No one wants to point my Philly home wall. Watching your video has helped so much that my 70 yr old body can handle a 7' - 8' wall patch. Thank you.
Thanks Busi, I have a whole playlist on repointing stone work, and another on repointing brick, and others on foundation repair, where I show what type of cement I use, I hope they help, thanks Mike
As soon as I saw the “Dad” shoes I knew it was going to be educational and informative.
Thanks, Mike
That was what we needed, Mike. A quick and dirty lesson on how to make a small batch of concrete, either the old school way or the instant mix way. Many of us homeowners just need a cubic yard or less to do some patching, so thanks a lot for putting this together!
Thanks Mark, Mike
Mike I love a hard working guy like you that is willing to share their experiences!
Thanks Ed, Mike
Out of all the concrete videos I have seen, this one is the best! Thank you Mike
Thanks Randy, Mike
Hi Mike, every video I’ve watched on your channel has been so kindly instructional and encouraging. Thank you! Because of your instruction, I’ve just completed my first block and stone walls on a fort my husband and step son and I are building as a family project. It’s imperfect but, I’ve learned, “it ain’t no big deal” and I’m ever so grateful for you. Much appreciated!
Thanks Susan, I appreciate it, Mike
@@MikeHaduck Why TF do they no longer sell regular old Portland Cement???
Your wet mix concrete skills are great but your dry cubby concrete skills suck. That's NOT how to do dry concrete. Lol UNBELIEVABLE! I couldn't stop laughing uncontrollably when you poured the dry concrete into the form and then went directly to finishing it! Lmfao!!!
How on God's green earth can you finish dry concrete??? You can't, it's impossible....
Remove saint dryconcrete the name and it into the form. Drive in water, mixing it in the form....and then finishing it!!! I guarantee you if you try it my way your results will be much better!
Using the dry method isn't for everywhere but that's many applications it works great and will save you tons of time in the process, Without sacrificing it's strength. Obviously strength is first and foremost and finish is secondary however it's certainly possible to have a nice to finish with a Dry Pour although more often then not there's a good chance a fine finish will take slightly longer to accomplish with the "Dry Method ".
Please try throwing into your form dry and then add water and mix it best you can with a shovel and THEN KNOCK YOUR STONES DOWN AND FINISH IT OUT. YOU'LL BE MUCH HAPPIER WITH THE RESULTS, I PROMISE 100%!!!
PS. This Dry method is mainly for smaller home projects and it'll last just as long. However, I definitely wouldn't recommend this for commercial uses ESPECIALLY ANY STRUCTURAL USE LIKE FOUNDATIONS OR anything else that's going to have a tremendous load on it. I hope this helped. Have a great day! I do appreciate your effort, you have many good videos and good advice in almost everything I've seen (other than this video) so please keep up the good work. Much appreciated!
God Bless
Thank you Mike, you brought me back to the days, about 50 years ago, when I would help my father mix concrete the old-fashioned way for our house. Your video presentation shows that you are a natural teacher.
Thanks Rick, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
“Not gonna make a big deal out of it” it’s such good advice while doing construction. We overcomplicate things in our head.
Thanks Adriab. Mike
Thanks Mike, I showed my daughters your video and they are now getting into their concrete/repair projects…..Please keep your videos coming……Thank You!
Thanks Mark, Mike
Your videos are friggin awesome. Your knowledge and presentation & attention to detail is incredible. I'll be watching all your videos. Thanks, David
Thanks David, Mike
Thanks Mike. You help us lay-people feel better about starting projects and remove some fear about messing up.
Thanks lannyeg,,, Mike
Hey Mike! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I’m a 3rd year union pipefitter apprentice, as well as a first time homeowner…so I’m learning residential plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and now masonry via UA-cam. Keep up the great content. Thanks
Thanks Brevin,, Mike
You’ve been UA-cam certified
Great video, thanks to Honest Mike I was able to patch and resurface my driveway. Looks great and I saved $10,000!
Thanks James, Mike
One of the many amazing things about your channel is you review all your points in many vids. Hope this week is going to be sunny and delightful and you make some more songs. Thanks Mike
Thanks Thor, Mike
Huge wealth of information.
Thanks Mike for taking the time.
Thanks, Mike
Jeez, a common sense approach on how to mix and work with concrete. Who would have guessed? Extremely good video sir. Thank you for sharing your expertise and techniques with us. The first time I worked with concrete I found I had made soup, not concrete. Fortunately I had a second bag and that saved the day. One thing I found when working with concrete was that I did not have to go to the gym any longer, resulting in mucho dinero being saved. Thanks again.
Thanks, Mike
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Mike. About to embark on a small paver job and now I’m ready and confident. Salute, sir!
Thanks Puddin,, Mike
Mike - This is one of the best tutorials I have watched on U Tube yet . Your knowledge in prep work and concrete selections are barr nun impressive ! 👏off to you sir Mason 🙏
Thanks Richie, Mike,
Your videos are more informative than any of the others I've seen. I love knowing the comparison of how concrete was used years ago vs the new gimmick products! Thank you!
Thanks, Mike
I think this is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam. Thanks for all the valuable information.
Thanks Fernwood, Mike
Being a sort of hobbyist geologist and becoming smitten with lime and Portland after laying block with masons for two summers in high school, I really look forward to your videos every spring and summer. Thanks for all of the videos Mike, much appreciated over here in NJ.
Thanks Op,, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
Will an unused bag of sealed quikcrete left in my garage during winter freeze?
Mike, I always enjoy and learn from your videos!
Thanks Charlie, Mike
I have a lot of respect for Mike because you can tell he really cares enough about what he does to explain it to everyone...so that we find out there's some things you need to understand that only come with experience , like he has. Thanks Mike!
Thanks Mark, I appreciate the kind words, Mike
Yes he surely conveyed the message
This is the third video i've watched on the topic (beginner about to start a project), and this is the best video. A lot of real examples of working the material and good tips. Thank you

Thanks Darlene, Mike
Thank you very much for all the information. I am a senior and this will be my first time to try this. The areas near the front door and window, the sand looks awful and getting crumbly (if that's the word). You make it look easy.
Thanks, Mike
I just stumbled across this video. Nice to see some history added. I've been thru a pallet and a half of that blue line/high strength mix in the last year on a patio project that I have going on. I'm in love with it (the mix). That nice white it has once it is fully dry really has a nice "added touch" on the overall look.
Thanks Dave, Mike
I’ve been studying concrete for 2 years and have some big 30-50 yard pours and never learned what exactly is in the bag mix , thanks. Now I can easily do small jobs and posts, etc . Great explanation and example!!
Thanks Drew, Mike
This makes me want to do some concrete work! Nice explanation Mike.
Thanks trep, Mike
I started pouring concrete in 1999 for a concrete company we would always use trucks to deliver the concrete to do sidewalks, driveways or whatever. I just recently decided to replace an older side walk so I would tear out around 10 foot at a time then I would use 80 pound bags just like you were using here. I noticed that the 80 pound ready mix had a little to much gravel when using an edger or cutting in the control joints with a hand jointer. So I got a couple bags of Portland cement and a few bags of sand and decided to add a shovel of Portland cement and two shovels of sand the mix two 80 pound bags of ready mix and it made the finish a lot easier to have a little extra grout to work with the edges were very smooth and cutting in the control joints were a lot easier and looked much better.
Hi Andy, I hear you, and a little extra Portland never hurt, thanks Mike
Great Video Mike, Thanks for Sharing.

Thanks Patrick, Mike
Great video you explained everything so thoroughly. 👍
Thanks margo,, Mike
Love your videos, old skool fella, I'm a Kiwi, and we pride ourselves on our DIY culture. Trusting your advice on these videos is not a problem as the wisdom of your experience is easily recognized. On the other hand, trusting many if not most of the demo videos on UA-cam is difficult due to the clickbait factor - the do anything to make $$$ factor with UA-camrs. Keep em coming Mike, love your work.
