Mothers day (tomorrow)… 4 boys… 1 clueless dad… no gift… until…
- you saved my ass, thanks! This will be a great project for the boys to show mom some love!
I am so happy that he is here to help, my child has been looking for cool ideas for a project!
My 2 yo grandson watches your videos!
It's not enough I step on Legos inside the house, but now I gotta step on them outside 🤣🤣. Cute project but definitely not going to use Lego
🤣😂😅
Oo- young man... thank you 😁
(I knelt on lego once 😳. Not intentionally, I hasten to add. Obviously not reccomended.)
I did that with the grandkids to make gifts for their Mom's. We took shoes and socks off and put their foot impressions in them but Granny (me) had a hot water tank tray about 3 ft diameter and got all 3 of them (at that time, more now) to put their hands and feet prints in it, I went back and carved their initials next to their prints and the date then embellished with pieces of colored broken glass. Need to make a new one with everyone and reinforce it better as the first has cracked in 2 places. Maybe make it thicker too!
What a special way to preserve your grandkids' memories and create a lasting keepsake for their moms. The thought and effort you put into carving their initials and adding colorful details make it even more precious. We can’t wait to hear how the new one turns out!
This is so simple. I’m remodeling an antique mansion on my channel. Making a list of ideas for my landscaping. I’ve actually got quite a bit of concrete left laying around. This is such a good idea.
Thanks Aaron...and good luck on that Victorian, man!! It's gonna be great 💪🏼
I have been looking circle pavers. I can make them myself. Thanks!
Daniel!! I’ve missed you man! I have been working on my house. And you’re such an inspiration!
Thanks so much, +mim l!! It's good to hear from you again. And I'm sure the house is coming along! What's you latest project? Did you finish up that kitchen overhaul??
Lowe's Home Improvement omg 😮 I can’t believe you remembered! I actually moved. But I have been up cycling furniture,redoing my apartment and helping a friend makeover their house. And your help is always appreciated!
Lowe's Home Improvement I honestly just did some grout and tiling last week on my friends house. 😆
The video was great and the stepping stones were am
It's really awesome 😎👍
Thanks ✌️
Wow beautiful content, 😁
And…are these purely decorative or can you truly step on them on a regular basis without them cracking?
Is there a way you can prepare the molds so you can reuse them?
Possibly! I thought about using cooking spray before pouring so that it would slide out easier, but we didn't have any on-hand. If you find a way to preserve them, let me know!
Cooking spray worked well when I did the project.
You could try plastic wrap, but it does leave fold marks. That side can sit against the ground and nobody will know.
Hello. Nice video! The plastic pale mold was brilliant!
Anyways, I'm using the river rock set that's attached to mesh. Im wondering how to go about it... pour 3/4 (or whatever amount), then press in the mesh and rocks, pour remaining concrete, clean off rocks and press concrete to level and connect through mesh, use damp rag to clean rocks, let cure over night. Sound good?
I did it with my granddaughter
Just give me the best brands to use.
Instead of concrete mix can I use quick dry sand mix?
Great question! We do not recommend switching concrete for a quick dry sand mix as it's not as strong.
The words concrete and cement seem to be used interchangeably. They’re not the same, are they? I bought concrete and it didn’t work at all.
Is there any way to add a photograph to a stepping stone so that it will last?
I see this is from 4 months ago. Did you figure out a solution?
Omg Danny go!

It's a good idea but ur designs are so shite haha
get up is not Father's Day.
