CONCRETE REPAIR/PATCHES (Part 8) Mike Haduck (Sidewalks)

[@Mikidy303]

I was at the dentist and she was saying that she's like a mason, only taking out the loose stuff. She also did the mud trick to match my tooth color and tore a chuck of sponge right out of the chair to wipe my face off. I was not concerned at all. Thanks Mike, another great video!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Mike , lol, mike

[@stavebnifirmapikr9129]

She forgot to say that it was no big deal

[@peaceandfreedomeconomics8984]

I like how you come back days later and show the finished work.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Common Sense, Mike

[@jimcramer9656]

The mud trick did better than I was expecting on this one. 👍

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Jim, mike

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Had some work done on my driveway and the contractor had another contractor to do a 4'x4' patch. If I would have known the guy was going to charge $400 and leave a 4x4 reflector on my driveway I would have done it myself. What a Rip Off!!! Thanks for the video Mike, unfortunately it came a little late! You're the Best!!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, mike

[@mrfranciscojuarez187]

Good looking patch, That's why you get paid the big bucks.

Hi Francisco, I wish. Lol,

Great video as always, like watching Bob Ross making art but with concrete. Great job and tips!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Ken, mike

[@Aumacsnigrand]

You're giving me the confidence to fix our little front porch! Taught art for 20 years. It's sort of like working with clay slabs!

Thanks Linda, mike

A much needed video, from the best stone mason, out there.

Thanks Anthony, mike

I have one 3' section of sidewalk that needs repairing. I've watched about a dozen videos looking for a fix, and the majority of those I've watched require expensive tools to complete the 20-step process they described. "First, get out your bobcat and remove the slab..." Yeah, no. YOUR video is exactly what I was looking for: quick, easy and very uncomplicated. Thank you very much for this.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

Thank you Mike, bought the Rapid Set Mortar 55lb bag mix from HD, more expensive than the Quickrete products, but made the job easier without the pebbles. Took so much out of the slabs that I used the full 55lbs bag here in Long island NY. Keep making the videos we appreciate your efforts. Thanks buddy!

Once again the mud trick saves the day. I patched the sidewalk at my mom’s house using what I learned from you. It turned out pretty good. Thanks, Mike!

Thanks again, Mike

[@schmitty8225]

I love the painting with mud trick but when you paint it with mud, what happens when you go to pressure wash the sidewalk? Does it stay darker than the nonpainted part?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi , it probably cleans up more, but you can keep laying the mud on, thanks mike

[@mikeh2599]

You threw me there for awhile when you used the mortar mix. (mortar: stuff going vertical). Thanks for the explanation at the end. As a DIY, deciphering the bags is my biggest challenge, plus 64 yr. old knees. Thanks for creating.

You do make it look easy...makes simple diyers feel that, if we follow your steps, we can actually get it done! I like the mud painting trick...accidentally spilled a few drops of my paint color on my neighbor's yard and I very quickly rubbed some mud over it to blend it away...it worked! Thanks Mike.

You are amazing brother and perform like Picasso. I am 35 but I've learned from all older guys growing up and still stick to the old school mostly that's why I enjoy your videos so much. Would love to work a couple days besides you doing anything in the masonry trade. What would you resurface over a concrete patio that someone put either roof cement or something like over concrete in different spots where cracks were. It is hard as hell in certain spots and I already got all loose off. Would love your opinion. Hope to hear back from you.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Chas,, I got a playlist called concrete repairs where I fix things and either paint with cement or paint, but most patches are a patch. It's usually a fix until replacement, thanks Mike

interesting, Im a son of a mason, been watching him do it for, god knows my entire life and im 31. I've been to every job you can think of, pool walk ways, chimenies, side walks, stairs, tile floors walls and shower floors. I never followed in his foot steps sadly, but i understand the how difficult the job can be and what it does to ones body. my pops is 61yo, had a double bypass done a few years back and had a stint put in a month ago. the damn bastard gets up a week later and still laying bricks and concrete

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, my dad was doing it in his eights and in his 90s he still thinks he can, it's a strange breed for sure, thanks Mike

[@YoungFree213]

@@MikeHaduck just got a notification about this comment today. My pops started back in the mid to late 70s to pick up extra cash. He went to school for mechanic trades but one of the guys he did work for asked if he wanted some money and took my father as an apprentice for a few years. After my sister was born in 81, he picked up a state job doing masonry. He hold the #1 spot for masonry, until 09 when the MA Governor Patrick "retired" the block for masonry. But a few years later got a call back from the state offering a Mason spot at a public health hospital which he's been for quite some time.

Can you put mud from garden on concrete walkway cracks after sealing cracks then put portland & glue paint on it?

Hi Brenda. I use the mud trick to disguise new work and make it match the old, you can try diffrent things to make it work, thanks Mike

[@sgtboz9730]

Question, Mike. If you didn't use Rapid Set, could you have used 2 sand, 1 portland for this job?

[@MikeHaduck]

Yes, but I would have to come back next day and go over it, when I left the sidewalk could be walked on, thanks mike

I noticed that you used Masonary Nix to fix the sidewalk patch. And one of your other videos I saw you stated that on horizontal surface should use Portland cement as a patch. Confused a little bit. Please advise.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Michael, rapid set make a mortar mix as hard as concrete but they call it a mortar mix because you can plaster and lay block and brick with it. They also make a concrete mix with rocks in it but it is same thing, unless you were in the business you wouldn't know it, thanks Mike

[@campbejouc]

for debris that came out in the clean it all out - why not put the debris into a bucket of water? - then washed chunks back into the hole rather than bricks? For the dirty debris water -use that as the stain - as in theory matches material already there? -Always enjoy watching the process.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks James , I think it was too muddy not like sand that binds, thanks Mike

How would you of mixed it you didn’t use the rapid set and just did Portland and sand ? What’s your thoughts behind find sand ?
