Mike, if you produced a trowel with a rubber handle and had your brand of Mason tools named "HADUCK" and put the name on every handle I would definitely outfit myself with your tools. Thanks for the awesome, educational videos from wasilla AK.
Hi Kyle, I appreciate it, I don’t want to get too crazy with things, just glad that other people appreciate it, thanks Mike
Great videos!! Keep em comin
Thanks b, I appreciate it, Mike
Concrete can be waterproof. I use a granite dust with frost proofer mix. Then I use a concrete sealer. This seems to last.
In scotland the curb and the curbstones here are granite. The Council (local authority) own the pavement. So your not suposed to 'fix it' Though I have had to remove a sharp edge so that it doesn't damage car wheels going into the driveway.
Enjoy your videos Mike.
Thanks Inverness, I never heard of the frost proofed mix, It sounds like a good idea, thanks for passing it along, nice to hear from Scotland, thanks Mike
OK Mike the rolling of the concrete bag to find the amount you needed is my thing I learned from you today. Thanks a lot
Thanks buzz, crude but efficent, mike
Great video, Mike, I have a question though. I noticed that the previous curb had no rebar, if the curb is going to fall apart in 30 years regardless wouldn't it be easier to remove without it? Does adding rebar lengthen the life of the curb or does it just add support against abuse without adding life to the project?
Hi Chris, I would say that it just adds to the support against abuse, because all the big trucks and machines will be hitting it And I want it to stay together, but for the long term rebar only rots away And cracks the concrete up, thanks Mike
Thanks Mike, Chris.
Not bad for an old man!
Thanks, I appreciate it, mike
2:16 OSHA would have a fit if they saw that. Gotta be using that water! It’s also better for your lungs
I was wearing a mask, thanks Mike
Osha has a fit over everything lol
Would OSHA have a fit over Deez?
thegreatecb Deez Nutz?
Good repair, Mike. What did the other concrete company want for the repair, if you don't mind me asking, Thanks.
Hi Cooll, I cannot say, But almost double what I charged, but maybe he’s got big equipment and employees, which makes a big difference, thanks Mike
Prefer granite and pavers over concrete. Prefer concrete (Hassam method for streets) over asphalt.
Thanks pockets, I appreciate it, Mike
You definitely sound like you could be from luzerne/lackawana county
Thanks Cody, good gess, thanks Mike
How much did you charge for this?
It's always a friend. Thanks Mike
Mike check out a man called Fred Dibnah steeplejack . He's passed on now but he was a true legend and an expert on masonry especially Victorian he was indeed the last of his kind
Thanks David, I did , Quite an amazing man, you would not catch me climing those chimneys Thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck thanks Mike Fred Dibnah played a big part in preserving these national treasures now they are protected .
I can tell he was a special type of person, thanks for the info, Mike
As always mike great video! I pour all day for mine and my fathers family business and still enjoy comming home watching your videos or watching them while waiting for our concrete truck. Appreciate all the work you put in your videos!
Thanks Yy, I appreciate hearing that from a professional, it makes me feel like I’m on the right track, thanks much, Mike
Mike you've got the best masonry RUclips channel.
Thanks Sparta, I appreciate it, Mike
3:20 I like how your mixing tub literally looks like a tub.
Hi Fish, Believe it or not we used to swim in that when we were little kids, lol Thanks Mike
HAHA! This is great! Hopefully you swam BEFORE the cement was added :D
Awesome ... love your videos and teaching style. Thanks Mike! 👍
Thanks USNER,
Doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a mask. New osha law took full effect this year. Any saw cutting must either be hooked up to a hepa vac or water cut.
You should do you osha 10hr or 30hr
Hi Doc, God bless OSHA , I wish they were around when I Was in the navy working with Asbestos , but then I heard they don’t inspect inspect government facilities,, Mike
Hey mike - you might have me confused with one of your other commenters. I am not part of the RUclips safety police or and arm-chair specialist. I just enjoy your channel and content. Thanks!
Thanks Doc, I appreciate it Mike
Love your work Mike💗 watching your vids taught me how to do all my concrete repair work myself. Just been working on repairing the back of my house now, completed front last year, not bad for a 45year old woman👍😁💓
Thanks A, I appreciate it, keep moving on, it all pays off I appreciate it Mike
I live in harsh winter& summer weather of Prince George BC,Canada, all your tips from watching your vids made all my work I did last year on the front of my house make it thru no cracks or chips everything stayed in place perfectly
That’s great I appreciate it again, Mike
Obviously very different game in Pennsylvania, l’m in California. What can I say… Oh the whether is good here. Lol… City & county road departments SUCK! Here that looks like a $7,000 job. It’s a 3 rig Circus of litigation and Permit fees. In progress inspection, Engineering stamped drawings/plans that’s copied from a Ca. Standards book and Contractor BS runaround. Heavy Equipment!
Good job Mike!
Hi 49, And don’t forget you have to pay everybody off, they’re getting their way around here too, thanks Mike
Mike you do nice work. I sure hope you have an apprentice working with you. Too much valuable old-school stuff that will be lost some day.. Thanks Rocky
Hi Rocky, no apprentices, i’m at the retirement stage, so mostly with the owners Or the contractor, I think that’s one of the reasons I make the videos, Thanks Mike
Mike, I hope the Pennsylvanian Department of Transport is sending you bonus cheques in the mail.
Not me, lol. Mike
Thanks Mike! Another great one. Keep em' coming!
Thanks Dan, I appreciate it Mike
Whoa whoa whoa one dislike? Who thumbs down my friend Mike! Youre great thanks Mike! I get a lot out of your videos. I learn how to do these things and see good techniques. Your time is very well appreciated.
Thanks, Guy, No worries about that whether it’s good or bad it helps the ratings, LOL, I appreciate it, Mike
Mike puts those high cost mason to shame.
Hi H B, in my area, there’s not a lot of money people to pay, so I got to make do, Lol, Thanks Mike
hmm I remember granite curbs.. they always looked pretty nice. This looked good when you finished.
Thanks Sue, I appreciate it Mike
Excellent Job. in my country the curb is normal because the ugly shape is the normal and basic in our community
Thanks, Mike
Doing some research and ran across your videos. Thanks so much for doing them! Learning and better understanding what I need to get done!
Thanks Chip, mike
In my area the town is responsible for the curbs and sidewalks. But I suppose you can have a private company put a new one in
Maybe joe, thanks mike
Mike great job, However, One contractor told me he had to dig 18" inch below for curbs, BOCA Code requires this, ( cars hits curbs) Please comment thank you
Hi AL, check out my video, " sidewalks, old school vrs new school, Mike haduck, I explain my views on sidewalks and curbs there, thanks Mike
Where in PA are you? I am looking for someone to do this job in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Thanks, Pat
Hi Patrick, I moved to Florida but thanks for asking, Mike
love the little post-project talks in the back of the truck.
Thanks Don, I found i could explain the job a little betterAnd people like it I appreciate it, Mike
If that was done by the “road crew”. How long, how many, how much?? Not to mention, how well….
Hi Thomas, cheap, fast and effective, lol, Mike
Good job Mike, we love your videos ! For us guys who have no choice to do it ourselves they are a great help . If yuz get stuck get with Mike .
Thanks Joseph, Mike
My problem with this method it never last, normally we would go down a couple inches, pack set forms then pour the concrete good job.
Thanks Crazy, whatever works, thanks Mike
Great video to show how NOT to "replace" curbing.
Hi George, I have a feeling your a concrete curb contractor with big overkills charging enormous prices when people could use simple inexpensive fixes, anyway check out my video "sidewalks " old school vrs new school, Mike haduck where they reuse their granite curbs, thanks Mike
Thank you. We always get new information and inspiration.
Thanks JAMEL, Mike
We don't have granite in northwest Oregon, so I have no idea of the cost difference between concrete and granite. There must be a trade-off between the time it takes to form and pour vs. lay down gravel bed and position stone.
There are still concrete curbs in my town that have rings to tie your horse. New concrete seems to hold up worse than old concrete. I have no way of knowing how thick the sidewalks are, or whether they are reinforced.
Hi blank, well I made my stand and that video about sidewalks In Europe and China, I hate seeing guys with jackhammers when you really don’t need them, but the world is changing as it is, I appreciate it Mike
job jobbed, last as well or better than the crazy priced job probably.
Like you say Mike the old school way with stone curbs and pavers wins hands down, jack hammering and tipping all the concrete every 25 to 35 years is madness :-S
Hi Mr. B, I agree with you, but it’s stuck in tradition now and I don’t see them changing, thanks Mike
We too far down the rabbit hole turn back :-(
Mother nature put it right in end I suppose, in the meantime you got the job Mike .
Take care buddy ...
@@MikeHaduck I'm fine with concrete going bad, here in Iowa 80% of my business is tear out and replace.
That is a good thing then, thanks mike
Mike couldn’t you have stripped that form and faced the curb while the concrete was still setting up the day you hit the top with your brush
Hi Jorge, I did, I used a fast drying cement and I was out of there that day, thanks, mike
35 years?! In Amarillo, TX we get new roofs every 2-8 years depending on the weather. They get beat down by hail and ripped off by wind before they have a chance to look bad. Nice video!
Thanks Jake, Mike
We wouldn't be allowed to do that here in Delco. You would need a permit first and our curbs are 12 in below grade 6 in above with no rebar
Hi Matt ,I don’t know what part of the country Delco, but show the my video. “ sidewalks old school vrs new school, Mike haduck, thanks Matt, mike
1:00 Dolar store tape measure.
It works, lol, mike
another good video and job well done. thanks a lot. rebar, plastic: important. Loved your cement bag measuring technique too.
Thank you Andy, I appreciate it Mike
The best way to calculate how much cement you need for a small project. I'll have to remember that.
Thanks, anything that works, Mike
Mike,
Mike , would you mind telling us how much do you charge for this? I live in PA and got a $4500 quote! Can you give us a fair price to use as a base? Great Video! Thanks!
It was only a day job, patch and repair and I only been working for a friend, just a days pay, thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck
Wish you were my high school friend!
Hi Mike,
I'm a DIY'er and need to do the same job. I see professional curbs have expansion joints or sections. Would I need to do this to replace a curb the width of a typical Philly rowhome?
Hi Yukon, wherever the joints or sometimes cracks are I joint them, anywhere between 10 to 15 feet, sometimes 20, Mike
@@MikeHaduck Thanks!
Wish there were more guy like you around nowadays
Hi George, they are around I am sure, thank you, mike
Great video, Mike. It looks like the curb was previously repaired next to the work you did. That section looked white to me. Did the previous contractor use too much portland to get that coloring or was it something else?
Hi Brian, no I just think it is the mix that comes from the truck, it whitens up pretty good after a couple days, thanks Mike
Excellent explanation and description as you go through the steps. Very helpful.
Thanks Tim, Mike
I get a lot outta them! Thanks Mike!
Thanks Brik, I appreciate it, Mike
Thanks mike I have learned a lot from watching your videos, and saved money to.
Thanks Dan, that’s great, that’s with the videos are all about, thanks Mike
You would think the city would rebuild the curb if they are going to redo the street
Hi Raul, in our area rarely, thanks mike
Great video Mike, I hope to watch you at work for another 10 years...
Hi Nelson, I don’t know if I’ll last that long, LOL, like
What kind of concrete did you use? How long did you wait to remove forms?
Hi David, I just used the pre mix quarter store stuff, works fine, thanks , mike
I know you dislike rebar so why did you use it in this application?
Hi Pete, lesser of two evils. Especially when snow plow hits it. Thanks Mike
That's not how to do a curb you have to go down 12 inches below the street and you need put expansion joint every ten feet I don't know how that passed inspection I'm a concrete finisher in pa and that would never pass a prepour
Check out my video, (sidewalks , old school vrs new school, mike haduck ) and let me know what you think, Thanks, mike
Depends on the location. I'm in PA as well. Typically it's saw cut or tool joints every 10 and expansion every 30-50. PennDOT spec is actually no expansion joints just at the start and stop of every day. But you should definitely have 18 inches of curb or better.
great vid and nice tee shirts ty mike.
Hi hrxy 1 I did not even notice the T-shirts, thanks Mike
Hey Mike, i gotta question. I have heard you say many times rebar rusts and blows the concrete apart. Why dont they coat rebar in a heavy coat of bitumen ?...boatbuilders do this to all the bolts they use to avoid this issue...Thanks mike....D
Hi D, I can't say, they keep trying different things, don't see anything for sure. Thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck Thanks for your reply as always Mike. I only asked cos i seen boat builders put a real think coat of black bitchumen on every bolt n nail to protect them from rust. There must be some reason it isn't used in construction. Again, really appreciate the reply...God bless n peace to ya.
@@MikeHaduck 👍
I think pre-formed concrete sidewalks would last a bit longer?
I did A video called - , sidewalks, old school vrs new school, I think there’s a lot of food for thought there thanks, mike
@@MikeHaduck already watched that video and your videos on old school walls, can you please do more old vs new school?
I guess concrete held up so well from Ancient Rome because of the favorable conditions. Here in Northeast Pa. it disintegrates over time. I think the mentality is that concrete is cheaper up front over granite, and let someone else worry about it when it does fall apart. Thanks for the video mike.
Thanks Bob, I couldn’t say it better myself, I appreciate it Mike
Romans used a very different and softer mix, that is why it lasted
@@oreocarlton3343 Roman’s even invented how to set it under water
Always glad to see you keeping busy mike!
thanks George , mike
Another great video.
Thanks antecedent, I appreciate it, Mike
Thanks for the Great video and lesson .
Thanks I appreciate it, Mike
you do whats good for today well done mike
Thanks Darren, I appreciate it, Mike
0:42 they didn't use the mud trick!!😯
Not needed in a commercial setting thanks Mike
Some good exercise to figure put how many bags ya need...
Hi Pablo, Yeah it works, usually within a couple bags, thanks Mike
I learned a trick there too. Not your first day Mike ? Nope.
Done, done, and done! Nice work!
Thanks 8bit, I appreciated, Mike
Great job, but schouldnt the city be doing that?
Hi Rocco, usually on state road ect, but local roads yea and no, depends on the municipality, thanks mike
Not always
In Europe they use huge granite blocks or pre-formed concrete side blocks...american construction is so much different. Love your videos Mike!
Thanks Oreo, I think the ideas of Europe are much better especially the sidewalks, concrete falls apart in our area quickly because of the weather,Thanks Mike
I always feel bad for you when I see you chopping concrete and mortar by hand. I’ve mixed tons of it by hand myself. Mortar isn’t too bad, but concrete is a different story. Hope your doing well. Thanks for the videos as always. I enjoy the heck out of them.
Thanks R A, You’re right it’s not getting easier, thanks Mike
Great Curb- Hit those forms with a hammer as you lay in the concrete. Then the portland and sponge will be easy breasy. Great job Mike.
Thanks wmsbbg, I appreciate it, Mike
I see you didn't put any stress joint seams. Wonder why.
Hi, not between the curb, it's all in one and prevents sinking, other then that every 5 feet standard, Mike
@@MikeHaduck in my area I see the lines in the curbs for joint relief.
Hi, I have a video called , Sidewalks,,,old school vrs new school, it might change your view on how they do things here, thanks mike
Mike I think I look forward to watching your stuff on RUclips more than anyone. My wife cracked our concrete sidewalk with her elephantitus legs so I get all the info I need to repair it from you! Thanks mike keep it up
Thanks Bababooey, I guess that’s good, lol, mike
Mike, What is the purpose of putting rebar in the kerb, do you provide expansion joint in the kerb?
Hi Iril, in the winter that curb will get hit with snow plows and it's either dig it all out or cap it, and I added that to keep it together, thanks mike
I live in the Philadelphia area
Thanks al, see previous message, Mike
I like that big mixing tub! Where would I be able to buy one? Looks better than mixing in a wheel barrow.
Hi Juan, I would say any masonry supply yard, thanks Mike
Do you have something against cement mixers lol will save your back. Great job on this btw a pro result!
Thanks MG, I haven't used the cement mixer in a long time, usually by the time I get it there clean it and get it home , the job is done, but for big jobs , absolutely, thanks mike
Thanks Mike! Nice job!
Thanks col, I always appreciate it, Mike
Hey mike not sure if this was already asked but how did you attached those kick outs to the street? Fluted nails?
Hi Al , yep, right on, thanks, mike
Mike you are a wise man
Hi Tim, I try, I learn as I go, thanks Mike
Im gona repeat myself again. First I have all these projects on an Auction house I purchased. Soup to nutz. Insurance is a problem in Philly without pristine walks n curbs. 8000 lb trucks who roll up n over when parking don't help either. Thanks Brother.
Thanks Jerome, ya got to do what you got to do , whatever works in your situation, I appreciate it, mike
@@MikeHaduck Just the bag flip to get an estimate was priceless. Takes alot of stress off to know that.
Great video!
Thanks Sharon, Mike
Great video! I have to build a curb on my driveway. Fell like I can do it now
Thanks, mike
Nice work Mike
Thanks Shawn, I appreciate it, Mike
Hi Mike - Really Great videos I have learned a lot - you make it look easy! I have done some concrete work before odd and end jobs and ALWAYS have the same problem! My question is how can you tell when you have the correct amount of water ? Just when it looks almost ready to use but looks just a tiny bit dry I add a splash of water ( I use a power drum type mixer !/3 of a yard) Pour it, smooth it out, and start to finish it and wouldn't know it seems way to wet!!! I even wait about 1/2 hour before I start to finish it too. Do you have any trick or tip on how I can tell the correct amount of water to use ? It does not take much water at all & that was one thing I was supersized about when first stated to work with cement ANY thing at all you can offer all of us sure would be helpful! Thanks !
Hi Rosario, truth is, I just keep adding water until it’s workable, and where I think it’s at the right consistency to use it, I do the same thing with car paint, just keep Adding thinner until it comes out right, And I know every Mason does it the same so I would say no there’s no correct amount of water to put in, sometimes the sand is wet and sometimes the sand is dry and it makes a big difference in how much water you put in, and has to be wetter for plaster, and dryer for stone so you put the water in as you need it, My opinion, thanks Mike
Thanks Mike for the fast response and the info. Yes it is a something I can only get better at by doing more work and gaining experience and that is why you are a master (IMO) at your craft!!! Keep up the Great videos Sir and as always two thumbs up!
Apoxy rebar
Thanks more, mike
Nice job mike . Over here in Ireland only the city council workers or a private contractor sent by the councils are allowed to undertake that type of work.
Hi brick, and that might be a good thing, over here it’s still like the wild west, but they’re getting more strict all the time, thanks Mike
Mike, our Irish friend might not know what you mean when you say “Wild West”
R A I’m busting my sides laughing ,of course I know what mike means by the Wild West.
OK, I don't get out much. LOL
You again lament the temporary nature of modern building techniques. I see you subscribe to Matt Risinger. I enjoy his content too but I cringe a little to see houses built from ply ,or worse chipboard held together with a tube of mastic. You cant beat stone. The Romans knew best (and the Chinese) Cheers . We have c**p weather in the UK too.
Thanks 101, I agree, the weather makes a big difference, thanks Mike
Mike is NOT subscribed to Matt Risinger on any of his channels.
Matt Risinger doesnt have Mikes wisdom. Risinger builds houses from OSB panels and wonders why dont the walls last...
Last I checked, repairing curb is City's responsibility... could get in trouble for even touching it.
Hi xephael, We wish that was the case, but not in this city or municipality, the homeowner is responsible, thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck Ah okay.. I think you're a bit too hard on concrete. I can be poured and redone if it fails very quickly. That's why you don't see true brick being used as building siding any more.
Viola!!
Thanks Mike
Can I do this myself? Are do I need a permit? Also is this the right way to do it?
