With all do respect, because I truly respect you and your work, I'm surprised by some missing info in this video. 1. Surface prep. remove the loose stuff with a wire brush. 2. use set control for more working time of the product. 3. Product directions and minimum thickness. This layer looks like it would crumble with one kick.4. Start from the bottom and pull it up.
Spray bottle or hose on mist setting is also nice to use.
Just saying this to be helpful to others.
maybe throw in some flashing to protect the framing... hell, after the flashing, make the durock a little taller (wider cut) to completely cover the 2 x 10 for some protection. Or, let the next homeowner repair and redo it all. Especially after this nice patio is installed and trapping all the water against the framing. Tyvek paper under the door sill is a good touch also.
I love that he cracks himself up.
Me too lol.
Jeff, I just came upon the channel by accident and it seems like it was made for me! I have a 140 year old house in the exact same climate/area and doing almost everything you're explaining. Thank you for what you're doing! Makes my life WAY less stressful, lol
Bought a house recently, and one of the things that needs to be done- is reparging on a few spots, your timing with this video is scary awesome!
Jeff I love your channel. I watched one of your painting videos the other day and feel like I've learned more about technique in 30 minutes than I did in 7 years of home ownership. I need to install a prehung door and putting in hardwoods in the coming weeks and you've been so informative and realistic. Even when you show shortcuts, you explain them far more coherently than any other home improvement channels. Keep up the awesome work.
I don't even think I can ask friends to help paint anymore. They'd just slow me down and waste my paint.
we don’t get sakrete parging mix in the US.
After watching, I’m now an expert on parging. Didn’t know what it was 15 min ago.
Dude us too. Wife and I are drunkenly trying to figure out WTF he is talking about.
Me Too !!!
Same lol
first time I ever heard of parging. I thought porridge was an oatmeal type of food? 😂👌 My guess is its adding a vapor barrier to a foundation?
Hell of a comment
Yay!! I finally caught a new upload .. my husband and I love ❤️ this guy 👏🏾👏🏾
Loved the tip on how to "off" a friend in cement. Had to replay as I wasn't sure that he just said that!
The fact that he was saying that part as I was reading your comment🤣
Love the little giggle at 3:10 :D
I have no idea what parging is, so Jeff is about to learn me good.
@Agent К видео Count me in! 😁
Same here!
Grab a drink and sit back! Papa Jeff is learnin us!
That is precisely why I clicked.
I had a contractor mention I needed to consider parging and I had no idea what he was talking about. Jeff to the rescue as always!
You've helped me so much with various projects it's amazing. Love all these videos.
You Sir are ONE OF A KIND.....no bs, right to it, useful tips....I feel truly lucky to have found you!
Jeff, why do you always come out with how to videos after I ruined my project! 😂🤦♂️ Thanks!
Fantastic job. The upbeat commentary makes watching this a pleasure.
Thank you for this diy project. Just what I needed to learn right now.
I could listen to you talk for hours! I am now prepared to parge my 100-year old home. Excited to watch your other videos!
Excellent vid Jeff. Your knowledge on DIY has no bounds.
Your a blessing to everyone looking for information 🙏
As always, a great video with much to learn from! Also the smoothing part of the parging was really satisfying!
I'm currently doing repairs on my Foundation wall as well. Thank you for another great video. I just wanted to say one of the things that makes your videos great is that you get to the heart of the repair or modification. It goes beyond put this size screw this distance apart in this material. You go on to discuss why you need these kinds of screws, and why you made the decision with the housing wrap. Thank you for your unique take on teaching construction. Sometimes understanding why is just as important as understanding how.
Word
Could not have said this better. WHY is very very important. Great point , and totally agree. Great vid, I have pockets in the foundation side wall where the previous owners must have let the sprinklers hit for a long time. Now I know how to fix.
You have a very Peewee Herman vibe to your instructions. I love the cheeriness. Thanks for posting, sir!
Thank you so much for the sponge tip. Made my parging look awesome!!
Jeff, thank you. I have to give it to you. You are my favorite teacher when it comes to home repair. Happy teacher appreciation week!
Great review, Jeff.
6:50 If possible, use a water hose with a light spray nozzle to thoroughly soak the existing concrete.
This video (@ 11:00) shows the importance of keeping the parge mix and concrete surface moist, as they become enemies when too dry. Two moist items hydraulically bond. A slow dry allows the Portland cement to bond best to the existing substrate. Mix your own parge with 2 parts masonry sand and 1 part Portland.
The grunting really makes it worth the watch.
Thank you so much for this simple and straightforward approach. I need to do this to my foundation.
This guy's got a great personality & he's straight forward with the information. GREAT video!!!
I love work... I can watch it for hours! Learning something new today.
Glad you enjoy it!
Definitely appreciate the tips. Many videos don't mention keeping it covered nor wetting the initial surface. His laugh cracks me up too!
I like parging videos, It's kind of an art to master. More or less like concrete finisher. Thx for the tips :)
What? I’ve never seen this before. Interesting process.
Great video! You inspired me to do this myself. Probably went back and watched it 10 times! Now my foundation looks like a million bucks. I'm painting it with Bluskin paint as well for a little extra water resistance and then putting in new perimeter drains. Without your videos I wouldn't know where to start with a lot of this stuff. Thank you man. Please keep them coming!
Hiya. What is Bluskin paint? I looked for it, but all I saw was the Blueskin membrane that is used on foundation walls below grade. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
@@harishveeramani2907 yeah its the same company but they sell a paint as well. I bought it at home depot here in B.C. Canada. Did 2 coats and it worked great. I have not used the membrane though so I am not sure what would have worked better.
I have watched other home improvement show but yours are the best. I honestly feel that you whant to teach and don't hold back telling us the best way to do jobs, but also let us know how to tell if you get some one to do work for you that they are doing the work right.thank you for you hard work if i ever need to do any work you will be the frist one for me to look up🙏
Very interesting! Learn something new every day. Also, thanks for keeping it pg. My kiddos are often watching with me 😋
I think this video just cemented our relationship Gary #cheers
Your a rockstar! He for sharing this and the tips along with, it's much appreciated
You made my day dude. Kudos to you and your son.
Once again I am learning something. Thanks!
I’ve watched just about every one of your videos about bathroom renovations and I’ve learned sooo much. Thank you. I’m planning on renovating my bathroom and I would like to see a video on moving the shower 🚿 head to opposite wall.😁
Glad you mentioned he has a video for that. I've got renovation plans on my bathroom too!
Just exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Thank You. I love the plastic idea, instead of repeatedly spraying with water after parging.
Love your videos, had to do this on my house lately great help. Now it may not be my place to say but as a medical professional I have to tell you your heavy breathing has me worried. From my experience I detect signs of lung damage and it's not something i'd ignor if I were you. We all love you and you're work, please get this checked out. Weight gain is certainly a factor but I think you ma have more issues to worry about. Just get checked out for your health sake. Keep on keeping on Jeff you're a legend!
Much agreed. You’re worth the check up ( & much more ). Re weight: Over a couple years I went from 189 to 169 with portion control, then to 150 lb.s by cutting back on the carbs and some intermittent fasts (just means eating in a window, which for me was noon - 6pm’ish. Also got rid of some minor pre-diabetes symptoms at the same time. Go for it !! You’re great and we want you around a long time. Cheers.
I have no idea what parging is, but I really love this vid and the way you explain it!!
Amazing work and information. Thank you for sharing
I was just looking at my home thinking how much will that cost then your video popped up. I learn so much from your videos and also learn from reading the comments and your answers.
Glad I could help!
Thanks Jeff because I didn't know to wet the cement board before applying and that I should add the cement to the water. I've always seen it done in person the other way round. It's a good job I stopped before I wasted my cement and frustrated myself out of this well needed project. Tomorrow, I should do a better job and be able to finish too. Thanks again for your vid because all the others showed something else which I just didn't feel suited my situation.👌👍👊
Fantastic !!!!
Great work
I love this channel so much. Thank you
Great Video, Thank you for sharing.
My 60 year old parging is falling off. Very small parts I used quick set concrete with great success. But I need to use a different product for the bigger parts. Researching now.
Man always dropping the knowledge! Thanks again for another awesome video. :D
Any time!
Thanks for the video Jeff - I just learned something new. Ya Hoo!
Right on!
What a great channel! My DIY swearing got a lot less!👍🏼
Another great video, thank you.
Good video. You have a great delivery and good voice for tutorials.
Thanks my husband use to repair it. Now now I need to.
Uour teach questions will help me.
heh. I remember being the strong young guy doing that for a friend on his house. He elected to skip the plastic covering while it cured and it's still there 10 years later. I guess we got lucky. We used the garden hose to keep the substrate wet so no problem having it dry out on us.
awsome watching .im learning alot more thankyou keep it up dude
Good Save there Jeff!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Almost slip
Haha I thought the same thing. Big uuuh big holes.
Aww yeah I'm watching parging videos now ! thanks
Dam you’re good buddy. Thank you very much! Keep up these great videos!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
Thanks, will do!
Thank you!
Great! and not annoying!
Delightful!
This is awesome, thank you. Excellent stuff and corrected a few bad habits immediately.
What about over stucco and wood? Cement board over it?
Great tutorial - thank you. Subbed!
Saluted you absolute legend.
Good job amigo🤠👍🔨
Love all you videos always learn something new. Never notice that we’ll did n didn’t the part when you said name brand is always displayed is so true. Cause I always notice it but never thought about it how you said it. N also just learned something new about how to protect my home thanks
Very GOOD TIPS boss.Ur work is AWESOME👌👌KEEP IT UP.#GOODWORK
Awesome video!!
Thanks!
Great video, Jeff!
I have a question for you. I have an old (120 year old) house with limestone foundation and I bought a few bags of Natural Hydraulic Lime #3.5 from Merkley and I was wondering if, other than aesthetics, if there a benefit to parging vs just repointing and only filling cracks and gaps in between the rocks? Thanks!
bro ur awesome, i have same problem at my house now i know what to do now.. thank you. :D
Thanks!
Nice job
Thanks for this video! I’ve been thinking of parging my cinder block foundation since I bought my house. I have some old crawlspace vents (closed off in newly encapsulated Crawlspace) what do you suggest I fill the spaces with? Spray foam?
Great Video!! I’m actually looking to repair some cracking parging on my block foundation. The only problem is that no local home improvement stored carry “parging mix”. Not even the big boys like Lowe’s or Home Depot. Maybe that’s because a lot of new construction homes are poured foundations instead of block? 🤷🏻♂️ Any ideas?
Thank you
What are your thoughts on using some type of bonding agent, especially on the stacked stone part of the wall? Thanks!
Reminded me so much of The Red Green show. The gravelly voice, the heavy breathing and the fixer upper jobs. All you need is a dozen rolls of duct tape.
The heavy breathing is wild.
I literally had to take 10 minutes and go down the parging rabbit hole in Google to figure out what the heck parging is!!
Where did your search lead you?
@@dvxAznxvb It's a standard practice used to hide surface imperfections in the foundation work, cover form markings, etc. Primarily a decorative feature not unlike stucco, but stucco generally tends to have a pattern to it while parging is just a surface cover (loosely see it as paint for the foundation!)
@Crotch Banister That is my understanding. Don't believe it does anything structural and may add a layer to the waterproofing, but appears to be more cosmetic than anything.
hahahahah!!! literally just got done doing the same! Love this channel
Happy birthday Jeff
That burning alive in cement to your neck mob analogy sounds like you had a prior life. 😯😂😂
I wish you had done this video a year ago before I spent $3,000 to have someone do it wrong ... :'(
Awesome vid as always! Thanks for all the great work you do! :D
I have been alive for 50 years and never heard the word parging before 😂😂
Try 60!
Wow great video! I’m doing a fix and flip property and the exterior foundation is old school big stones and concrete and looks like crap. Was thinking of just repainting it, but now after watching this video I’m going to use the cement board and completely overhaul the foundation to make it look like new! Thanks for the awesome idea!
Fantastic video, what should I look for with parging mix, I don’t see that at Home Depot
Seems to be a Canada thing?
Hey Jeff! thanks for the tips! It would be interesting to see what these parged walls look now (two years later - 2022)
still perfect!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY with what can I cover exposed exterior foundation foam? Ground grade treated wood screwed on the foam? Screwing cement board on the foam and then parging? Or mesh then parge? I want easiest diy to protect the foam from UV and weather.
I really liked your video. I’m going with your method. I have some experience with concrete….hope for the best😁
HELLO, good video!
Alkaline resistant tape would mean the cement is alkaline which is the opposite of acidic. You are correct about burns, but it is from the alkalinity of the cement not acidity.
And if only I kept watching past the first couple minutes. FML lol
Poly-dipped gloves. I'm a desk jockey during my day job and a DIYer in the evenings. My hands are baby-smooth with only the most basic palm callouses, so I get irritated if even the dust gets on my hands and they get a little wet. Poly-dips don't have a finger-crease at the tip so you get that "Latex glove" feel AND they're alkali-resistant. Absolute life savers, they are. Also: I hate respirator masks and in these trying times, an N95 is like gold, but I HIGHLY recommend wearing one when you're dumping concrete into a bucket. I take it off after I mix, but if I don't wear a mask and make a dust cloud, I get the most disgusting grey-black snot and my lungs hurt for hours if I get a wiff. Plus, pretty sure extended exposure will lead to silicosis so....
Came down here to say this - Cement is very Basic, not Acidic. It results in a chemical burn but it is from the base not an acid.
Probably using acidic as colloquialism for dangerous PH of both types.
@@flightographist Silica is a substance naturally found in certain types of stone, rock, sand and clay. Working with these materials can create a very fine dust that can be easily inhaled. there is more sand in cement than cement .
Thanks
Also, how long do you wait to do the second coat of parg?❤️thank you!
Great video. It's funny how you have to go through the extra steps to get the cement to bond.b I've seen where a concrete mixer dripped onto the road and its there for years.
This is so true. Cement drips seems to last and last. No problems bonding, when you don’t want them to. Hmmm
Go Matt!
Hey Jeff, new to the crew but love your vids, wondering if you had any tips in education/starting a career in contracting in present day. Keep up the great work!
Great video! I learned every time I watch your videos!👍 Is this safe to be done in the garage?! The concrete on the bottom of the walls are cracked?! Thank you Jeff 👍👋🙏
That is correct
Good job
I thought I was the only one who makes that much noise working. Lol
Exactly the video I was looking for. I took a deck out that had a set of concrete steps in the bottom of the deck. So I tore the steps off but in doing so I left a big hole in the bottom of the house around the concrete area. Needless to say “parging” is the term I’m
looking for lol
Keeping your concrete wet when parging. Wow, I continue to be amazed by the many tips and tricks you can't seem to find anywhere else on the 'net. Is there some sort of secret resource of knowledge where you get your information from? Is this knowledge only obtained from years of experience? You're not just a teacher but also a student of the craft who picks up important tips and tricks that can be easily passed along to DIY viewers. Your sons are lucky to get the wisdom passed along at a young age from what you've obtained over the years.
Cheers, truth is I read the instructions years ago and was astonished nobody followed them.
He doesn’t get to say people don’t do it right. Completely incorrect there are companies that do it correctly and have been for years.
