Protecting our rear asphalt driveway by sealing it before winter and finishing the Bame Utility Trailer refresh with Oostra Oak
Posted By RichC on September 17, 2024
It has been a couple years since we added new thin layer of asphalt on top of the existing base layer and it was starting to show signs of cracking at the edges … nothing major, but weed roots are never good. So while it is dry and before winter this year, I decided it might be a good idea to seal it. The quotes came back high and we probably could have comfortably gone another year, but talked to the owner about petroleum prices dropping and he was able to tweak the price for me. So … we’re doing it in 2024.
While finishing up the Bame Utility Trailer refresh, I decide to add a couple coats of leftover Deks Olje that I had on the shelf from years ago (might have been from our first boat, but that doesn’t seem possible?)
Anyway, it should help the pressure treated lumber … and Oostra Oak shorty drop-in tailgate to to last for the rest of my life? FYI, the first presure treated sides and stakes lasted about 25 years without any finish!
It did seem a little overkill to build a NICE drop-in tailgate out or 3/4″ Oak for a utility trailer, but it was a fun mini project. 😊
