Thanks for sharing. Helps a lot. The unsuspected injected humor was pretty cool too.

Nice video. This is just what I need for some short term repairs in my 90yo one-car garage.

Love the Milwaukee Mud Mixer and Leaf blower

thanks for the info and the humor!

I was just about to say I learned an extra trick today just throw the tools on the ground when done

Excellent video, short , right to point, names tools and concrete product

Great videos! Thanks for the info!

Incredible! Super valuable info!!

Great video U did a really good job with the driveway

Nice work! Can't wait for part 2.

You’re 100% right about a mixing drill. I go the 1/2” cheapo corded spade drill (63112) from Harbor Freight for mixing mortar and concrete. 99.9% of the time it’s sitting on a shelf but well worth the $40 bucks for when I need it.

This helped alot. Thanks.

Wow great video mate

Thx. Inspiring video. I had some agregate done last yr and it cracked and popped up near the stairs because the contractor didnt put expansion joint. Now he doesnt return my calls. Very dissapointed but this video helps me get over it. Ill repair it myself.

Awesome video! You should try Cement All for some of the leveling and patching. Its fast setting, stronger, and more reliable bond strength.

It's definitely a temp fix, keeps guys like me in business,My business is about 1/2 tear out and replace, 1/2 decorative. There is definitely better overlay products, but these guys are your sponsor so good job trying it out. Were in the business of making money and building relationships. This spring I will be interested if it survived. I'm in Iowa, so close to u and about same weather

Great video.

Haha i like the way ur throwing ur tools!:) btw thats hell of a car wish i could drive one just for a day!!!

I like the old driveway...

Mighty Moe Excavating gives thumbs up 👍

I found this video very helpful. Nobody likes the color, but it's the homeowner's choice. Not everyone has the same taste.

i may have to do this for our driveway

Another important thing is to drill and fasten some tapcons that protrude beyond the broken surface and below the finished surface so that the concrete has something to grab in the event of shrinkage and frost.

Love the video.

Great info. I'm using that stuff tomorrow on a project.

Awsome!

This is very nice! Great work! Have you heard of the Concrete Crack Lock™?

Great job on the driveway

My driveway is small just enough to park 2 cars. Can’t wait to do this

you done spray on paving/ sprayon stencil, i'm lookin at troweling it on then running a stipple float over it

Always use a face shield when using a chop saw, I saw a guy rip open his face from the shroud handle when the saw bound up.

Nice!

Ad/video all in one.

Great video! Can you do a review on the mixer?

You’ve got to make more review vids on ventracks and bobcats and stuff and job sites going bad

Thanks for the video! Where can I find Part 2? I've got a driveway that is cratered: the concrete on top has popped off in hundreds of little craters that end in the gravel that was used to thicken the concrete. Maybe they used too much gravel? Anyway, I watched this video mostly to learn about the sealer you used and to figure out whether it would work in my situation. My driveway has areas that are cratered and areas that aren't.

Sika 623 is a superior product. Can also be mixed with 10mm stone.

Stanley what's best cheap leaf blower you know that mulches and bags

thanks

How has the resurfacing held up after 3 winters?

Dry is better than over-filled. At least you know there was some previous relief!

That guy doing the work is a smart man he can do it all.I am sure he has done it for years.

well i guess i need a milwaukee cordless mud mixer now...lol

Awesome

Great video as always, ill have to try that product out some time soon. Most likely next year Broke my hand due to working around a moreoff, more off than on. 2 fingers fractured and broken at base of 3 knuckles sprained wrist pulled tendons(Free Health Care for the Win). Curious do you have any Canadians in your master mind group? Before the break and workers comp i was doing lawncare, retaining walls, deck repair, gutter cleaning/repair fascia, doors/windows install replacement And or clean junk removal etc. on the side. Welding during the day. Since the injury i really have no desire to work for anyone but myself ever again. Reason i ask is because my province has a bunch of landscaping companies that do halfass work do more damage than actual lawncare. Retaining wall buckle and fail more than not, ive installed 12 retaining walls none over 7 ft high yet, but none have failed, first one i installed was 10 years ago still straight as an arrow. I've learned a few tricks from your videos, that i wish i knew before. I have a few life lines to call on certain aspects of landscaping but they are limited as I am more skilled in actual building than they are or hard scaping. I've much enjoy your videos, don't worry about the tool nazi's lol chucking them 3 ft should hurt them lol. Keep doing your thing stanley.

can i used that brand of cement for installing and reinforcing 7' fence posts?

what happened to part 2?

I have concrete driveways in Michigan with frost

Where is the sealing video as part of this series?

Once the concrete is drying on the tools it means you are too damn slow and your not dunking your tool in water between pours. Always keep a bucket of clean water near you and clean your tools regularly, Troweling is easy with clean tools.

How has it handled freezing winters?

What's the best way to resurface a driveway with cracks?

Do you know where he got the extension for his mixer tool?

"Aluminum trowel." Is it full semi auto? That was a float dude. Also, do we just forget about straight joints?

Whats the chance this can be done over asphalt?

What is the name of the final product, I mean the red paint???

I mix my chocolate milk the same way as you mix concrete. Always put the milk in first, or it will stick to the bottom of the cup.

Any advice for drainage on a sunken brick paver patio? The land pitches towards the house. Perhaps a sump pump? But what about freezing in the winter? It gets pretty cold here in Michigan.

Does the $660 include the drill and the leaf blower

Why would you add a layer on top of concrete instead of using a method like mud jacking?

Sooo...I get about that 5 minutes hardening, but if it lasts more that 4 hours, should you contact your physician? (No, she didn't say that).

What do you use to edit your videos?

Didn't know Richard Rawlings got into concrete business

Awesome topic, thanks for sharing this. However the end result is just dreadful in my honest opinion

Do you have a driveway drain or French drain because when it rains the water will go back to the garage? I might've missed it in the video

Where is part two?

yip, i was watching franky use a mag and thinking 'what the hell is he using that for?!!'

Coll vid

Phunny azz innuendos!

What did you use to fill the gap between the old & new concrete (the blue stuff)?

For all the people who think that this guy is cool because he threw his tools on the ground at the end. 6:01 He didn’t trow the tools. He cut the video. Play at at .25 speed and you will see.

What is with tennis shoes? For real? Where are the safety glasses, gloves, work boots - again, tennis shoes? Mixing man, no safety glasses, no respirator? Handling the concrete without gloves? Hello raspberries and concrete burns. Presentation was great, safety was tossed out the door just as the tools are tossed during presentation - LOL

Pretty good vid! But isn't that your house?

At 3:44 is the best part

Are you repairing those steps too

What about a plastic trail

Regular grout mixed with concrete glue will also work well for this.

I liked the exposed look better

Clean the garage!

Sorry, I can't get behind this... There is no way to get a permanent bond between the top coat and the original slab. The bond your searching for is when you re-hydrate the gel sacks of the slab and the top coat. There is no way to get enough gel sacks to bond with the new. That is why most concrete companies suggests a min of 1/2. So that when you have an area that is not bonded the strength due to thickness (of the top coat) will keep the concrete from cracking. The sad part is that homeowners will think this is a legitimate repair only to have to replace everything in the future. I could have injected and lifted this slab in an hour...

I am going to have to leave for work so I will finish watching this tomorrow, but the finished driveway looks slippery.

I think the materials may have cost as little as $660, but the equipment & labor was the bulk of it

That small concrete spall on the stoop, should have been saw cut and pinned. Then patched.

That's a pressure washer ? Nah! Barbie Doll accessory right ?

Hi Stan, off topic. I'm a new subscribers and loving the content. I would love to have your information on being able to find cheap equipment for running a business. Right now I started a summer business doing Firepits and it blew up to Paver patios/walkways, landings, retaining walls, and some other stuff. Honestly I did not think it would turn out well with demand. I'm still making big rookie mistakes with bidding and employees and job decisions that turn costly. I was hoping for some tips if possible. Would you know where to find cheap larger scale compactor plate machines like 450lb or 1000? I would especially eternally grateful to find a Mini Loader to help excavate these sites rather than renting one and getting gorged. Or Dump trucks too? I see cheap broken down ones for 2000 but everything else is for the rich it seems :( This is actually putting me through college right now surprisingly and I'm open to any pro advice out there. Thanks for your ear! Awesome Vid by the way!

It's not an aluminum trowel it's a magnesium hand float.

That's not an aluminum trowel, it's a magnesium float.

i don't like the way he just tosses his tools on the ground. Take care of your tools and your tools will take care of you.

hahaha definitely not for pro if You’re IT or PHD this video is for you . cheap job , next year everything popping out :) but i love this video a lot of fun :)

Odell will get you straight

I actually think the old drive was much better.

5 min set time is stupid there is no way most people are going to be able to lay a bag of that down and make it look half way decent in 5 min. But I guess what do they care if half of it drys in the bucket, you just have to buy more of it from them.

why am i watching this ? LOL

looks hilbilly...red driveway/not HOA approved is my guess

Bro never start your video with a blower running wide open wth?

Working smarter not harder.

Why no surface cleaner for the powerwashing?

Howdy Stanley! I had a question for pure education reasons! Sorry I didn't post this on a related video. I really wanted to know or see your input on concrete retaining walls? Like this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrR_hpSUlsXWqKs.html or even smaller versions of this type of retaining wall? Any pros or cons?

So you are saying materials are $660..how much did you charge the customer?..I would guess $15,000..correct?

Fantastic work Stanley, and great job getting it to $660! Have you been doing this for a while?
