Hey guys, I'm trying to find a better product to seal a stamped concrete walkway. It looks like red pavers with the concrete edging making it look like pavers. The original contractor wanted me to use TIAH: [url=http://www.wrmeadows.com/wrm00024.htm]Tiah Acrylic Concrete Sealer[/url] It lasts for about a year, then fades pretty bad. One time I did a reseal before waiting long enough after pressure washing and had a real bad blush, so had to strip that and start over. But when done properly, I am still onlygetting a year out of a reseal before it looks bad again. Wondering if someone knows of a better product. It is used just a small amount, we normaly use the door inside the garage to enter the house. I am careful with it, normally any snow removal is done by hand with an all-plastic shovel. It is not blushed now, just looking dull. Gilly

Hey everyone. I have a quick question in regards to an outdoor brick patio. I'll be using the basket weave design and in only rectangular shapes so no cutting needed :) But I am tossed about whether or not to run the patio all the way up against the foundation of the house or not. I'd prefer to for visual reasons, but I've also heard that it is good to leave space for drainage. Any suggestions out there? Thanks in ahead.
