Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

My water run off rides the right side when facing the street. The whole sidewalk is slanted and broken that way. I love it when all you pros have advice and don't kill us DIY'ers lol!! great INFO!! Just trying to do it should make pros happy... cause when I mess it up I can always break that crap and repour LOL!! BY THE PROS LOL. I'm never gonna stop trying though lol!!

Holy crap this came out awesome! Removing the old slab and making a new one I think would have taken more physically exhausting work. This repair is something I'd be able to do/assist with. I can't technically use power tools or lift heavy buckets due to health reasons, but I'd be able to use the brush and clean up anything that spills over the sides

@MrMike304TV Месяц назад

People keep saying that he would have been better off by pouring a new slab; what if pouring a new slab isn't within your budget? If your car breaks down, you'd probably be better off just buying a new car, right?

@4u2nve 14 дней назад

Old concrete is practically nothing to get rid of, especially that amount. And those bags of recap are more expensive than regular concrete as it is. That old concrete was so bad that after a year or two his resurface job is going to be all cracked up. That old slab wasn’t just pitted, it was cracked and sunk in some areas, that’s going to transfer through the new concrete eventually, sooner than you think really

@Mebeknob 3 месяца назад

Yeah hindsight just pouring a new slab would’ve probably have been better considering a the condition of that slab. But this was a very useful video and it’s nice to see how far this product can go!

@trxe420 Месяц назад

Nice work, I am hoping these two products work on my slab. Got a 9x12 slab I am working with that is in bad shape. Just need a flat surface to build on, heard good things about re-cap.

@inspiringbuilds 3 месяца назад

I understand the test, but replacing the slab would have saved a ton of time and held up better long term. The white painted brick was a nice touch and it all looks good. I hope it holds up well for you. 👍

@harisdiz.5817 3 месяца назад

While i would agree with some of the comments regarding the complete replacement, what you've done was great experience for future reference. Perhaps next time use the recommended primer ratio and pour a lot of it so it would penetrate deeper. It creates flex and proofing.

@garyc4019 3 месяца назад

wouldnt a complete replacement be thousands of $$? vs his repair?

@denvernow7294 3 месяца назад

With that major crack I wonder if the lower side will settle even further and just end up causing all of your work to just break in half again. It's not a large slab. I'd have just replaced the entire thing with a newly compacted subgrade.

@patbird9694 3 месяца назад

I personally would have removed the old slab and repoured a new slab. I like to experiment too . Seeing how the new surface lasts. Can’t wait for the update. In two years time. My prediction is that it will crack in the middle from the change in seasons.

@guyelluzzi2705 2 месяца назад

You're better off with a broom finish than smooth for a walkway, better footing in slippery conditions. I have a few places where I want to try and resurface. Less work than ripping out and pouring a new slab. Thanks.

@TheDarkPreacher65 3 месяца назад

When it comes to finishing concrete, if the surface is gonna be exposed to the elements year round, you want a broom finish on it, makes for better traction in case of icy or wet conditions. The smooth, almost glassy finish you were talking about originally? That's good for finished interior surfaces that won't see a lot of water or even ice, like the inside of a garage or the floor of a basement. (If you have concrete floors throughout your house, I feel bad for you, I know how bad it is to live with that.)

@user-mn1zu5tl5i 15 дней назад

Great tutorial. The only question I have is: Did you originally want to leave the surface smooth and glassy so people can slip on it when it’s wet or has snow on it?

@alyxprice645 3 месяца назад

approaching a trap house is wild!

@unikornkontroller 3 месяца назад

Late to the party but I agree with others that replacing the slab would've been a better long-term fix and probably faster/easier to achieve. The biggest issue is that big crack in the middle. It will reappear next winter as the soil freezes. That said, it looks great and serves as proof that you can resurface horrible-looking concrete. It's just that it can require constant upkeep as the old concrete continues to potentially deteriorate.

@R900DZ 3 месяца назад

Tear out and replace for sure would’ve been easier and produce better results but you did a great job for a first time using these finicky rapid set materials

@HLMcCoyEnterprises 3 месяца назад

It was Quickrete, not Rapidset. Rapidseet would have been better. I predict that in about 1 to 2 years it will delaminate. He should've used the bonding primer under the 1st coat and in the mix. Also, it should be sealed afterwards. If you do it right , this repair will last for years.

@R900DZ 3 месяца назад

Keep the old concrete wet (no puddles), patch material will adhere much better!

@OliWarner 3 месяца назад

There were a few instances of "these are the instructions on the product but I'm going to do it a bit differently". That's a risky thing to do with concrete. Not diluting PVA (for example) can adversely limit its penetration. All the same, it's nice to have a small project like this to play with.

You had minimal sidewalk left. It would have been quicker, and cheaper, to just pour a new one. This is also likely to chip up after a year or two

They didn’t want cheap and quick probably

@ModernBuilds 3 месяца назад

In hindsight you might be right. It would have been convenient to do a single pour and be one-and-done. I doubt it deteriorates much though, most of the damage came from not having gutters since the house was built in the 50’s and I’m getting some built this next week. We’ll see how it goes though… hopefully it’s a good tutorial for someone with a less damaged sidewalk/patio or someone who couldn’t tear out the old concrete as easily. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
