- I patch a concrete driveway using rapid set (fast drying) on one side and Portland and sand on the other side. All my videos are my ways and ideas, I always suggest anyone doing any type of work to consult professional help. www.amazon.com...
Your the BEST EVER concrete layer by far…..you explain it so well with less nonsense talk YOUR THE BOMB
Thanks, Mike
You're the "Bob Ross" of concrete, haha! I've watched lots of videos about repairing concrete because our porch needs some patching, and I don't want to pay thousands of dollars to have it jackhammered, which is what most local companies want to do. This was the best, by far! I'm ready to tackle my little porch! I was an art teacher for many years, and have been doing home projects since I was 20. This will be a new one to try.
Thanks Linda, mike
I've thought that same thought before. Bob Ross of stone masons. It must be true! Great video, proof that we can use the mortar mix on the porch steps even in the thinner spots! Thanks Mike!
I find myself getting hooked on Mike Haduck. Video’s. . “ I’m not going to make a Big Deal
Out of it !
@@diz0baby. Ok
What a genuine guy. Mike, I appreciate your video's so much.
Thanks Ben, I appreciate it, Mike
Dear Mike, i sincerely appreciate every single time you say “Not make a big project out of it - not make a big deal out of it “ and also your consistency repeating yourself. Its very helpful for my style of learning
Thanks Allzwel, Mike
I just love it when he say "it's no big deal" 😎
Thanks Barry, I notice I been saying it more, lol, mike
Mike, another very helpful video. You are so fortunate to still have your father.
Thanks Clint, yep I am taking him for a ride up the cabin today, mike
Mike guys like are very rare these days
Teaching people bet. Old school and new
School just like body else said ; straightforward and knowledgeable
I am 63 yoa and didn't know anything about how to work w/ cement concerte mortar and more BUT your videos are making me like an expert cuz I am currently fixing my house
thanks man , you are very good man and respected
I hope you get blessed for your efforts
Thanks Alex, the comments keep me going, mike
Thru the whole video I was thinking what you finally said at the end -“A patch is a patch is a patch..” So true. Patching concrete is a real art. I was never much of a patch man myself, but when I found a good one, I would hang on to him, whatever it took! Sometimes I would have to pay a good patch man as much as I paid lead carpenters. They’re hard to find..
🤜🤛
Thanks paid, mike
I'm so grateful for your older videos. I'm getting ready to patch my driveway...
Thanks, do a little practice first and you will figure it out, thanks Mike
i don't do that type of work and truly admire how dedicated and well he explain everything,thanks for sharing.
Thanks Syntax, Mike
You're awesome Mike with all you do! You have given us motivation with your lessons to do our own driveway patches after getting bids from businesses.
Thanks Jay, I hope it works out, Mike
Love his comment...”you don’t have to make a big project of it”! Exactly! Thanks for a great video!
Thanks, mike
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! We moved into our home three years ago, and our retaining wall and 50 year-old bricks are falling apart. Learning characters of mud, Portland, cement, quickset, cement, sand, gravels, watering concrete first, etc helped me to understand how masonry materials work together. So excited to be able to do some work in my backyard without asking my bank to loan some money!
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
Just like that and it’s done. You make everything seem so easy. I’m becoming a fan of your work and your generosity in sharing your knowledge, thanks!
Thank you test, I appreciate it, Mike
He does make it look so easy!
Im a contractor and I love your videos. I build new but every now and then I get PATCH work.. Thank you Mike!
Thanks Ricky, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
What a good guy Mike is! I don’t like getting my hands dirty, but that doesn’t stop me from watching Mike “GETTING IT DONE” over and over again! Your lifetime of hard work has really paid off, Mike-THANK YOU for showing us the COUNTLESS tricks of the trade!!👍👍⚒
Thanks again Rick, mike
Thank you so much for making these videos. You helped me patch an inch wide shallow crack on my garage floor without it being this big over-complicated thing. Also love the mud trick- it worked beautifully to blend in the new patch. Thank you!
Thanks Echord, Mike
Thank you my brother you just blessed my socks off down here in Louisiana. I have a couple or 300 feet of blacktop driveway and you made me feel pretty good. Like I was praying I did the right thing. Been 7 years ago, and it looks slammin to me and the big boss. But anyway, my brother, thank you very much for taking the time to share that with us. I pray you and yours have a blessed day.
Thanks Steven, God bless, Mike
Thanks Mike I have been watching a lot of your videos you're straightforward and extremely knowledgeable thanks for sharing years of your experience I love how you keep reminding to keep it wet which can easily be forgotten thank you again for your great ideas it's helped me out a lot have a great day and a big thumbs up to you
Thanks Brian, mike
InstaBlaster.
Beautiful Delivery, great commentary and I can also see a lot of old school knowledge and know-how at work. I also love the mud disguises. Truly inspiring and informative. Your mannerism (no big deal) and your total approach is top shelf. I just love it. Cheers Brother !!
Thanks Andrew, Mike
Sir, You are indeed a craftsman. You explain and explain until even I can understand. I now feel confident enough to fix my broken front steps and cracked backyard patio area. Thank You, so much.
Thanks, mike
Absolutely Love the old skool vs Rapid Set repairs, great video !
Out west we use the expression " A Patch is a Patch '
which means don't hesitate to cut out some drywall to get a job done right.
Thanks, Mike
I attempted to fix my concrete patio cracks, before watching your video, glad I found your channel, binge watching your videos now, thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks Alonza, mike
Great Instructional video! Now I feel confidant enough to patch my driveway.
Thanks y2, I hope it works out, mike
THANK YOU !!! this was PERFECT for what I needed. MUCH better than taking everything out to the dirt and doing a whole new pour for tens of thousands of $$$
Thanks Danelle, Mike
Best "old school" how to video on UA-cam.
Thanks, Mike
I tell everyone who admires my masonry projects that all they need to do is follow Mike's directions on his UA-cam channel. I've resurfaced a block chimney, built a slate covered stoop and Portland painted an old garage floor. Thanks Mike, you've saved me thousands.
Thanks dbor, , that’s great , it is what these videos are all about, I appreciate it, mike
Old mud trick! Priceless knowledge. You made my day sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Tracy, Mike
Man I love to watch tradesmen work. Thanks for putting so much effort into sharing your knowledge and experience with everyone. A lifetime of learning.
Thanks honeyforce,,Mike
Excellent instructor, hit it with the Portland, no school like the old school! Make sure everything is wet, paint it on, old school bonding agent. Thanks Mike for your wisdom, and especially your videos, you are breathing new life in me,God Bless!
Thanks Robert, God bless also, Mike
I’m getting shrink marks on my face...maybe I’ll try the mud trick 😃 Thanks Mike for another great video, love to watch you work your magic 🎩
Thanks Sanders, I use coconut oil, lol. Mike
That's cute concerning the mud mask 😷😄
WOW, now I know what to use as a knee pad !! This guy is awesome.
Thanks, mike
Now I feel confident to tackle my small driveway project (2'x12' fix) Most of the driveway is Tar, but at the garage the concrete area is breaking up. N.E. sand and salt does a # on it. Thanks Mike.
Thanks Phil, Mike
Thanks for the tips Mike! Every generation tries to reinvent the wheel. Really enjoyed the side by side demo.
Thanks Cary, mike
Mike, thanks for sharing your knowledge and explaining the different methods.
Thank you Steve, mike
Thank you because we are getting ready to do our drive way this spring and we are putting Black top . Thank you
Thanks, Mike
Splendid! I'm learning again and again from my mentor, just what i wanted to know for my courtyard path! Thank you so much, Mike!
Thanks Daniela, Mike
The ol mud trick, first I heard of it thanks for the tip hope it stays around for the young generation as a patch method.
Thanks Gary, mike
You're right mike, things could be easily done the old trick way. Thanks a lot;
You're right mike, things could be easily done the old trick way. Thanks a lot;
Mike, you sir are a scholar and a gentleman. I have used several of your techniques over the years with amazing success!! Thanks from Albany, New York.
Thanks james, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
Thank you Mike! I was nervous to do my own cement patching and resurfacing and you gave me the guts! It looks great! Go sponge go! Thanks again
Thanks lisa, Mike
Another great video!- I wish I would have stumbled over your vids before I tried to fix my garage pad last year- but now I have a chance to do it all over again the right way- Like my Dad always used to say- "Any job worth doing- is worth doing twice"
Thanks Aiki,,, Mike
Mike gets it done ! Great teacher. Thanks Mike .
Thanks, mike
Love watching a "craftsman" at work. Very informative!
Thanks Tom, mike
"No big deal"...Mike Haduck...the most famous mason I know
Thanks Bee, Mike
Yup. No big deal. Like Mike says, all repairs are temporary.
Wow!!! You rock my world, I’ve tried several of your fixes, awesome!!!! Going to the next step now with the painting w/Portland. Can’t wait!!!!!! My driveway is going to be marvelous!
thanks pony, it brightens it up for a while, I hope it works out, thanks mike
This is what experience gets you. A masterpiece. Nothing beats working knowledge. Great job
Thanks Terry, mike
I learn an awful lot watching your videos. I never heard or seen anybody using the mud trick. I believe that is a great idea and so simple. Thanks Mike....
Thanks again Larry, mike
You did a great job explaining your steps and showing 2 different ways of completing the job. Plus you put in a little humor. Thanks for this great show and tell video.
Thanks y g,, mike
Mike Haduck, "The King of Concrete" Thanks for another great video!!
Thanks Galen, Mike
The tailgate revisits are some of my favorite things about this channel. Greatness. Hope your week is going great Mike! and make music.
Thanks thor
Refreshing to see that some craftsmen still have pride in their profession .
Thanks for the kind words, Mike
nice job!! I like the side by side comparison of the 2 methods. that was cool.
Thanks Sue, mike
I'm addicted, I've been watching your channel for years, and just never get tired.
To be honest I don't think I ever will. Thank you for these outstanding uploads on resurfacing and other amazing masonry work Mike. Just Amazing to watch Satisfying indeed!!!
Thank you Richard, I keep trying, mike
It's an honor watching you work. You are a true expert.
Thanks, mike
I love the old-school technique as they do last longer than modern stuff in construction and cost less when you are trying to budge. I agree that cemented on its own is a bonding agent when activated with water but you really do need to keep on top of things when you're doing it yourselves. My late father taught me old-school techniques in construction and I still use them today at my own home. Great video thank you as it is always good to see old school techniques used in DIY it also saves you hundreds of $$$$$/£££££.
Thanks Francis, mike
Mike - your trowel technique is amazing - you've inspired me to repair a poorly finished and badly damaged concrete floor. I'll let you know how it turns out - thanks for the insight!
Thanks John, mike
Another 20 minutes we'll spend.....love this guy.
Thanks John, Mike
i love your old school theorys! keep videos coming!....i tell everyone about you. gonna order your shirts when budget lets me. im sold out to your knowledge!
Thanks Chris. I appreciate it, Mike
I just got done watching a lot of videos on repairing concrete, and this was the BEST! I love the mud trick, and it’s obvious you know what you’re doing. Sometimes it’s not so clear on UA-cam. Subscribed! (Ps. Great presentation, you get right to the point, and all of the information was gold!)
Thanks lurkling,, Mike
Thanks Mike. He gave you an awesome gift!
Thanks Ron, Mike
Mike thank you so much for this presentation that gave me the desire to he the bull by its horns the issue is that I’m selling my house but the realtor just informed me that she has to report the township some sidewalk damage and the charge you like 900$ per square fit of Repaired concrete sidewalk and I just told her I’ll do it but I wasn’t sure and after this video I’m sure now that I can accomplish that task as well. Txs again Mike. I appreciate it.
Thanks Dario, check out my driveway ans sidewalk resurfacing videos also, thanks Mike
Best video on the repair showing the right method to do it professional! Thanks!
Thanks Louie, Mike
I dont wanna make a big deal about it....but I enjoy watching your videos
Thanks I appreciate it, mike
It's a pleasure to watch a pro show how it's done.
Thanks Dennis, mike
Great job 👏🏻 Love the fact that I can do my job very inexpensively.
Thanks Judy, Mike
Mike you are great scientist-- I salute you
Thanks Ravi, I appreciate the kind words, Mike
I used some of the new quick dry on my concrete drive thanks to you but its look white. Gone try the mud trick. Thank you for your help. God bless
Thanks Darrell, check out my videos on resurfacing driveways, that should help also , thanks Mike
It's been a long time since I watched your video. I work in this business. So it's nothing new now. But you are a good guy. Congrats on all your new viewers!! Peace!!
Thanks lost in time, I appreciate it, mike
Thanks MIKE for your videos on repairing concrete this is a lot cheaper then paying to have them foam filled and you don't have to be a expert .
Thanks jo, mike
Hi Mike . I’m a mason from the UK . Great to see your methods and experience .
Thanks Paul, I appreciate it, mike
Thanks for reply: just looked at other video. I think you covered my question. Thanks again!
Thanks Steve, mike
Mike, sir, you are an excellent teacher. No doubt a great boss too. Thank you.
Thanks mac, Mike
Here for the shoes!
Ty you mike for all your value
Thanks Jonez, Mike
Thank you for posting/sharing, i gave the video a like.
Edit, Mike i wanted to let you know, since i started watching your videos, not only have i picked up/learned more about masonry but i also learned how to make comments, and videos better.
Thanks Len, I appreciate it, mike
Mike, best wishes from Edinburgh. Just having a quiet afternoon then I came across this very entertaining video.
Made my day go better.
Thanks Jon, Mike
Thanks Mike for this great video - I have concrete steps (say 8 feet wide with 3 steps up) that have cracked down the middle and dropped slightly with maybe a 1/2 inch gap...I will try the new school rapid set hidden with your mud trick! Thanks from New Zealand (never snows or gets too cold where I live). 👍
Thanks Trevor, I have videos on concrete step repair. And stone step repair maybe it will help, mike
I enjoy your videos very much! Used some of your techniques to patch and paint my driveway with Portland. Keep making the videos!!
Thanks James, mike
Great job as always Mike!
Great video Mike. Well, I'm done for the season. I accomplished a lot thanks to you and your knowledge. It was a long 6 months. Worth it though. A few hiccups, some blood, sweat and tears but all and all it worked out well. I'll pick up in March of next year, God willing. This video will come in handy when I strip the large patio deck - next year. The pitting isn't as bad as what you repaired but not great. About 4 layers of old chipping paint too. Hope you're well, and I'll keep on watchin'. Have a safe winter.
Thanks Dolores, great to hear, mike
Non-shrink grout will outlast the pavement around it, and it's super solid. There's a structural epoxy, and that in combination with the structural grout is very hard to destroy. You just have to keep it wet while it cures with a wet towel over the top. I patched my garage with it, and it's great. Just my additional two cents.
Thanks Joe, I appreciate the comment, Mike
Awesome information! Thank you for sharing. I've only used the patch repair kits many times but had no idea about the old school way.
Thanks, Mike
this is just a simple patching video. this guy turns it into some history lesson
Thanks, Mike
When I'm working on something, it helps my anxiety to invoke the Mike Hadduck mantra:
"It aint no big deal." "Don't gotta make a project out of it."
Thanks David, I appreciate it, Mike
Found the Rapid Set Mortar mix works well for the flatwork repairs we do Mike.
Great video and discussion of the two approaches.
The Mortar mix I've used so far has a fairly gritty sand stone aggregate; bigger and gives better traction than a smaller sand. It works really well on a drive. Customers seem to like that it cures quick and doesn't allow our mason crew to stand around and wait for the older Portland to harden. We're in we're out.
Thanks pensive, I agree, Mike
Thank you Mike for your tips etc. My 1st time watching you and very informative. I have to do a square in my side walk. A few years ago I had to do the same square with no type of ideals. Thanks again for your information and you appear as if you love your work and enjoy sharing the information. May i say God bless you 🙏.
Thanks E, God bless also, Mike
I learn how to fix concrete now.
Thanks master.
Thanks UHS, I hope it helps, mike
Mike, you’re a, “National Treasure!”
Thanks for the tutorials
Thanks Fred, Mike
Thanka alot, really appreciate the tips. Money saved is money earned. God bless'ya Mr. Haduck.
Thanks Tony, mike
Great work! Mike I respect what you do and the trade. It’s not easy work but you make it look like it is that’s years of experience . Thank you for passing on the knowledge much appreciated
Thanks Vincent, mike
Thank you for sharing your wisdom Mike
Thanks, Mike
Way to go Mike, your the best!
Thanks Cheryl, Mike
Got some hair cracks on driveway that insurance wants repaired, time constraint too as it has to be done before April 21, I have never done it, now in my case I dont think it has to look pretty, just repaired; I will reckon they will see the difference between the newly patched strips and old concrete but I am hoping as long as they see the hairline is filled they will settle down, the driveway is about 21 years old. Insurances are a pin in the arse to say the least; the cracks are there but does not present any "security" risk as they claim is the reason to want the repairs, if the slab would brake in half and a section lift off that is a different matter but that is not the case now, anyways, glad I watched here, great tips. I am using just quickrate cement patch.
Thanks, Mike
Thanks Mike. Your advice is much appreciated!
Thanks Eli, Mike
You're the man Mike? I'm about to repair my sidewalk here in Sakatchewan.
Thanks, I hope it helps, Mike
Mike I'm in the UK and working on a wall in my garden and trying to match an existing wall (dressed limestone) my cottage is dated at about 1830 ish, after watching your video's every time I come across a problem I find myself asking what would Mike do ! If you are ever back in the UK look me up, I'd love to take around some of the old stonework in the Cotswolds and some of the Welsh castles. Great video as always.
Thanks Niall, I appreciate it, mike
Quikrete makes a cement in a bucket which is an Anchoring Cement that is runny and designed to expand when it dries so you can pour it around a hand-rail. So I think I will mix a little of that in with the portland and sand so that it will not shrink and crack.
Hi, I never did that so I can't say, thanks, Mike
PAINT IT ON!!!!! I'll never ever never never forget to PAINT IT ON, just like the Ol'Timers did great video very helpful and i got a good laugh at your mantra
Thanks Jeremy, Mike
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with so many people
Thanks Walter, mike
