Make a Bird Bath / Repair Concrete Steps 

I don't even have a place to put a birdbath, but I went looking for the molds anyway. LOL

I love how you tell us how to do it and yet make it simple enough for people who don’t use cement much be able to do these great repairs

By far, you are my concrete go to guy. Thanks

As always, nice job. Love all your videos and I learn something every time. Thanks Michael!

Another FANTASTIC video. Glad to see you getting another one out. Keep em coming please.

Glad to see you back at it making absolutely amazing project videos for us fans and adding to our tool belts and giving us the amazing ideas that are all thanks to you the Rapid Set Man !!!!

Yes! That's smooth! Thank you for an informative and fun video! I'm going to try it this weekend! thank you!

I really enjoy watching all your videos especially the cement all. You have made my fear of working with cement much more manageable. I thank you and hope to see more cement all projects.

Nice refurbish job on the steps! And thanks to you Michael the birds around your house will be all nice and clean! Keep up the great work. Thanks, DC

Omg you’re a life saver ! I can now afford to fix my house up 😉🤗

That is a great product I did my stairs last spring and it worked perfectly.

I am so excited! I have been waiting and waiting for this project - thank you so much!! I love this channel :)

The stairs look brand new and that bird bath is awesome!

Your videos are so informative and awesome to watch!

That’s awesome, I love your videos!

I definitely love it when i get notified you put out another video, i love all the diy stuff!

Hi mike haven't tuned in lately..but as always you never disappoint..I especially like this video because this is the exact project I was hoping to tackle this year ..just couldn't get there you always make it seem sooo easy ..but nothing is never easy for me 🙄..thanks for another great project ❤️

Wow, you inspire me and make me think I can actually work with concrete

Great work brother, I absolutely love your videos!!!!

Finally the video I've been looking for! Thanks Michael!

Both the steps and bird bath look amazing!!

دندن انت موهوب عملك جداً رائع 👏🏾

Great video If you are doing any type of flat work or forms with the Cement All you will want the flowcontrol packets. They work magic with this stuff. We use it when temps are higher than 45F.

What a video so informative Thank you

Great attention to detail, great ideas I will try on some busted steps

Good to know you can use that flow control stuff with this. I was wondering about that.

Love your channel! Great info!

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

Dude good job man that's awesome that's beautiful work I love it

Very Cool Michael!

I used a little bit of that and I mixed it in a plastic cup. There was about a quarter inch left when I was done and I just let it dry. When I took it out of the plastic cup it was so smooth and shiny. It filled all the tiny indentations of the cup perfectly.

I love the birdbath

Just beautiful........

‘Saw 1 video and subbed immediately. This is the second show and the beginning of a wonderful binge-watching adventure.😊

I'm gonna need you to come back and make more videos. I've been here since you started your channel and I freaking love your content! COME HOME, MICHAEL..COME HOME! lol

Awesome birdbath!!

I just wanna say that, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

You have a lot of energy❤! You bring so much excitement to your projects, I can only imagine you in person😅. But I love it, you keep my attention and that matters! 😊 I think I may have a project I can use that for.

going to definitely try rapid mix set on the driveway...✌🍺🍺thanks

My birdbath came with a convenient hump on top of the base and a matching dip in the center of the bath part. That looks like it would be simple to modify and build into Paul's forms using a Solo cup.

Very good!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your fun videos, thank you. Wondering if you could use Cement All for concrete overlay on Formica counter tops?

My wife and I will be building a dinning room table using your countertop method and a wood base...I'm excited...

Subbed love how down to earth you are .

Love the birdbath

Great video Mike! I did the step resurfacing a few years ago the same way you did. And yes, the damn bushes got in my way too. LOL 😂

That is so cool. I have always been told can't repair cement.

Very Very nice job Attention to detail

Awesome amazing fun video!!!

I just found your videos and I was laughing at the bush. I just did my front porch and I bungee corded mine out of the way. Great videos, you got a sub from me!

Great music too

Nice videos bro..

For us newbies, could you explain the difference between when to use parging mix, mortar or concrete when doing repairs on concrete steps,etc…? Great videos. Thanks!

Great video! I was wondering why the cement you used to fill the gap on the side of the stairs was thicker than the top coat used on the stairs...... what’s the ratio for the thicker cement?

You're a Rock Star

I love your Videos! How cute is that birdbath!

funny we have a friend with a commercial building in Ft. Myers Florida and he occupies the Restaurant there and was wanting to do a commercial handicap ramp out of the front door as its about 2" up. sent this to him earlier and he's excited to try out the Rapid Set to make a ramp out of his front doors.

Missed you. So wish it was available in UK

I'm going to do a bunch of small concrete projects. Watching you mix in a 5 gallon bucket, I decided to get the Harbor Freight 3.5 cu ft mixer. Pretty low cost for the labor it should save.

to take this birdbath one stop further... Run a pipe up the middle of the pedal stool and basin. Set the pedal stool in a water basin andd a pump you have fountain bird bath.

All your videos make me want to built stuff, I have the box of rapid set cement all, black color, & flow control.... now just thinking of what to build 🤔 🤔 thank you for the content 🌸🌺

Glad your back making videos, I've gotta try this stuff. Can you do it in cold climates?

So awesome. Yep, I'm working on steps and I couldn't understand why they just aren't good enough to walk on. I know I needed to seal them BUT they just don't seem strong enough for steps that we'll be walking on to enter the basement from outside. Now I know that I'm going to do a coat with Cement-All before I seal them AND I have to so our front steps; which I haven't even gotten to yet But now I've got my answer as to what I want to use and how I'm going to use it. THANK YOU, MICHAEL, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. ps: I also want a bird bath to put not too far or too close to our bird feeders right outside our Kitchen window where we can enjoy watching them do their little bird things, fight and just them many different kinds of birds that come to enjoy our different bird feeders. pss: I'd love to do a mail box too. I'm going to go see if you've made one. If not, can I make that request that you do a mailbox out of bricks, stones and/or even just concrete. Thanks again.

Hi, Michael. This is the second of your videos that I've watched. I'm learning so much, love the way you explain things in plain, simple terms, and presented in such a fun style. BTW, I LOVE your Dad's GTX!! I'd really like to try the Cement All to repair my 6 front steps. They're almost 68 years old (same as me, I was born in this house) and in about the same condition as I am -- pretty darned cracked, deeply broken/chipped off in places and badly damaged/weathered from rock salt and time. Unlike the steps in your video, most of the damage to my steps is along the edges (I think you called them the "bull noses"?) -- the rounded edges of each step. Big chunks are broken off on several of the steps, some on the corners but most of the damaged "noses" right in the middle of the steps, right where you walk. The steps you repaired, while greatly worn on top, showed no breakage along the bull noses. Can you tell me how to get the Cement All to make a good bond to the remainder of the original steps and to form proper rounded edging on each step in a way that will really last over time? I think someone I spoke to at some point mentioned something about using tapping screws?? Huh??? In July, 2019, I paid a guy $200 (which I really didn't have - no groceries that month) to repair the same steps and by that September, they were already breaking apart again. (I think he did as little as possible to make it look like he at least had done something.... he was here and gone in under 30 minutes, no exaggeration! He showed up 2 1/2 hours late, announced he was in a hurry, leaving for the shore!) Now they're in even worse shape than before he started. Wish I could send you my before and after photos of the ********* job he did! I was completely appalled but was intimidated by his demeanor and was afraid to balk about the quality of the job or the payment he demanded. (Also, my special needs brother with DS was in a hospital bed right here in the living room, just home from the hospital post-surgery and I was caring for him 24/7. I had to concentrate on him and didn't want to upset him by starting any dispute with this contractor or let him hear any drama concerning this matter. He already had enough to deal with.) So, here I am, back to Square One, needing to do this myself ASAP before the steps get even worse, and with the fall/winter snow and ice season approaching. Anyway, can you tell or show me the proper way to repair these badly chipped bull noses so that they really, REALLY hold for years, not just weeks or months? Thanks for whatever tips you can send my way, and again, for producing such informative and fun videos! God bless you, Stay Safe and Well! [ BTW, I already have a bird bath, but it's pitting, so with inspiration from this video, I'm going to use Cement All to repair it.]

Bravo

Thanks for the video . My next project is a concrete water fall edge bath tube. I was wondering if the concrete would work in a mold without being able to water it and if it would get to hot. Now I know. 👍

I'm not kidding when i say your videos are really the most entertaining. I'm not even interested in concrete or working on houses.

You are the best

Love your videos! I wish you would use other products that are less costly to compare.

I think you’re my new hero!! Hubby and I love your videos

Thank you for this great demonstration s... Have you ever done any art as far as sculpture?

Thanks for sharing. What's the difference/benefits of this vs NewCrete?

Lol you crack me up! Great video!

Hi Michael! Thank you for your videos. Question, how does this product hold up under pressure washing?? Thanks in advance for your response!

You’re my concrete guy so I always check out your page first. Do you have, or can you do a DIY on leveling a garage concrete slab?

Love the video.. learnt about the flow control... which makes sense.. my cement would crack up... perhaps due to too much water and not keeping it moist... will repair the steps now... I have a question.. the basement flooring is way too bad.. and lot of holes , dimples and not smooth at all will this rapid cement do the job of smoothening it out?? Thankyou in advance

Another awesome video. Can that be used to fix the floor of a garage that's got the same type of pitting?

Great job! I need to repair a picnic table (a tree fell and knocked off a corner of the concrete...rebar sticking out). Can I use this for that project? I'll need to make a form, I know. But just wondering if this is the best product.

Oh man!! I'm loving this stuff. I have cement stone steps that are crumbling. ugh

Your good.

Pretty cool now you just need to make a concrete step for yr shed😁

I never thought to look for bird bath molds. That looks so good and smooth. What a fun project! How long do you wait for it to cure before sealing it?

I'm so buying this mold

Hey buddy love the videos. Quick question, why did you change from using rapid set mortor mix for the vids to cement all?

Hey! MICHAEL!!!🤩

Awesome projects, keep them coming. Liked and subbed.

Hey Mike, at the beginning of your video you show a form with some lettering in it. Can you offer some advise on pouring the concrete over it so that it doesn't move? Awesome work as always.

GREAT info. And you're cute... and funny! 😊

I'm all about iit brother man but I am very curious how the steps will hold up after a couple months. and longer.

Dude!! Love the vids. I'm planning on building an outdoor kitchen and gas fire pit. If you're ever in the greater Atlanta area. hit me up!!

Hi from your northern neighbours, another great video, where can you get molds like your using?

Great Video. Can you tell me how this is holding up please?

So...my steps had some damage and I repaired them. Function YES ...but it doesn't match. I've NOT messed with in over a year. I may just cover over the entire steps with your product. Also... I have cracks in my sidewalk. But it is in a neighborhood and I know our hoa can be a pain the the tookus. Do you know if the cementall could be painted to match? Thanks for your helpful vids. By the way. Loved the edit when the music stopped when looking for missing pieces. That was great! 😀😇😎

Love it. But how/where do you wash out the buckets and paddles w/o clogging drains or leaving concrete water in your lawn?

Hi Mike, great video. Do yo know if Cement all is available In the UK. Or a similar product? Thanks dude

I'm going to try to repair my existing bird bath with this.

Very cool! What about a pizza oven?

I guess this would work on my sidewalk as well. Might have to try

I was checking out the mold website, wonder how long you have to apply mosaic tile to ready set in a sphere or bench mold?

Would cement all work as workshop floor ontop of the wood subfloor? I may have to test it on a piece of wood to see how it works...
