    I learned more from this video than talking to a dozen "professionals". Just in time as I am about to fix some cracks in my driveway and between my carport and wall. All my questions have been answered by you. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. Tell your dad that I, as an older father, said a car is transient but a son is forever. Ride on dudes ride on!!

First video when I open RUclips. After watching it, I'm glad my mind was read. The bonus mold making at the end was great too. Your video style is great. You made a boring subject pretty awesome!
