PROPS! For not trying to look like you're perfect and never make mistakes! We're all human and things don't always work out the first time. The end result looks great!
After watching you B side video from a while ago, it makes me appreciate your effort to keep the boring topic of watching cement dry engaging and enjoyable. You're certainly honing your craft and I for one enjoy it.
I adore this look. Trying to make a small two person sitting area on the side of my garage and this has given me a great idea.
Michael some of your stuff is so cool. And I like the fact your a concrete guy who admits his mistakes. Been into concrete work for 50 years. As you probably know a concrete workers useful life is not long enough. Man I found your site and even though my shoulders and knees are wore out I have found and explored stuff thru you I can do again. Thanks brother ☮️ Peace
Soooooo one thing not mentioned in this video that I learned after my first failed attempt at doing this. Maybe this was obvious to most but I didn't really think it would be an issue. It is that this stuff sets SUPER QUICKLY. And I knew that it did but I thought I would be able to move fast enough. Well, I was wrong. Eventually, the product curing caught up with me. Having another set of hands or two will make a huge difference here. It is advised to have multiple buckets with the water measured out, someone to mix while you pour, and even a third person that keeps the hose on misting the fresh surface. I couldn't keep up to mist fast enough and on top of looking like crap because it set too fast and didn't blend with the final pours, I got hairline cracks in the good part because it dried too quickly. GET HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THIS!!!
I have used this dye for three of my homes. It has held up great and will continue to use it!! Inside and out looks fine after 7 years now just seal it every year or as needed.
Great job! I'm hooked now. Time to start my binge watching. I'm learning so much. I can't wait until I am completely healed from this rotator cuff tear to put what I'm learning to use. Thanks for sharing.
Nice, I did some concrete counters a while back and I used a beige color like yours but it was an acid stain, so when you artistically apply the stain in a random pattern and get some overlay you get deeper and deeper colors without having to use multiple colors. Turned out fantastic!
The comedic comments are always appreciated, thanks for making great diy continent!
Thank you for showing that you're human and we make mistakes and we can fix it. You're such an inspiration! The porch looks fabulous!
Thanks Michael for giving the confidence to tackle projects like this 👍💥
Fabulous! I need this video so that I can redo all the stoops on my home (4 in all). Thanks for the instructions, including what can go wrong!
Great work! I have to do exactly the same on my patio. Thanks for the detailed explanation and tips!!
Respect for showing the mistakes and fixing them 👌
True value
Looks much better than before Michael! Keep up the great work and stay healthy my friend!
Thanks,
DC
Hi Michael! Superb presentation skills and top-notch production value! Great information and so entertaining! Thank you for doing this!
I didn’t know there was such thing as concrete dye, thanks Mike
Seeing your Pittsburgh level made me confident to pull this off.....I too have this level 👍🏽
I watched the concrete counter top video yesterday. By the end, I was impressed and ready to subscribe. So I did. I watched a couple more of your videos which only confirmed to me that my decision to subscribe was a good idea. You have excellent content, you are upbeat and have a lot of energy, and you are not afraid to point out any mistakes you make and show us how to correct them. Outstanding! Keep the videos coming, you're doing great!
Michael, you are awesome! I've been wanting to do this inside the house (damaged basement floor). You make it look easy, but acknowledge your mistakes too! makes a DIY'er like me much more confident. Thank man!
Thank you so much!
how well has this held up my father did a concrete patio last summer and there are several uneven spots that now that it is winter are becoming a massive ice sheets was wondering if this would work to lvl/ make it so the water doesn't pool and if it would last long time without chipping off
Thank you so much for the great video. It helped me a lot yesterday, and I actually use the squeegee device and put some nails to it so it can keep the robber half an inch above the floor, and it worked perfect. I didn’t have the other device that you were talking about which has height adjustment.
It looks perfect! I would be so grateful and happy if mine came out like this.
Thank YOU!!! It really helps that you screwed up! I feel sooo much better!
LOL you’re welcome but I wish my wife would say the same thing LOL 😂
Really enjoyable and helpful. You're great at this. Thank you!
Dude that looks great keep them videos coming I wait for your videos everyday I can't get enough of them
Thanks Michael, you took one for the team! Loved the video!
Easily one of my new favorite channels! I really appreciate your content and method of explanation and demonstration, very helpful! Keep it comin!
Thank you so much Cliff! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that! ☺️🙏👍🏻
Nice combination of sand colors. Good looking porch! 👍
Thank you for this video. It's gorgeous
Even with the happy little accidents, still looked good!!!! Giving me ideas for my back patio a little later!!!!
Lol 😂 thank you so much! 👍🏻😊
I Love the color also...Great Work!
I really appreciate the commentary on technical problems, tools and techniques. I also really appreciate the "how to work with errors" section. Most of us DIY'ers will be doing things like this only once. So, we'll have errors or problems. It is actually very helpful to see how to work with those problems.
Thanks been waiting on this video since you mentioned it! I have a patio I was considering busting out and repouring cause surface is flaking. Going to try this. Thanks
I was worried....where had you been? Glad you are back and doing exactly what I need help with...thank you and stay well
I just like your attitude and tenacity. LOL...great job!!!
Much better than I could. Great Job!
No mistakes, just happy little trees. Great Video THANKS.
LOVE the finished look
Thank you so much Tammy! We like it hehe
Love it looks fantastic
Would like to see more discussion about what to do around the edges !!
Need to do those stairs next!
Great production quality.
thank you for this video . All worked out nicely
I like this hard leather concrete. It is beautiful.
Dude! You did it again! Pure Awesomeness!
Love how you try your best to avoid specialty tools and keep this for the regular average Joe handyman!
Love how you make mistakes and include that in the tutorial as things to watch out for,...and you can laugh at yourself, "Be gentle when filling your sprayer!"
Also, not as important to me, but the video audio quality is really good!
Keep up the good work! Really appreciate you! Been watching since the first video!
You're my hero, Michael.
That looks great !! Good job
That porch is beautiful
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you MMichael...you did a great video!!!
Michael your videos are always great!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
Great video. It's exactly what I was looking for
Really great project.
You're an awesome dude! Learning and fun! Keep it up!
Great video and info. Thanks!
Great job!! love the color
Thank you so much James!
Awesome job! Keep up the great work!
Beautiful look
Totally Awesome Video.
Looks freakin great!
Might have try that out!
I just loved this video. You make me laugh, Michael. Not at you but just how you do your videos. The way you acknowledge your mistakes, the way you tell us what corners you cut; (which was on your last video that I just watched, "How to make a rubber mold"). I watched your concrete benches yesterday with the stone rivers that run through them and I subscribed immediately to your videos. You're real, you're fun, you're funny when need be and your serious and so informative on your directions. Keep up the good work.
I've got to level my basement floor and I might need someone to come help BUT I will definitely have a hand in it so that we do it my way; which will be the way that I learn it here of what to do and of what NOT to do. Thank you so much for your videos. I'm looking to see more.
I'm going to go look now to see if you've got one on Bird Baths. If you don't; oh wait, I see one now from Michael Builds How to do Bird Baths and Repair concrete step. Cool, I'm going to go watch that one right now; then I need to get to work. Thanks again.
Love the way you teach!!! I’m gonna try this.
Why thank you! 🙏😊
Looks great
great job done
Excellent!!
Wow, does that ever look great. Another awesome learning experience and very entertaining. Well done sir!
Thank you so much Monty!!!

Fantastic job......only snafu was the porcupine rolller...thats for creating bubbles!!....just kiddin- great job
You’re nice and clear fella. Good vids. Subscribed.
I am so happy to see that you blew up! I saw your first video and just knew you were going to be big! See you on TV soon! Continued success!
Thank you so much Matt!
Lord I wish you were for hire. We remodeled an old cabin and it had no kitchen. The cupboards arrive tomorrow..and I really want counters like this....but I'm terrified of doing this myself. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise
Good teacher..I've learned alot
thanks for the video !
As always. Nice job
Somehow you have a new sub 😎 love your work, solide content Michael
Another great cool video.
I have watched most of your videos. I'm planning a major redo of my back yard. I would like to see a video of water color staining of concrete. I have watched a few about it elsewhere. But yours are entertaining and I usually watch more than once. I hope to see more of your concrete videos. I have learned so much thank you.
what he used was water based stain
Nice Job Michael👍
Stain a concrete porch, one solid generic gray color for me. Enjoy your videos
Beautiful job homie
The was nicely made.
I don't know what you do for a living but I would love to work for you your personality is great and what you do is just as good
Great job mam. Thanks
AMAZING!!💗💗
Good Luck on durability of the finish. I have had incredible results inside , but have yet to have a nice exterior finish hold up for a year. Great video! Let me know if you have tricks to keep a screen and color on outdoor concert.
Thanks Joe
I love it and I loved that you used inexpensive tools and you made errors and showed how to fix I am not sure what a mist is but I assume it’s water! Lol
I was looking for this video ... I extended my driveway and add more concrete for a patio and the patio area is uneven. And the paint idea is super. Summer project. ,
Awesome!
very kool.....nice job bro..
I didn't know that when it says "underlayment" you can just stain/seal it. This makes me feel a lot better. I'm leveling out a patio and may/may not build a deck on top. If I can make it look this nice I may not! I bought the house with a deck on top of a cracked patio, but just recently had to strip the deck off because the joists rotted through due to standing water.
Looks Great. #STAYSAFE
Friggin sweet!
Nice!
Did you ever do a follow-up video with how the stain held up?
Nice job.steps would look good stained also.
Happy Holidays! Another informative video, well done. Pull up a chair and have a cold one.
Exactly what I came on YT to look for. Excellent job it looks great. Appreciate the info and tips. Doing my back patio soon, approx same size. About how much of each of the products did yours require? That’s a good rough estimate for mine. Thanks again
Can't wait for the update...
I love your videos. Have not watch one yet that you haven’t made me laugh!
