Perfect timing! I was just about to do the very same around my garage and patio. Your technique is much cleaner looking than the last time I did it. I think I'll follow your tips this time around. Thanks Jeremy!
This is super good information! I am about to have my pathways in my garden concreted and the paths themselves stamped. I'll be looking to do this along with that job for sure. Thank you!
Having been in the concrete polishing industry for the past decade we just rub a bar of soap over the edges of the control joint, fill the joint with polyuria and then razor blade off any of the surface excesses and call it a day. The tape would be too time-consuming. and we backer rod if there isn't enough dirt in the control joint to take the place of the backer rod. It's the only advantage to a dusty worksite. They do sell a small wheel on a handle to sink the backer rod to the proper depth at just about any hardware store. It's what you will see done at most all commercial examples.
Hi Jeremy! Always so happy to see a video from you guys! I learn so much from you. And get ideas, which my husband isnt always so happy about 😂. Now should I be happy I am actually early enough to beat the comments?? Or sad Im missing out on your awesome replies?? 🤔 I'll just have to rewatch in a couple hours so I get both!! 😀
That looks better than I thought it would and probably something I will do to my saw cuts. I hope in a year we can get an update video from you on some of these products that you have used and how they handle daily life.
I should probably seal some of the big cracks in my driveway. Actually managed to get my foot caught in one of them and flew forward. Even though I do martial arts and I know the proper way to fall, out of instinct, I put my hands out and ended up scraping quite a bit of skin off of one knee, both hands, and sprained a wrist. Ouch. Unrelated, that's an awesome view, and I think it would be neat to sit out on that porch and drink some coffee in the morning.
I call the Expansion Joints in my Shop Floor the "magnet". Every small screw or nut I drop seems to find it's way into the Joint. Have to try this to end one of many headaches!!
Good call on the backer Not sure you really needed to tape it, when the concrete guys do this on any job site I've been on they fill the joint then they take a scraper over the joint to take off the excess.
Oh, just in time! I broke my leg yesterday, two bones cracked. Wondered how to fix those! LOL. Never heard of the self leveling stuff.Actually, I never heard of filling those expansion joints. Interesting. More progress is good!
Dang. We used a different product that wasn’t self leveling and thick. Had to finish “trowel” it myself. Came out good but a lot of work. Wish I woulda done it this way. Also, tape is everything on this job.
It’s just regular painters masking tape to make a clean line while the sealant cures. When you pull it off you have a perfect joint. Otherwise you would have a sloppy mess.

do you recommend this for in between patio pavers?
No only concrete
This is actually a very helpful video! Trying to figure out the best next step for someone (like me) who knows nothing…lol THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful!
I watch a few of the other build channels. Finally, someone who uses the word "cure" correctly instead of "dry".... THANK YOU :)

When I worked in the semi trailer industry, they used the sika flex brand. Very durable in deed.
That view kills me everytime. Thanks as always for sharing.
Nice to have a light Sunday brunch...Thx
I have watched this build series from the beginning....sad to think it's nearing the finish line..... watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

Right on, wrote the name of that stuff down👍. Another box checked, every single one counts!! Thank for sharing, smiles and blessings...
There's an Amazon link to it in the video description under Tools & Resources. You can also get it at Lowes 👍
Can I ask if filling the expansion joint defeats the purpose of the expansion joint? And if not, why not?
Thanks-
The sealant is flexible and pliable and seals out water without preventing the joint from moving.
Ooooo! We like perfect 😉 Great tip on using the cord stuff to lessen the depth.

That view is so spectacular
Your view is absolutely stunning!!!!! And you’re very handy. 😀. Is there anything you can’t do? I’m guessing not. 😁
I can’t play the drums and I can’t give birth. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
@@Guildbrookfarm you’re funny too!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah I plan to do that.
And....that beautiful view!

When are you going to put up guard rails on the patio? What is Irish and stays out all winter? Patio furniture!

Thank you! Very useful!
Thanks for sharing this tip
Nice. . . . Thank you for sharing that.
Aloha! Good tip! Thank you!
Can I come over sit on your porch and drink a few beers and maybe spark one up? Looks so inviting!
We just did that all around our pool!
Very nice video
That deck was the best money you've spent on the house granted the windows and doors are good buy too.
Great video thanks again
What is the tape you use and why do you use it on a finished drive/patio? Ii it to protect drive from run off?
It’s just regular painters masking tape to make a clean line while the sealant cures. When you pull it off you have a perfect joint. Otherwise you would have a sloppy mess.
Thanks
😎🤙🦅
I'm just waiting for you guys to finally put up a railing around your porch / balcony, so that you don't fall off. 😮
Are you going to seal the rest of the concrete with a clear sealer ? Thanks.
We did that after we poured the slab. I’ll do another coat once we finish the build.
@@Guildbrookfarm, can't believe I missed that. Thank you.
What brand do you recommend to seal driveway concrete and where can I buy it? TIA
Contact your local ready mix concrete plant. They always have the best stuff or know where you can get it.
Is that side going to be uncovered?
Yes. It's a deck.
You also need to seal the concrete slabs itself otherwise the concrete is porous and water soaks in will crack...
That was done when we poured
I think it’s time for Jeremy to bring back the long hippy hair.
😯👍👍👍👌
