. 

Look at that amazingly clean epoxied floor.  (It has rained a few times since this beautiful picture was taken, so the floor quickly became soiled - albeit  still looks quite nice, I may say)
The car in the background .....

... now center, is never very dirty.  The Hubby makes sure of that.
