@caseysmith544 28 дней назад

Reason I feel your DIY spot can stand from the city is they are hoping for people who are going to be using spot more safely then drug users and homeless people also hopefully keeping taggers away.

@joshuafrederiksen 27 дней назад

I used to do tile ages ago and I noticed when you laid the mortar down for the pool coping you use a regular float/trowel to spread the mortar. If you use a notched trowel to spread the mortar it uses less mortar for the same effect, also it makes it waaaay easier to make everything line up. Love the DIY vids! ❤

@hanksyflamework 23 дня назад

or even rings of bonding compound sika mortor etc. if you make a ring and press something onto it as it pushes the excess air inside the ring outwards it will naturally create suction that will help it stick in place . think how glass mirrors are glued on vertical walls with just a little tape to prevent bad alignment.

Paint your blocks and rocks with a glue water mixture it helps the mortar stick better . Let it dry for ten minutes and render away 👊🏼

@chasm9557 24 дня назад

I'm not sure if you've used it in the past but when I used to work construction and we had to pour concrete, we always used a 3:1 ratio of screened gravel to cement. It's always for small stuff like cement pads or foundations for bulkheads. Basically anything small enough to use a small electric mixer and do it by hand. If you have easy access to gravel it could save you money at the cost of the extra effort of bringing it to your spot. If the finish isn't good enough, you could also put a skim coat of cement over it. I'm not trying to say it's the only way to do it, and I'm not even sure if it's the best method for your purposes, but it never hurts to have more knowledge at your disposal.

@oliewray8357 26 дней назад

The entire ditch floods allowing water to go behind the ramp though a pipe is absolutely pointless and leaving that crack behind the other ramp is just leaving a week point for water to start getting under the ramp this will make it weaker and the bottom join will crack up faster

@jeremycollins6380 28 дней назад

Start putting your left over cement products in a 5 gal bucket with a lid to keep it out of the rain and water. Much less waste, plus it doubles as a trash can or supplies mover if needed.

@jeremycollins6380 28 дней назад

Also wanted to add real quick to get the coping more equally flat pre butter the entire surface area with the mortar to get it as consistent as possible the set coping and tap them into place for consistency. Either way looks awesome very inspiring to go out and do this somewhere.

some spray foam to fill the voids on the sides of the ramp, even old aluminium foil crunched into balls is a good trick, aluminium cans can work well too, its not going to rust and cause concrete cancer

@DibzzehM8 14 дней назад

As a concreter I can confirm that these ramps are not going to mess with the drainage, the concrete falls towards the middle of the drain way from both sides so the water falls to the middle as it drains out, so these ramps on the side won’t effect anything

@doktor_faust 27 дней назад

Any reason why you did not use a full 90 degree radius for the wallride? Now theres this weird transiton between the wall and the ramp. (Not talking about the wall connection, but the ramp not going almost fully vert before going into the wall). Personally i find those wallrides really frustrating to skate because you smash into the wall.

@ZackDowdy 27 дней назад

I wanted to keep it hard to get on the wall, vertical forms (which I made on the other side) are more of a infinity wall vs wallride.

@doktor_faust 26 дней назад

@@ZackDowdy i get that, yet my approach would then be a smaller radius instead of a inconsistent transition, but if you have both of it, perfect.

just a suggestion when setting the coping in place leave the bed your setting them on fluffed up if that makes sense and tap down till it firms up that insures the the coping is stuck and firmly in place

and once down try not moving them as you potentially could make them wobbly when set

When you say “in the back”, do you mean just behind the store? All we have is lowes, and I’ve heard you can get deals this way, but the employees at ours are kinda clueless. Asking a question usually results in a 30 minute wait for a manager who “doesn’t know”

people saying that you are affecting the drainage, clearly don't understand for one, how powerful water is, that stuff will get blown out of there before causes enough resistance for it flood over. And for two, I definitely don't think some cinder blocks and pool coping will displace enough water to flood either.
