Has anyone done this before? Any tips? Is there any way of making the job easier instead of paying someone else?

I did a quick google and found this:
-get a big squeegie, brushes, detergent, and sealer
-for sealer there are 3 types (in ascending order of quality): asphalt, refined coal, and manmade polymer stuff

Make sure it's 50 degrees or higher,

1.) clean the driveway w' detergent and a thick-bristled brush, sweep it, and power wash it
2.) fill in whatever size cracks w' the appropriate sealer, wait however long it takes to dry (usually a day)
3.) start from one corner, use a large squeegee, and work w' small 10'x10' sections, and evenly-spread (not to thick or thin) sealer over the driveway
4.) wait a few days for it to dry

Anything else to it?

Anyone want to do my parent's driveway?

The warmer the better, let the driveway dry, and make sure it isn't going to rain. You're basically painting the driveway. Wear clothes (including shoes and socks) you can throw away when you're done. If the sun is out, it will be hotter then hell, and make sure not to paint yourself into a corner. Good Luck...

oh man, i did this at an airport way back in '98. Wear crappy shoes, cuz no matter how careful you are, you'll get it on yer feet.

There's really not a whloe lot to it, just kinda sucks that's all. I think the way I did it was I just poured a nice even line about 6" wide and squeegied in the direction of the line but w/ the squeegie at a 45* angle.

its fairly simple....
and sort of idiot proof.... i did it for my family when i was 10 yo.. every 3 years resealing it.

even i could do it.

It's just messy as hell, but the steps you've got are right.

Just like anything else... it's all in the prep work.

If you've got a lot of sand in/on your pavement try to get it out.
