I would like to freshen up the appearance of the tarmacadam drive
outside
my
house but can't find anything specifically for that purpose in the likes
of
B&Q etc.

Given the nature of the surface and the wear it gets (probably) I would
suggest that paints are probably going to look a bit cr*p after a while
too.
You could try painting with bitumen, after all that's what's dried off the
surface since it was laid. I would suggest a test area first.

Thanks Bob,
I honestly hadn't thought of that - I suppose I had always thought of tar
being poured from a boiling vat which is something I don't have!!. It's back
to B&Q then to see what they have in cold tar applications. Maybe I'm
getting hold of the wrong members of staff but no-one suggested that option
to me during my last visit. As for having finished all the jobs in the
house - if only that were so.
I think its probably an avoidance tactic to avoid getting to grips with
other things!
