CONCRETE CURB REPAIR (Part 4) Mike Haduck

I repair a couple curbs that was damaged by snow plow. All my videos are my ways and ideas, I always suggest anyone doing any type of work to consult professional help.

As usual Mike gives us fans a great video! Just hope he keeps making them!

Thanks, I got a big backlog so , I will be around for a while, thanks Mike

@@MikeHaduck great news!

[@Traderjoe]

This is the first time I notice you liking the rebar. Are applications like this, along the ground, better than walls and structural applications of the rebar?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Joe, actually they insisted on the rebar and watched to make sure it went in, but the 3/8 rebar was a good choice, thanks Mike

[@chrisjarvis4449]

mike do they make a stainless steel rebar ? and if they do would it last any longer ? and what about the cost ?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Chris, I would think it last longer but I haven't seen any, now they are using fiberglass rebar, thanks Mike

[@martycoleman4544]

is it possible to reuse the big pieces of concrete? In other words, fill under then put them in place and fill in between and around them instead of rebuilding from scratch?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Marty, I can't say unless I was there to see it, I got videos out on " concrete repair" usually it's patches, thanks, Mike

I will only use the layaway plan for my wheelbarrows now after once going underwater with big Rent-A-Center monthly payments on a fancy 6 cu ft double wheel. I don't know how you can sleep at night knowing you have come up with that payment every month.

Hi James, just a 200 dollar sony ,flip camera, thanks Mike

nice work. Glad to see you had some help. I've seen the damage from snowplows...no good.

[@BarbiegirlTina]

So if I’m making flower pots and stepping stones is using Portland alone good enough 🧐

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Barbie, I would ask the people who make them, but I think most of them use Portland and sand, thanks, Mike

[@jarniotes]

For a man who dislikes masons using rebar you sure you use it yourself. Excellent video showing the average person could do his own curb construction. Would you use regular concrete to do a curb, garden curb also?

[@georgespaloss5895]

Hey Mike,love your videos.I the same age as you,I’m a retired mason in NJ. I was drafted into it because my grandfather,My dad,my uncle,my brother worked together.
I was the youngest son son so I was the laborer until I was older. But I agree with that teacher you quoted about being aware and Listening and watching. I would go an hour early with my dad to get the mud going,scatter the blocks you set up! I kept ahead of them so I could listen and watch and learn(my brother really didn’t want to learn it but he is 5 years older than me so he pulled rank on me so I had to be the laborer. Sorry for gabbing here… I think I got the best masonry education watching and listening,they never had to ask for anything from me everything was waiting for them. But my point is that being able to listen to what someone is trying to teach you is Very important!

Your videos help a lot. Two years back I watched a bunch of your repair videos and went through and repaired my front porch and steps, fixing some parging, chipped edges, and a spot where a brick-size chunk just fell out. Two Canadian winters later, still holding strong and looking good. Thanks.

I wish I lived near you..most companies that deal with cement/brick near me only do large jobs (city/state). Your videos are so helpful!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks dreazy,, Mike

[@oninino6102]

Mr. Haduck, the old curb did not look like it had horizontal rebar in it. Obviously the vertical rebar is to keep it in place. Why did you put the horizontal rebar in it? Thank you again I enjoy all your videos. Helping me immensely with my own projects. Take care.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Onin, there was vertical rebar in the first one but it rotted away, the owners insisted we put in the new rebar, thanks Mike

[@apm6997]

In El Paso, Texas, I need to repair about a seven foot eroded section of curb that tapers into a driveway, similar to what your first curb repair was in this part 4 video. As a dyi, I’m not sure about working with the rebar, but what material cost do u think this project would be for me? I called three concrete companies to give me a price to do the job and not one ever came by to look at it, so I figured I might as well learn to do it myself.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, it's impossible to say what you need unless I was there to see it, just do some research and I am sure you will do fine, thanks Mike

[@kevinfromsa1434]

I adore you and your videos!!! All the way from South Africa. Wonderful that there are some honest to goodness artisan professionals left in the world. Someone who takes pride and cares enough to make these videos. I am already onto watching some of them a 4th time!
Question. Our houses here in SA are plastered brick where the plaster is smoothed using a wooden plank so that it's perfectly smooth. You always smooth your plaster with a sponge. Wondered if you ever plaster large areas and smooth with a plank?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Kevin, sometimes yes but mostly my jobs are close to the ground. And making some parts thick and other parts skinny to flatten it dosent make sense, sometimes I use a stucco effect to hide the imperfections, especially old stone foundations, thanks mike

[@crazy1gadgets1]

You used the fast setting concrete, and that if you thought you needed you'd put a little Portland cement in it. How would you determine whether you needed Portland cement? - what would that do for you, and how much Portland would (did) you put in it (i.e. what ratio?)

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi , with my experience with that product I feel it does not have enough strength for northern climates, so I might pur a full trowel to a bag, for a little more insurance, my opinion, mike

[@Mark_Chandler]

Looks good Mike, u make it look easy. Rebar is a curse when it begins to rust.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Mark, I agree, Mike

Mike.........Nice work as usual. Just a comment on the shirt I bought.
First of all I like the shirt....Ok. But being a Pa. guy like you, I was disappointed these shirts are not made in PA. or the USA. I'm sure there are a few PA. companies that could have made the shirts for you. Just a thought.
Best wishes...........John

Hi Edward it is usually very close, for a new pour, but for patches I will let it harden a bit and then paint it with mud to match the old curbs, thanks Mike

Sorry Mike, I meant felt or paper above the foundation in case a plow hits and breaks the new curb you just laid.
