You gotta be one cold-hearted person to thumbs down this video. Ms. Vibes worked hard, and it looks super. Plus she has the satisfaction of enjoying her beautiful work. :)
The few things I saw was not getting the concrete in the corners that good and when she pulled the mold of they lines weren’t patted down but your absolutely right not worth a thumbs down
Joel, I agree she did an awesome job on this. She worked hard and explained everything. Out is great. Sometimes a thumbs down means the video went on and on and didn't get to the point right away. I'm a person woth ADD and have seen 20+ minute videos that tale forever to get to the point. I watched a kitchen organizing video one time and the lady showed us her taking everything out of the cabinets ( instead of showing in fast motion). She explained why she was throwing away expired food, etc. I couldn't finish watching.
I’m so glad a woman has done a video using these molds , I’ve been considering using them , it’s great to hear from someone who has about the same body strength as me , Thank you ❤️
I did something similar years back (when I was younger lol) and it was very rewarding (if not perfect) we woman are here to show everything two male hands can do, we can as well. GO GIRLS!!🌵🌵🤟🤟
I'm seeing this 1 year after you posted but I just wanted to say you did a great job and give you just 1 tip when mixing concrete .... it's easier to mix if you put the water in the trough first. Mixing concrete is one heck of a work out! Great job on your project!
This video was awesome for two reasons. It's so good to see a woman doing this and also it was very informative on how to do this successfully. I really enjoyed all the tips you gave for this project. I feel confident I can do this now. Thanks so much!
WOW! Great job! I was going to get some of those same molds and do a walkway, but now that I've seen what you've done, I want to add a patio to my place too! My wife loves what you've done! Thanks for a great video! You ROCK!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was so lost when I started my project, and now I know what I want to do!!!!!!!! This was the BEST tutorial EVER!!!!!
Thank you! Please be sure to check out my 9 month update so you both can see a possibility of what it could look like in the future. Best of luck to you both 😀
I love getting exercise doing projects otherwise exercise is boring & hard to motivate myself. The bonus of DIY! It feels good to see what I can accomplish & say "I did that"! God bless! Thanks for sharing!
Whoever came up with these mold ideas is a genius. They look so good and give a professional look 😍. Glad you had help because that is backbreaking. So worth it. It looks great.
Jazmin, this is a beautiful job and I hope you are so very very proud of yourself!!!!! My Daddy was a Master Mason (Bricklayer who does amazing things that is closer to art than bricklaying!) and he helped me with everything from outdoor BBQ or Grill as you guys call them, I believe. 🇨🇦’s call them BBQ’s, LOL! And tiles and my fireplace etc etc and do I ever miss him so very much that you just lit my heart when I heard you say your Father came over to help you❤️. That is amazing and once a Daddy’s Girl, always a Daddy’s Girl! Give him a huge hug hon as nothing is better than having your Father come and help you and teach you to do things smarter not harder as well as little tricks that make things go much smoother etc. as well as what NOT to do which is priceless such as not leaving cement out on the lawn or any little “spills” as there goes your lawn mower blade LOL! I was blessed and learned those before vs by “experience” as some of my friends who had begged to borrow my Daddy! He was there for everyone, always.❤️ Enjoy that patio girl! It is always so much more meaningful when you have your family and friends help you because they love you!!! Beautiful job as are you!❤️🙌🏻❤️
Thank you so much for you kind words! Yes, once a daddy’s girl always a daddy’s girl! He refuses to let me do these things on my own and I love him so much for it! Even when I’m stubborn and say I want to do it on my own, eventually I ask for help lol
I know it's an older video, but this looks really nice! I'm wanting to do this for the front walkway of my house. Nice job! Thanks for sharing your experiences 👍❤️
Love it!! It was nice hearing you and your Dad did it together. I'd give anything to be able to do things w/my Dad again! Great job, thanks for showing us how to do this. Cute dog 🐕 ⚘
Nice! It's definitely hard work but so rewarding. Probably 20yrs ago I did a patio area on a property I planned to sell within a year. I foolishly presumed I could process 4 to 5 bags per day. I managed 3 bags a few times but 2 was my norm. As you stated It's a lot for one person. I used a push broom to create a consistent surface each time after I removed the frame. The organic edges appealed to me. I also added sprigs of monkey grass to help with the tropical look I wanted. It filled in quickly and is basically zero maintenance - even I cannot kill it. I added a dye to the Quickrete mixture so the patio matched the blonde brick on the house. When I sold the house the patio was a definite asset plus I enjoyed it. I am now thinking about moving but at 73 I will not be able to handle mixing concrete. The next owner can make their own choices.
Ive watched a lot of these videos abut concrete moulds, and i have to say yours looks the best i think its because you did not spend ages flattening the surface concrete so looks more natural and rustic especialy with the sand. so ita all looking fabulous
thank you !!! you gave me an amazing idea for my own yard....and I was gifted that exact mold... I am going to go to town !! You inspired me so much !!! and your advice was helpful as well... and your patio looks so sweet !! great job !!!
Lol, make sure you check out my follow up videos about it. I’m having issues with weeds. But if you are ok with that, then I say go for it! You’ll prob be better than me at laying down the weed barrier lol.
That is so gorgeous!!! You've inspired me!! I'm definitely going to do this project! Thank you for the extremely helpful instructional video! Brilliant!!
Well done! I have the mold you used but I've not been able to get anything done yet. So glad I came upon your video. The hints you shared are so needed. It looks beautiful! God bless you.
Hi there! I admire your patience you are an awesome woman🤟. Beautiful work thanks for the tips. Looking forward to the next project Love from Las Cruces NM 🤟🌵
I think it looks absolutely fab! And actually, I really like the contrast between the lighter and darker concrete. So creative! And I absolutely love learning anything that may save some money in today's economy! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing project! ❤
True to Vibes - you did an amazing job! I am so inspired. I have purchased two molds (same ones) that have been sitting in my garage for over a year now!!! Yours is the first video that didn't make me anxious; you are truly an inspiration, thank you :)
There is nothing to it really, well manual labor. LOL They even have coloring for the concrete. The most important part is to make sure your base layer is level and slightly sloped away from your homes foundation. 80lbs bags of concrete is the challenge and use a wheel barrow and dont carry them things long distances.
You're right. It's perfect. I have one of these molds for like 15 years. I bought it to build a patio at my house then horrible things happened and I lost my house. I have recently bought a little mobile home and I will be FINALLY using my mold. Thank you for the inspiration!
I’m sorry to hear that, but glad to hear about your fresh start ☺️! These molds are so sturdy, I will definitely be keeping mine for years as well. I wish you the best of luck with your project!
The best tutorial on this walkway project. 👍Going to do this tomorrow I dont have Instagram but I would let my son post the finished product on your Instagram. Thanks so very much I thought it was hard to do. I purchased the mold last year now I am inspired. ❤
Aww I love this! Yes it does seem intimidating, but you can do it. I would say the hardest part was the weight of the cement bags for me, but I got creative and found other ways to move them lol. I wish you best of luck on your project 😃!
Girl I cannot tell you enough how proud I am of you for taking on this project!!! 👏🏾 Is it sad that I had no idea those molds existed until you showed it? LOL! Watching you spread the concrete was so satisfying and I loved the food references (chili and butter). 😁 It was so sweet of David to surprise you with the sand!!! Loved the end result! 😍 Looking forward to more!!!
Thank you so much 🥰! and no I had no idea it was a thing until I went down a rabbit hole on RU-vid lol I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I tried to be as helpful as possible with my referencing. David is always so helpful with my projects. I can wait to make more 😃.
