that is so awesome, you really did it!!! I love that way it turn out

Thank you!! I had 2 leaks present at the same time and definitely no budget for a full fix right now. Especially since the corner where the leaks happened are where my porch and driveway meet the house ... dang it! We are expecting another storm tonight so fingers crossed this holds. Oh and my biggest pet peeve is when people take selfies with duck face or tongue sticking out ... ugh

Wow this guy sounds like he should be arranging flowers not pouring concrete.

Dude 🎉❤ algorithm brought me here 💪😎 and your content is mega ❤ thank you 🙏

Please, Enough with the background music it's giving me a headache!

What do you use to clean any oils or chemicals that might be on it?

You did a great job on it 👍 thanks for sharing and the good to know info. Stay safe and blessed 🙏

Broski if you don’t waterproof it from the outside ,you might be doing more harm than good waterproofing from the inside.

Love your videos man ! Answered all my questions about a dry pour for my smoker and blackstone. Tired of them taking up room on my concrete patio so i am doing a couple 4x6 pads on the side.

Michaaaaeeel! 💕😊

Hey Mike, I watched my first video of yours this morning before work. I've watched 3 more today. The first was building a concrete counter top; you said it was your first video. Since then the cool fire pit with compass, the fire table, and now this one. You've inspired me for sure. I'll do the counter top first , and polish it like you did in this vid. Just want to say thanks. I hope the products you used are available at my local home depot in Canada. Thanks. I'll post pics later

Hey Mike I found your doppelganger, Tom Buck! czcams.com/video/W-I2twhalgI/video.html

You are not only good in your presentation and thoroughness but funny. Keep up the good work Michael.

Great video!

I would keep the "failed" slab and fill in the voids with clear epoxy. Could look amazing.

Gold Standard info-vid! No waffling, just clear info with illustration/demonstration. ★★★★★

My neighbor with his million dollar house had a complementary shed made from the same materials as the house in his back yard. He would never touch a tool if you held his feet to the fire. He tore the shed down to put in a play set. I think his kid played on it maybe twice.

Highly recommend you not use this on the inside of your basement. Great for exterior. You don't want your block sitting it water like that where it can't effloresce. Better to let it dry to the inside than make a situation where the block degrades.

easy instructions are a rarity.

Too soon for the hammer 🔨

Poured 2 8'x30"x2" countertops. Added flow control to the water first which made it a lot easier on mixing with drill. Also added 2 packs Rapid Set to each bag of mortar to slow down the cure time with having to mix 7 55lb bags and it 85 degree here. Also added some chicken wire type wire to it to be safe with the 8 foot length. Followed the WD-40 and silicone in the video with no issue with sticking. Use my cordless Sawzall to vibrate the form and the bottom and edge came out perfect. Also add black pigment to the mix which work out nice.

Thanks 😊🇨🇦

about how many bags of concrete is needed for this? I love the idea, but trying to make a guestimation on cost

If using a "cement" mixer; while it is rolling, I like to add a bit of water to make sure the last batch was completely incorporated then I add the gravel to get all things mixing and then the sand and cement. When mixing in batches the measurement is in shovel fulls. Don't forget to wash your tools before it sets.

I know you were making this simple for the people but you may have over simplified because though cement may be 1 ingredient of concrete, cement is not one ingredient. It's made up of limestone, clay, gypsum, calcium, silicon, aluminum, iron and others fed though an assembly process that among other things cooks it at 2000 degrees F. I know, of course Michael that you know this, but this video kind of gives the impression that cement "grows on trees" as it's own element, and I think it's important to be clear as well as entertaining. 😃

How to create a fire on top of the Fountain?@Michel

I love watching your videos! Your delivery and explanation was awesome.

same as the difference between potato salad and mayonnaise.

This id definitely made to get veiws.

I love this channel! My real Dad passed two days ago and my father in law is dying. You definitely break the concrete between my two worlds. Thank you Sis!

Concete is the reactive substance (Portland cement) which functions as a bonding agent and concrete is cement, sand, aggregate and water.

Dude treating concrete like a kid making slime! 👍

.... i like his attitude. and, this is just a fun project, not retail. i like it, and was saying to myself..... "put some damned apoxy on it for shits-n-giggles.

My driveway is slopped, will self-leaving sealer still work on that?

I just found you with colored concertYes i subscribed

💙🩵💙

Like!

Okay, stupid question time.... I get that as a mix you would use Concrete on things like walkways, driveways and the like. But then what applications would you use cement only on?

😎✌🖖👌👍🤓

Great, simple, informative video! Saw a couple of the other comments on here! If you wanted, you could probably continue this little explainer series, and go into other things like making concrete stronger (rebar, fiberglass, etc.), what is mortar, etc., and even get into the physics aspects of concrete strength, etc., you know, if you wanted to go that route :)

Sorry the eggs are the water

Hi, i enjoy your videos, would love to know when possible to use cement only and also how would a cement only or motar dry pour workout?

1:00 Rule #1 about concrete is ... wear gloves and protective eyewear to prevent lye burns.🙄

I want some cake..

were is the follow up video, you promised a follow up video

Maybe a teensy bit more water?

Great explanation! Now what the heck is mortar? Does it have cement in it too?

So why use concrete over just the cement by itself? I'm going to assume it's stronger or last longer or something?

I'm in Michigan. Will you resurface my porch?

next video talk about additives and Flow Control (<-that stuff is magic)
