Great stuff mike.
When I’m doing my cement fixes around the house now, and I catch myself getting bogged down in details, I find myself mumbling “it’s no big deal, just get it done”. 👍🏻

Thanks Luke. Very true, Mike

I love the variety of different jobs. The channel never gets old. Great job as always Mike.

Thanks Ray, mike

[@bedigeneyingu1692]

You are a God-send. By these video tutorials you have reached continents. "Ain't no big deal", I will "just get it done" in Uganda. I am not a professional but I watch your tutorials religiously since I come from a country where a lot of building have collapsed due to poor construction. I have to have a clue so that I don't pay the "new school" people for a death trap.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, nice to hear from Uganda, Mike

[@DuncanCunningham]

I originally started to follow Mike to learn, which I still do.. but now I enjoy watching him work these jobs... and the trick with the sand was great.. never thought of that.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Duncan, mike

[@lukewaidmann3678]

Ageeed, the sand was good. I’ll use that one for sure.

Since watching your video series Mike I've been using the Mortar Mix much more.
Used to apply fast curing concretes but, in my short experience with the
Rapid Set products, they work better. Thank you for the benefit of your
talent and experience. I also think diamond blades and grinding wheels
are one of God's gifts to masons and contractors.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, I agree, mike

[@65csx83]

Surprisingly easy fix for what appeared to be a major problem. Expected you would paint it with Portland as part of prior prep to assure patch would positively adhere.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi 65, Not with the fast drying, just have to have it wet and get it in those groves, thanks Mike

[@lendavidhart9710]

Hi Mike Haduck thank you for posting this, i learn from every video you post, that I watched.
To eliminate “honey comb” take your brick trowel and slide it back and forth between the concrete and the 2x4 form, several times, this will set the stones in the mix to edge way better, because it takes the voids out along the edge of the pad/ newly placed concrete.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Len, it drys so fast, I dont have the time and don't want to disturb it much once in place, thanks mike

[@lukewaidmann3678]

No stones in this one. But I see what your saying.

Mr.Mike at 3:18 you say you look at Mortar rapid set as cement now??? what the length of time it will last then crumble ??? i used some mortar to patch my steps on my porch and guess what it fell apart after 8 years,,,, I just don't remember what type of mortar mix i used 8 years ago. ,, and today i go to home depot for portland mix and sand... and gravel rocks tiny rocks. but i know it is Mortar mix because i installed it and it is very light weight like a sponge or a seat cushion material that you took from your brothers car seat when he was not looking, Haha... or grabbing car seat cushion material in your neighbors trash... Haha... i just love all your videos and this one is just Another Great Video that i have learned to make a groove in old cement with a grinder and i do have 2 of those grinding disc already never use them but will now thank you. and i love the way you made those cement wood forms to hold new cement .. stay healthy Mr. Mike.... make more new video each week ...

i was watch Mortar Mix sales videos and it said a lot of great info on Mortar mix and the types of mix for sale and the uses of it. i remember one part of the video about the great mortar mix for overhead jobs on a bridge and how it will not sag and fall apart it will hold together and not sag which is important to me for i do overhead repair. and how some types of Mortar mix is super strong for bridge rebar install and large bolts install super strong Mortar Mix ... you should do a video on Mortar Mix uses, just say`n

Great video Mike. I have to do some patch work at my mother’s home in Hazleton. Every joint in the cement walkway is splayed open. Do you ever use the concrete skim coating products after you patch to give the hide the patch and make the entire walkway look uniform??Thanks. I subscribed to your channel.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi James, no, just the techniques I use, sometimes the mud trick or some coloring, thanks mike

[@YouTh3r3]

Did you say you use cementtall to fill in those little holes after you grind out the uneven surface? I wonder if I can use that on repairing the chimney crown so I don't have to buy different cement for each of my little projects.

[@MikeHaduck]

Check out my chimney repair videos, that might help, mike

[@SpotBentley]

If that was the edge of a garage floor where there the wheels travel, would you still use the mortar mix? Or would you use something like SIKA 123?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi D C, I never used the sika, so I can't say, whatever works, every situation is different, thanks mike

[@borys444]

I thought mortar mix doesn’t hold up in ur part of PA? I’m surprised u didn’t add a little Portland to it. Great video mike, thank u for ur time.

Hey, Mike. What would you recommend using if you want to resurface a garage? I don’t see a lot of videos of you doing garage touch ups. Mine is eating away from winter and parking in the garage. All the snow melt.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Michael, usually garages are patches ,floor paint or epoxy finishes, inside garages are a different animal, thanks mike

[@MikeSheasheaDtree]

Mike if you tapped on the front facing form, would that alleviate you from having to go back and fill in the front after it dried?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, i dont want to do that, it drys fast and might loosen it, if that makes sense, thanks mike

[@johncasor9698]

is it true that a control joint should be 1/4 the depth of the slab ??? and on a 4'' deep slab a control joint should be every 10 feet ???

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi John, I dont think there is a standard debt I usually go 1 inch and a half, to make sure and control joints as many as I think necessary, for me the more the better, I don't want call backs thanks, mike

[@jeremiahbush3195]

My dads porch has 4 x 6 solid blocks under his porch top and they are all cracking. He replaced them all about 10 years ago. Are they cracking because he put a mortar joint on the top of them which attaches it to the porch top.
If we redo them should we not put mortar on the top of the block so its no longer attached to the porch top? Thanks I appreciate your videos and time makeing them.

Hi Steve, I cant answer that unless I was there, but going off the footer first sounds right, mike

Hi Mike love watching all your videos and have used your tricks of the trade in jobs I have done. Just a question I notice you don’t always wear a mask when handling material dry in all your years. Is that something you think only came into effect in recent years?

Those "oysters" in the cement against the form board can be avoided by sliding your trowel up and down between the form and the concrete while you're filling the form.

Hi randy, it drys fast, no time, thanks mike

[@alwatts4108]

Mike, why not used Portland cement on the steps its stronger than mortar

Hi Al,, it's really not mortar, it's way harder, but that is how they label it, thanks, Mike

[@lukewaidmann3678]

Mike, what about “tapcons”? Always see other TH-cam patch advice saying to use tapcons. Is cutting in with grinder just as good for grabbing? Those tapcons are really expensive. So it would be nice to use them less.
