I sealed my asphalt driveway last weekend after putting it off since I moved into my house in 2021. The before and after is like night and day, the cracks were getting bad enough that weeds were popping up every spring. I used two 5-gallon buckets of a sealer from Lowe's and it took me about 4 hours total. Has anyone else noticed how much difference a simple seal coat makes or is it just me?
For like 8 years I lived in apartments with dishwashers and never questioned them. Ran everything through, even cast iron pans (yeah I know now lol). Then I moved into this old house in Pittsburgh back in March and the kitchen is tiny, no dishwasher at all. First week I was miserable about it. But after a few months I actually prefer it now. I can get a whole sink of dishes done in 10 minutes instead of waiting for a cycle. And weird thing is I use way less water. Has anyone else made the switch and felt the same or am I just coping?
