CONCRETE REPAIR/PATCHES (Part 2)Mike Haduck 

Your the BEST EVER concrete layer by far…..you explain it so well with less nonsense talk YOUR THE BOMB

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.

What a genuine guy. Mike, I appreciate your video's so much.

I just love it when he say "it's no big deal" 😎

I'm so grateful for your older videos. I'm getting ready to patch my driveway...

Love his comment...”you don’t have to make a big project of it”! Exactly! Thanks for a great video!

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

Mike, another very helpful video. You are so fortunate to still have your father.

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 for the tips Mike! Every generation tries to reinvent the wheel. Really enjoyed the side by side demo.

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.

Best "old school" how to video on RU-vid.

Mike, thanks for sharing your knowledge and explaining the different methods.

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

Great job as always Mike!

Great Instructional video! Now I feel confidant enough to patch my driveway.

i don't do that type of work and truly admire how dedicated and well he explain everything,thanks for sharing.

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.

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

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!!👍👍⚒

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!

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

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!

It's an honor watching you work. You are a true expert.

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.

Mike gets it done ! Great teacher. Thanks Mike .

This is what experience gets you. A masterpiece. Nothing beats working knowledge. Great job

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!

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.

Best video on the repair showing the right method to do it professional! Thanks!

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.

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

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!

Very well done video. Great to see two processes. The mud trick was very helpful. You are a very good teacher!

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 !!

Thank you for sharing your wisdom 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"

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 Mike. Your advice is much appreciated!

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 $$$

Mike, sir, you are an excellent teacher. No doubt a great boss too. Thank you.

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.

I enjoy your videos very much! Used some of your techniques to patch and paint my driveway with Portland. Keep making the videos!!

That was awesome Mike. Thanks for the pointers!

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!

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.

Mike Haduck, "The King of Concrete" Thanks for another great video!!

Love the mud trick. Will be trying it tommorow. Thanks for the great video.

Love watching a "craftsman" at work. Very informative!

Im a contractor and I love your videos. I build new but every now and then I get PATCH work.. Thank you 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 RU-vid. Subscribed! (Ps. Great presentation, you get right to the point, and all of the information was gold!)

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.

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 for reply: just looked at other video. I think you covered my question. Thanks again!

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 Mike I’ve got to do those type of repairs to my driveway 🤠👍

Thanks Mike. He gave you an awesome gift!

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!

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 for sharing your knowledge with so many people

It’s fun trying the techniques that you show. But you make looks so easy!! Thanks!

Old mud trick! Priceless knowledge. You made my day sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent video, very helpful, and timely for a project I have been procrastinating.

Love your videos and your easy approach can’t wait to try some of it!

Thank you was searching for this old school simple method DIY.

The tailgate revisits are some of my favorite things about this channel. Greatness. Hope your week is going great Mike! and make music.

Thank you because we are getting ready to do our drive way this spring and we are putting Black top . Thank you

I learn how to fix concrete now. Thanks master.

Way to go Mike, your the best!

WOW, now I know what to use as a knee pad !! This guy is awesome.

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 🎩

Mike you are great scientist-- I salute you

Thank you for sharing your knowledge God bless you!!!!!

Thanks Mike. I learned too much-God bless you always

Yes Sir, REALLY enjoyed watching your videos..😎. Very helpful. Thanx

Mike, you’re a, “National Treasure!” Thanks for the tutorials

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). 👍

It's a pleasure to watch a pro show how it's done.

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!

I tell everyone who admires my masonry projects that all they need to do is follow Mike's directions on his RU-vid 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.

"No big deal"...Mike Haduck...the most famous mason I know

Another 20 minutes we'll spend.....love this guy.
