Hi Mike, I love your videos. I have a quick question. Someone hit our well tile at church last Sunday. I'm wondering in your opinion if it can be repaired. I saved all of the pieces that cracked maybe we can mortar the broken pieces and parge over top of it? Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. No big deal 👍🏾

Will this help with a carport and patio where overzealous power washers have permanently marred the concrete, and stains from planters? Will it hold up to foot or car traffic? I was told I need a bunch of prep and a product from Sika for resurfacing but this seems more reasonable for just a cosmetic covering.

[@Jeff_B_233]

Milton rolled through and helped me to remove all of my carpet. Now I'm looking at a 40 year old slab.This slab seems to generate a very fine dust when swept and is also very stained. Would painting with Portland make it at least look better until we get new floors? What would you recommend to fill the divots left over from the tack strip removal? Thanks! I hope you made it thru the storm ok!

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Jeff, I wouldn't, painting with portland is a old school depression era fixes for outside concrete to keep it up before replacement, I would check with the paint stores , maybe you would want to go with something they reccomend, thanks Mike

My son is going into construction and would like to know the brand of brick hammer you have, with the blue/gray handle. Thanks in advance for your response.

Can I do this on my back patio and the sidewalk around the pool or should I use a concrete paint? I want to make my whole patio and pool surround look better.

Will this method work using colored powder added to cement and use on stucco?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Albert, this is a cheap, old school depression era makeover, today most use paint, but it's a good think to know the old ways, adding colors don't last, thanks, Mike

[@albert5224]

@@MikeHaduck I put the stucco on in 1992 when I built the house. I used True Tone cement and mortar color mixed into the stucco. I still have boxes of the color. It is a powder that is lime proof, permanent to light, like a red clay powder and the stucco has held its color since application in 1992. I am going to try this method and use my original color mixed in to as close to the original shade as I can get. My original stucco was also a blend or Portland and Mortar. I am doing this cement/mortar paint to fill in some of the very small cracks that have developed over the years to help prevent accumulation of too much water and the freeze cycles here in Northern Michigan where temperatures get below 0°F. I'm 76 and have worked building, cement work and block laying off and on for 60 years, not as a vocation but because I liked to. Thanks for your channel.
