I would like to seal my driveway before next winter but there is no
way I can lift a 5 gallon container of the stuff. I am wondering if
anyone here knows where I can obtain driveway sealant in smaller
containers, probably 2 gallons max., as the most I should be lifting
is 30 pounds? I realize I'll pay more for the same quantity in
smaller containers, but it's still much cheaper than back surgery.

Note that I'm located in southern NH.

Thanks for your help.

Larry, if you're too weak to lift the containers, you're going to
collapse on the job. Head for the gym. Weight training works
wonders. I lifted in my teens which carried me into my 50s when I
started again. I got much stronger the second time. Now I'm
maintaining with running and swimming in my late 60s.

Lifting a few 5 gallon containers, no problem, bring it on.


Did you ever think he has a medical issue Dan??? Why did you assume
it's a weakness issue? A list of medical issues resulting in lifting
restrictions would be too long and boring.

A bit back I had eye surgery. I had lifting restrictions in the
20-30lb range even though I was perfectly capable of lifting buckets
of drywall mud and 80lb bags of concrete.


Yes, that's right. Eye surgery, Dan.
