[@ebw_servant_of_GOD]

Mike... Nice job Brother.... Man now you are live the life in "FLORIDA" .... No more ICE, SNOW BELOW ZERO WINDS and FROZEN DAYS,.. Good to see you are still showing the tricks of the trade.... Master Mason at his BEST! GOD BLESS BROTHER.... ERNIE

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Erie, I do like it here, God bless, Mike

[@julietphillips1991]

So we didn't need to wet the area before we pack it in? Looks like Florida is treating you well Mike!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Julie, no, not in this case, Mike

[@BillLowenburg]

Handy technique to know about, thanks Mike! Using the edger makes sense -- I'm sure a lot of people would just till the space, smooth the whole thing over with a trowel and maybe sponge it -- but soon the crack along the edges would appear. This was a simple but worthwhile thing to know about and thanks for demonstrating it.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Bill, Mike

reminds me of a screed mix , gives me confidence when i do my shower room floor, a bible scholar always said proverbs is the first book a man should read it gives a good foundation. good to see you somewhere warm

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks closer, it was actually the first book I discovered, always good advice, Thanks Mike

[@mysterion4301]

Always good stuff Mike. We used to use this around 3" stub ups out of floors for commodes when the builders weren't sure of exact placement and they left us some flex on the old ABS

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

[@dangates3022]

thx mike glad to see you enjoying yourself in FLA. i know you miss honest mike and jardy

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, yep, but they will be down to visit, thanks Mike

[@65csx83]

Thanks for another well detailed presentation. From your other videos I expected you would cover that conduit with tar paper (or ?) because the cement won't stick to the conduit and differing expansion rates. of the conduit and mortar.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, actually it's too short to worry about the expansion, maybe something longer but no broblems yet, Mike

[@lizzapaolia959]

Another outstanding video 😁. Great advice for people who need to do this or hire it done. My husband and I enjoy all of your videos..... Merry Christmas too you and your family 🙏🎄

I love you videos Mike because you have a real con-DU-it attitude! Why do you edge it in this scenario vs keeping it packed tightly will it crack?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Andrew, yes it will always show a crack where it shrinks, thanks Mike

[@UF250]

Any reason why u didn’t wet it first? Was it because of the Florida weather? Just curious thanks anyway for your video it came out perfect 😊

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi UF, yep, it was laying on the ground and dosent freeze here, big difference, thanks Mike

[@Bailey-y9b]

I've been looking to bury a 4ft in length downspout forever, tired of tripping overit, now I know what to do and how to, but what about the climate in northern Minnesota with sand as a base or should i add crushed gravel. Thanks Mike your videos are very informative

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi user, I couldn't say unless I was there to see it, I would ask around, thanks Mike

[@Butterfly-iz3nm]

Cool video Mike. The end result is really beautiful. I like how easily you cut the channel. That's something I plan to remember for the future. I hope your knee didn't get too sore from being on that concrete without a pad. It was painful for me just watching lol. I imagine that the drier mix also helped reduce shrinkage and cracking? The question I have is when using that drier "pool mix" is it necessary to keep moistening it for a few days to keep the new patch "fed"?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, usually not, they put the liner on top same day, thanks Mike

[@DodgeCity111]

Solid job Mike. One of them edging tools is going on my Christmas present list

[@jah0524]

How do you patch a hole in a concrete foundation after jackhammering to fix a water leak in the slab? Do you have a video for that? Thank you.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Jah, I have a whole series called, Foundation repair, Mike haduck, and as far as fixing a leak I got a video call, " basement water problem solutions" that might solve the real problem, thanks Mike

[@jacklowe3788]

Thanks for the video Mr. Mike- I was curious watching you do this as to how are your knees after so many years of masonry work- & What's best type knee pad or pad to use for I have old wore out knees- blessings to you

Hi Jack. Not bad yet, I usually use pads or some type of cushion, thanks Mike

[@robertwear1675]

Great job as usual. Why didn't you brush in portland as binder though?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Robert, it's florida where it won't freeze and it gives a little expansion for it, my opinion, thanks Mike

[@robertwear1675]

Thanks Mike. Love your videos. Love to visit Florida too. We have relatives there. Bet you miss your old friends like Jack Bravyak?

[@wayneleone]

Tidy job Mike. Does the dry mix also reduce shrinkage by any chance?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Wayne, yes it does ,I should have emphasized that more, thanks Mike

[@2tana22]

Cool tip Mike, always learning something from ya……

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

[@krzysztofsoja5301]

Hello Mike, thanks for the new video. I have couple of question related to this job: 1) I have an impression the conduit is placed too shallow - it looks like it's not even an inch of concrete above it - is it correct? I think there is a sweet spot between depth of conduit and not ruining structural integrity of the concrete slab, but that shallow placement doest't seem right to me. What do You say? 2) I see this time You didn't wet the concrete before patching it, and I am a bit confused remembering you saying "You want it stick, you gonna make it wet" - help me understand why it was not needed to wet the concrete this time. I am learning a lot from You and really want to understand. Thank You in advance.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi krzy, first thing is it's a sidewalk and no heavy traffic is going over it, and second I was using regular portland and sand so it would match the color, if I was using rapid set it would have been done quickly and I probably would gave to paint it with portland to match. Wetting it would have been messy and it dosent have to stick. Because it's packed, I could have done it like you said I wouldn't matter, but this is florida so not worried about frost getting under it and lifting it up, thanks Mike

[@Brian-Burke]

Great video as always, Mike. How are you liking Florida?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Brian, I love it, Mike

[@zachkorinis3935]

I guess the idea is using the edger will protect the conduit if the concrete does ever crack and it looks cleaner than trying to blend the patch in.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Zach, and with less water in the mix it dosent shrink as much, Mike

[@tickyul]

I wish Florida wasn't so crowded and humid.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, I am in the middle, lots of farm land, thanks Mike

[@tickyul]

@@MikeHaduck Lucky you!

[@georgevalente4223]

I would not have thought to edge the side for expansion.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks George, Mike

[@billwilliams4877]

So its basically just mortar mix?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Bill, it's just portland and sand, mix it with water but just enough to make it wet. It's seems to work fine, especially florida, thanks Mike

[@user-rw7xd7qy3j]

Thanks

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks user, Mike

[@tedmcdonald3377]

Why did you have to run the edger around it🤔🤔🤔

[@fpsDREDD]

i think it was stylistic and because he used a dry mix that would flake if he feathered it to blend
