Title: Painting concrete driveways
Post by: 4D on Thursday, July 5, 2012, 13:45:23
I'm on a roll  :D

I want to extend a piece of the driveway on my property, the area that I want to match up with is tarmac. I don't really want to go to the expense and hassle of tarmaccing a 15m2 area - I might concrete it and use some specialist concrete paint (in semi-matt black). Has anyone done anything like this before? Is it going to look shite?

Ta.

Wondered how long it would take!! :)

Is there any real benefit to buying expensive loo roll or is it all just a con?

Expensive bog roll just wipes out your wallet.

Since April we've had the following 4D delights:

Painting concrete driveways
Showers
TV Socket installation
Leaking showers
Gas and electric safety certificate
Estate agent fees
Mortgages
TV, phone & Broadband packages
Gift ideas for a best man
Phone tariffs
Swapping houses
Moving a hot water tank
Building and construction
Beds
Transferring text messages
Nokia 700 or Galaxy Y/Ace/Mini
Ideas for a Birthday Present
Baxi Boiler
Vodafone

From all of this I conclude that he's a bit of a dunce that hasn't got a clue about DIY, technology or buying gifts.

I've had a lot on to be honest - I still didn't think it was that much though  :D

Credit to the TEF though, it's a useful place for gauging opinion and ideas.

I'm no dunce though, ask FLASH - I've met him and bought one of his T-shirts.....Oh, hang on  :doh:

I am a bit of a technology dunce though (being over 12 years of age).

Personally I think 4D is a legend and a genius - he gets us all talking about other things other than "I like Connell, I rate Connell, I don't like Connell, I don't rate Connell" (and repeat)

Its defiantly keeping the general board going whilst we don't have to talk about due the end season

If you want to know the time, ask a police man.

I recognise the irony in me posting this on this forum on a Thursday evening - but perhaps 4D has no family or mates to ask for advice?

Live teh dream :nod:

That's a pretty sad list* but what's troubling me slightly Samdy is the fact that not only had you taken notice of all those threads, but you knew who had started them :hmmm:





*No, actually it's a desperately sad fucking list :no:
