RECORD Most hardware and home improve- ated for concrete or asphalt driveways, ment stores offer a variety of sealers ere When selecting a sealer, be sure to choose a product designed specifically for your driveway surface.To apply protective sealer to your driveway, follow these simple do-it-yourself instructions: — Clean the driveway.Use dishwasher detergent and water to remove gas and oil stains.Dirt, weeds and rocks must be extracted from all cracks.The use of a pressure-washer is your best option to thoroughly clean your driveway.Allow the surface adequate time to dry.— Repair cracks.Cracks in your driveway and the products to fill those cracks come in all shapes and sizes.To repair smaller cracks, you can use filler that comes in a can or a dispenser similar to a caulking gun.Larger cracks could require a cold patch material packed tightly into the hole.Allow filler materials adequate time to dry.— Apply sealer.Stir the sealer thoroughly, then pour, brush or spray the protective coating on the driveway.Keep in mind that some sealer manufacturers recommend a light misting of water on the surface as the sealer is applied.Use a push broom, brush, roller or squeegee to spread the sealer.Allow the sealer 24 hours to dry.For best results, you should apply at least two coats of sealer every two to three years.Remember, this project should be performed when the temperature is at least 55 degrees and no rain is expected within 36 hours.Once your driveway is coated with a sealer, stains are easier to clean and cracks caused by severe weather are less likely to occur.ROCH 'ALLIERES TéL: (450) 242-2544 Pi 11, chemin Glen, Bolton-Ouest JOE 1V0 ENTREPRENEUR • Travaux mécanisés • Marteau hydraulique (brise-roc) • Chemins privés • Systèmes septiques • Lacs artificiels • Démolition • Fondation • Drainage • Terrassement brut • Terre - agrégat • Sable - gravier • Pierre des champs CONTRACTOR • Machinery work • Hydraulic hammer (rock breaker) • Private roads • Septic systems • Artificial lakes - ponds • Demolition Foundation • Drainage Land shaping Topsoil - aggregate Sand - gravel • Field stone Speak right from the heart.A donation in memory of a loved one is a gift of hope.it takes just a few minutes.A card will be sent to the bereaved family as a token of your sympathy and generosity.1 888 473-4636 HART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OFQJÉBEC BROME COUNTY NEWS Wednesday, April 16, 2003 page 11 ^M#üHome Renovation BcWU-hL-A.A Find the right person ft»* the job in advertising in our Career Section Many Record readers want a career change and are looking for a new job.Shouldn’t your ad be in The Record’s Career Section?For reservations or further information, please call RECORD 569-9525 Tel, 248-7137 Cell.: 777-8485 page 12 BROME COUNTY NEWS Wednesday, April 16, 2003 Home Renovation Organizing closets LES PAVAGES RACINE EXCAVATION Distributeur Techni-Seal PRODUITS DE QUALITÉ SUPÉRIEURE r7ecJcnalo ÇS p Main Sutton.St.South, FUTURE STEEL BUILDINGS.Durable, dependable, pre-engi-neered, all-steel structures.Custom-made to suit your needs and requirements.Factory-direct, affordable prices.Call 1-888-668-8653, ext.536 for free brochure.GAS POWERED 10 gallon orchard sprayer, $95.Water softener, 2 apt.unit, salt tank separate, used about 4 years, cost $1,200., asking $395.LeClerc weaving loom, 24”, with accessories and bench, $195.Call (819) 876-7494.RECONNECT YOUR PHONE!
