    She's definitely an Irish girl. Their dads always make them learn the trade 😅 This is great !
  • Your video made me decide to have my daughter help me fix ours and to give her a lesson on masonry. Love to see girls in the trades. Thanks for the great video.

    Where can I find a handy woman like you? I am getting tired of doing all the handy work by my self LOL. Great JOB!
  • @spelunkerd
    Well done, you've got an endearing presence on the screen. I've never seen people remove forms while the concrete is wet, that's an interesting strategy.
  • Please note she was doing this with it coldish out, if you use this product on a hot day you will have to work faster. It sets up very fast when hot out, however they have additives that make the product slower to set and also one to allow it to flow more easily. with those additives this can used with molds to make very strong garden orniments such as lions etc.
  • Just a video I was looking for my steps look just like that and I just don’t have the money to have the report now but this I can do. Thank you so much great job.!

    I will be fixing my steps this weekend, now that I’ve watched your video! Thank you!
  • I have spalling areas on my patio. I will do all you suggestions. You did an awesome job explaining. You encouraged me to do the work myself. I'm 78 yrs old and I can do this. The quotes I received were way over the top. Keep up the good work! Yup, I am a subscriber as well. By the way, I have several of your red tub in different sizes and colors. They are great to use, not heavy. Smart mom!
