[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Appreciate it, can't wait for your next video

[@ike___love]

@@GRUBB-MUDDdo you have to let it sit for over night then spray next day or can you do it the same day if it’s hot enough and it sets up?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@@ike___love You can most def spray it off the same day, just wait extra long and bring a pressure washer if needed! Do not get on it early, it looks terrible if rocks pop. So yeah just wait extra long and spray it on a few times as u r waiting. Bring your pressure washer and a broom and maybe a wire brush. You will always be able to get the cream off. But you can never put rocks back on. Btw plz watch my premiere tonight at 8pm

[@dottiegrubb6386]

I am loving the entire patio and how you were able to transition the new and the old to Match so nicely. Very decorative look. Congrats professional.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Thanks

[@mitchborders8465]

I don't know much about concrete but im learning from watching your channel. don't stop!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Keep the comments coming!

[@vic6554]

It’s great to see someone who is an actual construction worker, dose this day in day out rather than some handyman who have no idea but thinks they can give advice. Thanks for the D.P. Tip

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

For sure! Yeah we do alot of exposed agg! Dp works great for it, but not other type of exposing like sand finish! Just for exposed aggregate! I appreciate the comment!

[@grassroots9304]

That's a neat trick. That came out very nice and the mix of exposed versus not-exposed offers nice contrast. Well done.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

thank u very much

[@TimMcArdle]

Never seen how that is done. Very interesting! Looks good man and I bet the people where happy!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

they loved it, I got another exposed video of round steps that goes into detail if u wana watch, but thanks for supporting the channel!!!

[@tylerk.7947]

Damn, that looks good. I really like this exposed ag. Your jump at the end was so unexpected really cracked me up

[@PrecisionCSGO]

I've never done exposed before but man that looked really nice!! Looking forward to more "how to..." videos. you know what you're doing, im still trying to learn!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

4 show 4 show! Glad to see u in the comment section, I got some cool stuff planned 4 this winter on some videos as soon as these fools take off this bracelet lol

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

I still got 1 more job for this b4 this winter too and about 4 videos to edit

[@richardoconnor7162]

You guys totally blew the center section pattern on the addition. But the steps look great.

[@ITisandiamIT]

Those steps look realy good. I have no clue about what differrent floats there are. I know what the hand held and Bull Floats look like. Just not the names. My Granddad always did his own, and the Porch I am going to repair, was one he did 30 years ago. The front pourch is so smooth, when it rains, you have to be careful. I am nervous I'll mess it up, but I am taking your advice and ripping it out, and redoing it. I do know how to mix my own, just from helping my granddad. But, I am learning from your channel, how to actually work it. Thanks Bro! Keep up the great job, and please keep this helpfull Videos coming! I learn from watching, and your channel has really helped me.

[@kennethreffitt2051]

Its funny some people make it look easy and clean and some make it hard and sloppy..looks great guys keep up the good work

[@diamond6256]

Is exposed AGG less likely to crack than driveway concrete. I love your video. I also love the pattern and the 2 different styles.

[@jasonyoung1230]

Great job it looks sharp. I use a Sika product when doing exposed- when you used Dr Pepper, do you water it down or does it go in straight?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

I have only used it 2x, its just strait dr pepper, but I usually just use retarder from a supply store, just didn't have time to go get it

[@nigelwalton4769]

Dude, Top Shelf right there. Haven't seen this one. Love your eye for detail. (NZ Fan)

[@mickeysantana725]

Some clean looking steps for sure. And it sounded like a fiber float. Great job brother and wonderful video!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Yeah yur right, resin fiber float, I knew ppl would know by the sound

[@SuperBrowndog1]

Looks great. Did you mix anything with the Dr Pepper?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Nope! Thank u!

[@swanie5502]

nice brother! how long did you have to wait until you had to wash it off?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

well we washed er the next day i did another set of round exposed agg steps that turned out pretty good here is a link, it is a more in debth guide of how we do it kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGW2gYOugKljnM0

[@n8n876]

Looks very nice. Why no expansion along the house?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

the customer didn't want it. because there other step had a gap from the expansion rotting out

[@bus-fun-addict]

You need not use traditional expansion material along the building. In that case its only being used as a mechanical break between the slab and the building. You only need to keep the concrete from keying into the brick so the slab can move up and down. I use 5" rips of plasic laminate (such as formica). Works great and you dont even know its there. Your work looks great.

[@ShortyKing88]

Fiber float btw greay video, your channel is the best concrete channel 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the secret tip, btw love the channel

[@williamwatson1072]

Damn that looks great bro good job and I love the Dr Pepper trick now why not use power washer was that by design because of psi??

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

1st off thanks 4 watching, 2ndly, as far as the pressure washer, it was poured in the fall time w 4000 psi concrete. anytime I do exposed agg, I start w just the hose and a broom, depending on what time of the year and time of the day its poured depends on if u need a pressure washer. I didn't need it on this 1, but I do have another exposed agg video that I used a pressure washer on, ita a nice set of steps. I will send u a link. appreciate the view and the like!!! those likes really help my channel

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

thank you

[@ravshana]

Are pebbles already mixed in with concrete or you added manually?

[@marqueswilsonn]

Is it true or false that working concrete makes your teeth break and fallout over time. Something about the concrete dust coating your teeth while you work and it hardens then chips your teeth?

[@mickeybinas]

Is it any regular concrete or is it concrete made with smaller aggregate

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Smaller agg, pea Gravel instead of stone mix

[@ALLw3rk]

Amazing! It looks great. 👍

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Well thank u. And btw the dr pepper works great

[@maggot5693]

I seen guys on trowel machines spill thier coke or beer an have trouble with that little patch..... I learnt to do it with sugar,,, then the big company come in with ,,, reveal an other products, but sugar gives a nicer expose...

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

I saw a guy spill ice cream 1 x and it made a spot that never set up lol

[@ebk304]

Beautiful brother! Well done! I’m just starting out in the trade and love watching videos like this. I have a job coming up that calls for exposed Ag so I’m schooling myself beforehand. This is a great video to get an idea. When you call up for Mud is there anything other than normal that you call for? Any help would be greatly appreciated man. Thanks.

[@zerostarfree]

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

thanks Steve but u spelled my name wrong

[@ElmaLopez-f3o]

Do you recommend doing this in very hot weather?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

You just have to wash it the same day

[@qrsservices9576]

So what does the dr proper do to the concrete?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

It has so much suger in regular DR. PEPPER That it slows down the set time. Qhen we cover w plastic it keep the top creamy and we then wash it off the next morning where we painted on the DR PEPPER. Put alot on and if its hot wash the same day. W no plastic. Juat keep putting dr pep on it for a few hours and keep checking it
