CONCRETE REPAIR/PATCHES (Part 2)Mike Haduck

[@FloAdams-b3o]

Your the BEST EVER concrete layer by far…..you explain it so well with less nonsense talk YOUR THE BOMB

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

[@SOFISINTOWN]

I'm so grateful for your older videos. I'm getting ready to patch my driveway...

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, do a little practice first and you will figure it out, thanks Mike

[@Aumacsnigrand]

You're the "Bob Ross" of concrete, haha! I've watched lots of videos about repairing concrete because our porch needs some patching, and I don't want to pay thousands of dollars to have it jackhammered, which is what most local companies want to do. This was the best, by far! I'm ready to tackle my little porch! I was an art teacher for many years, and have been doing home projects since I was 20. This will be a new one to try.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Linda, mike

[@dopefacekilla]

I've thought that same thought before. Bob Ross of stone masons. It must be true! Great video, proof that we can use the mortar mix on the porch steps even in the thinner spots! Thanks Mike!

[@douggauzy6258]

I find myself getting hooked on Mike Haduck. Video’s. . “ I’m not going to make a Big Deal Out of it !

[@CraigCopeland-wn9sr]

​@@dopefacekilla. Ok

[@Mackandal-]

It's years later, however, "We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents".

[@grasshopperfiddler]

Dear Mike, i sincerely appreciate every single time you say “Not make a big project out of it - not make a big deal out of it “ and also your consistency repeating yourself. Its very helpful for my style of learning

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Allzwel, Mike

[@Ben_Brrr_nanke]

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Alex, the comments keep me going, mike

[@EChord1]

Thank you so much for making these videos. You helped me patch an inch wide shallow crack on my garage floor without it being this big over-complicated thing. Also love the mud trick- it worked beautifully to blend in the new patch. Thank you!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Echord, Mike

[@GalenCop9]

Mike Haduck, "The King of Concrete" Thanks for another great video!!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Galen, Mike

[@jimseviltwin1]

Refreshing to see that some craftsmen still have pride in their profession .

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks for the kind words, Mike

[@johnbolongo9978]

Another 20 minutes we'll spend.....love this guy.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks John, Mike

[@rickystallard3468]

Im a contractor and I love your videos. I build new but every now and then I get PATCH work.. Thank you Mike!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Ricky, I appreciate hearing that, Mike

[@ogeeic]

Sir, You are indeed a craftsman. You explain and explain until even I can understand. I now feel confident enough to fix my broken front steps and cracked backyard patio area. Thank You, so much.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, mike

[@clintprice2123]

Mike, another very helpful video. You are so fortunate to still have your father.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Clint, yep I am taking him for a ride up the cabin today, mike

[@jaykay5644]

You're awesome Mike with all you do! You have given us motivation with your lessons to do our own driveway patches after getting bids from businesses.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Jay, I hope it works out, Mike

[@jrecipes]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! We moved into our home three years ago, and our retaining wall and 50 year-old bricks are falling apart. Learning characters of mud, Portland, cement, quickset, cement, sand, gravels, watering concrete first, etc helped me to understand how masonry materials work together. So excited to be able to do some work in my backyard without asking my bank to loan some money!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, I appreciate hearing that, Mike

[@stevenspencer9104]

Thank you my brother you just blessed my socks off down here in Louisiana. I have a couple or 300 feet of blacktop driveway and you made me feel pretty good. Like I was praying I did the right thing. Been 7 years ago, and it looks slammin to me and the big boss. But anyway, my brother, thank you very much for taking the time to share that with us. I pray you and yours have a blessed day.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Steven, God bless, Mike

[@andrewcurtis5069]

Beautiful Delivery, great commentary and I can also see a lot of old school knowledge and know-how at work. I also love the mud disguises. Truly inspiring and informative. Your mannerism (no big deal) and your total approach is top shelf. I just love it. Cheers Brother !!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Andrew, Mike

[@honeyforce996]

Man I love to watch tradesmen work. Thanks for putting so much effort into sharing your knowledge and experience with everyone. A lifetime of learning.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks honeyforce,,Mike

[@test40323]

Just like that and it’s done. You make everything seem so easy. I’m becoming a fan of your work and your generosity in sharing your knowledge, thanks!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thank you test, I appreciate it, Mike

[@bellegreycats490]

He does make it look so easy!

[@rick7972]

What a good guy Mike is! I don’t like getting my hands dirty, but that doesn’t stop me from watching Mike “GETTING IT DONE” over and over again! Your lifetime of hard work has really paid off, Mike-THANK YOU for showing us the COUNTLESS tricks of the trade!!👍👍⚒

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks again Rick, mike

[@psidvicious]

Thru the whole video I was thinking what you finally said at the end -“A patch is a patch is a patch..” So true. Patching concrete is a real art. I was never much of a patch man myself, but when I found a good one, I would hang on to him, whatever it took! Sometimes I would have to pay a good patch man as much as I paid lead carpenters. They’re hard to find.. 🤜🤛

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks paid, mike

[@barrymichaels2663]

I just love it when he say "it's no big deal" 😎

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Barry, I notice I been saying it more, lol, mike

[@robertmaimone8733]

Excellent instructor, hit it with the Portland, no school like the old school! Make sure everything is wet, paint it on, old school bonding agent. Thanks Mike for your wisdom, and especially your videos, you are breathing new life in me,God Bless!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Robert, God bless also, Mike

[@yg-lc4ll]

Thanks Danelle, Mike

[@dariosame2655]

Mike thank you so much for this presentation that gave me the desire to he the bull by its horns the issue is that I’m selling my house but the realtor just informed me that she has to report the township some sidewalk damage and the charge you like 900$ per square fit of Repaired concrete sidewalk and I just told her I’ll do it but I wasn’t sure and after this video I’m sure now that I can accomplish that task as well. Txs again Mike. I appreciate it.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

[@TrevorHeathPhotography]

Thanks Mike for this great video - I have concrete steps (say 8 feet wide with 3 steps up) that have cracked down the middle and dropped slightly with maybe a 1/2 inch gap...I will try the new school rapid set hidden with your mud trick! Thanks from New Zealand (never snows or gets too cold where I live). 👍

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Trevor, I have videos on concrete step repair. And stone step repair maybe it will help, mike

[@chriscastillo6774]

i love your old school theorys! keep videos coming!....i tell everyone about you. gonna order your shirts when budget lets me. im sold out to your knowledge!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Chris. I appreciate it, Mike

[@georgetucker336]

Very interesting way to repair concrete. Learned a lot from this video. Thanks.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks George, Mike

[@ProtectorofChrist]

I love the old-school technique as they do last longer than modern stuff in construction and cost less when you are trying to budge. I agree that cemented on its own is a bonding agent when activated with water but you really do need to keep on top of things when you're doing it yourselves. My late father taught me old-school techniques in construction and I still use them today at my own home. Great video thank you as it is always good to see old school techniques used in DIY it also saves you hundreds of $$$$$/£££££.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Francis, mike

[@floflo4089]

Great job as always Mike!

[@judycaicedo-donnelly1174]

Great job 👏🏻 Love the fact that I can do my job very inexpensively.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Judy, Mike

[@twodollarjomo]

Thanks MIKE for your videos on repairing concrete this is a lot cheaper then paying to have them foam filled and you don't have to be a expert .

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks jo, mike

[@iamnathan8608]

You're the man Mike? I'm about to repair my sidewalk here in Sakatchewan.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Steve, mike

[@johnbloch1196]

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks John, mike

[@billspeight8936]

Mike thanks for all the great videos

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks bill, Mike

[@dickydesai7609]

Awesome Mike! No useless talk, get right to work. How would you like to come to New Hampshire, stay at my Inn for a couple of days, and get a few of my resurfacing projects done?

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks dick, I moved to Florida but thanks for asking, thanks Mike

[@lisaj205]

Thank you Mike! I was nervous to do my own cement patching and resurfacing and you gave me the guts! It looks great! Go sponge go! Thanks again

Thanks lisa, Mike

[@rebeccazarate7020]

Freaken genius 👏 I love this. Will save me alot of time and money

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Rebecca, do a sample first see what you think, thanks ,Mike

[@frankleach2557]

Can you put blacktop over an old concrete driveway and how would you do it thank you appreciate all your videos

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi frank,, I would say the proper way to do it is rip out all the old concrete and lay down new blacktop, if it was a commercial job you might get away with a littlebit, depends on what you are doing, thanks Mike

[@nialloconnell5895]

Mike I'm in the UK and working on a wall in my garden and trying to match an existing wall (dressed limestone) my cottage is dated at about 1830 ish, after watching your video's every time I come across a problem I find myself asking what would Mike do ! If you are ever back in the UK look me up, I'd love to take around some of the old stonework in the Cotswolds and some of the Welsh castles. Great video as always.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Niall, I appreciate it, mike

[@pensive69]

Found the Rapid Set Mortar mix works well for the flatwork repairs we do Mike. Great video and discussion of the two approaches. The Mortar mix I've used so far has a fairly gritty sand stone aggregate; bigger and gives better traction than a smaller sand. It works really well on a drive. Customers seem to like that it cures quick and doesn't allow our mason crew to stand around and wait for the older Portland to harden. We're in we're out.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks pensive, I agree, Mike

[@PaulNada07]

Hi Mike . I’m a mason from the UK . Great to see your methods and experience .

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Paul, I appreciate it, mike

[@MichaelDFortner]

Quikrete makes a cement in a bucket which is an Anchoring Cement that is runny and designed to expand when it dries so you can pour it around a hand-rail. So I think I will mix a little of that in with the portland and sand so that it will not shrink and crack.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, I never did that so I can't say, thanks, Mike

[@cycl0nnus]

this is just a simple patching video. this guy turns it into some history lesson

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike
