Removed the woodshed access ramp and hauled it down to the shop for repair and repainting.  The ramp detaches from the woodshed by removing five easily accessible lag screws.  Spent the rest of the day sealing somewhat over half the driveway, parts of my arms and legs, most of my shoes, and all of my hands.  Before applying the sealer, needed to pressure wash the driveway.  In order to reach the Lake Dunmore Road end of the drive, 400+ feet from the house, had to borrow both Kate’s and Merry’s water hoses, plus break into Delores to retrieve her holdings.  It turns out that the manufacturer (Gardner-Gibson, Inc. which, amazingly, is actually a U.S. company), knows what they’re talking about when they say one bucket of sealer will cover ≈300 square feet of driveway.  Thus far I’ve used 9 buckets, which means that I’ve bought almost twice as much sealer as will be needed.  Of course!
