Great thorough video. I am about to tackle my steps. Following your video. I got this. Marines don’t fail.

[@bobscaping]

Love that mud-mixing drill bit, very handy, literally! 🤓

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

👍 Your presence was there at the 17:30 mark 😊

[@saleemahi]

I appreciate you doing this video

[@jlatnyc]

Great video Steve. Maybe some wire mesh on the top step would've been a good idea. But love the thorough video 👍🏽

[@cgungm]

Thank you! I have a much smaller scale repair job involving vertical side of concrete steps. I found your video very informative! I subscribed and look forward to watching more!

[@michaelhartman851]

A trick I do to make sack concrete finish much easier with more cream on top is sprinkle some straight cement or spec mix just on the surface, it gives plenty of extra cream for a great finish.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Thanks 🙏 that’ll help with this quickcrete crap 😆

Great content!

I be doing repair on a couple of steps, the bullnose, but they are square.. I was told about using tapcons, and bonding agents or adhesives.....He said I could use top and bond patch. what is your thought on that or should I use something else... Thanks I appreciate it... Those stairs you did came out great, like night and day...

[@thomasnisbett]

Do you have any advice about what to do before patching with cement if the steps are painted and the paint is also flaking off?

[@MrMisterrossie]

What exactly is the advantage of using the tapcons here? Why does the concrete need something to grap onto

[@GrammarPoliceInvestigations]

Yes

[@Sonofapizzaman1]

It's like using mini rebar. Concrete doesn't do a good job of sticking to older concrete, so the adhesive adds some retention and the screws give it a mechanical hold.

[@stevonkoch8002]

mine are not as bad could i use a faster setting concrete and do without a form?

[@GrammarPoliceInvestigations]

They'll be all out of square and very noticeable.

[@michiganporter]

What do you do aabout the tapcon holes? Fill em with the mortar?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Yep with the structural mortar 👍 good point, you don’t want water going into those either

[@lorirosa2255]

I think he should've started top to bottom that way the holes would've been filled in on the way down. Although would've took a lil more lumber.

[@lorirosa2255]

The holes will fill with water and ice and will expand making cracks

[@michiganporter]

I redid a few steps in an outdoor pool once and its still holding up 4 years later! Similar set up, had to use foam on the edges to hold the mud in cuz its all curved but honestly it was a piece of cake!

[@bgood3244]

Did you screw the tap one all the way in or did you leave them sticking out a bit?

[@pauldeanda4985]

They are suppose to be left out a bit depending on how thing the patch will be.

[@truththroughchrist91]

Hey brother, love your work! Very thorough and can tell you love what you do! Just a quick question, what type of knee pads do you have in this video? God Bless!

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Pro knees 0714 👍 best investment ever amzn.to/3wnU2iD

[@speedracer2336]

Ever heard of rapid set?

[@stevonkoch8002]

okay finished video think the structural repair stuff will work

[@lorirosa2255]

Also, maybe try to aggregate the concrete to encourage it to fill in all the spaces, like in the front where it was patchy. Skim coating the front will flake off.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

The adhesive will prevent the flaking. And it’s new concrete now so it should bond well. But yes. Vibrating forms is a good idea. Thanks for watching 👍

[@popeyesh8790]

How much cost to fix a job like that?

[@Cesium67]

Looks good to me

[@bobscaping]

P.S. We really liked Tapcons for installing window area extensions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5zMapiod9-Jbqs

[@b_uppy]

So your saying this is durable rather than temporary-cosmetic?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Absolutely I am 👍 obviously best to replace all and order, form & concrete new. But your talking a 6-7x cost

[@pauldeanda4985]

It all depends what amount of time you are referring to as durable?
