[768Kayshan]

@feloniousg5150 Thank you! :)

[5jtgarner]

so how does your porch look after the winter?

[768Kayshan]

@5jtgarner Hi, it still looks great! No cracks or chipping. Next month I'll be in town to visit the house & I will make a follow up video to show how it looks & how well it has held up.

[haroldreynolds1]

@haroldreynolds1 Thank you! :)

[fritzhvac]

Hey Shannon !!!

Wow what a Awesome Job !!!

That was Next Level Workmanship (Workwomanship) how every you want to say it !!! LOL ...

I love it !!!

You have got some Skills !!!

Thank You for Sharing !!!

Fantastic Video !!!

[768Kayshan]

@fritzhvac lol! Thank very much..I'm happy u liked it! ;)

[MrsPickledPink]

That came out great!! Awesome job!

[768Kayshan]

@MrsPickledPink Thank you very much! :)

[768Kayshan]

@ImmoralStar Thank you! I was concerned about the red too & hoped it would dry lighter & luckily it did. I live in Missouri.

[Robohead521]

Wow! That is impressive. I have a question for you about the brick work as I am planning to do this on a patio. Your end result has slightly different shades of brick color (which looks awesome). How did you accomplish that? Did you make up 2 batches of concrete (red and buff) and blend them during the application process? That's the only way I can see to do it. Again, great job!

[768Kayshan]

@Robohead521 Thank you! Yes I did mix the red & buff in separate buckets & layered them on..just like you described. The porch is still holding strong & looking nice too..I'm going to do a video real soon showing folks just how durable the surface of the porch is.

[Robohead521]

@768Kayshan Thanks. You're a natural at this kind of stuff.

[768Kayshan]

@Robohead521 thank you! :)

[ChitoNSam]

Nice Job! Very Creative :)

[768Kayshan]

@ChitoNSam Thank you! :))

[parkerdonald1]

oh, and nice finished product!!! 

[parkerdonald1]

this so impressive! one heck of a worker! my first and only house was a hud home. did a lot of work on that house. it was a true money pit and i lost my @ss on it. now i was thinking of buying a duplex and having a renter i could monitor. what do you think? oh btw i like your music selection on this video!

[768Kayshan]

@parkerdonald1 thanks! You're the 1st who said they like the music here! lol! I thought it was nice too..anyways, I have a rent house too..one I bought several years ago. Renting to someone can work out great..only if you're renter is reliable! Some people r pros at putting up a front about being trust worthy..I, personally, won't rent to anyone w/ bad credit or a criminal record.

[Simulationofvirtue]

A fantastic Job Shannon & so artistic as well :)

Very helpful!

[768Kayshan]

@NatePinkyVideos Thank you, Nate! :)

[oSWORDofTRUTHo]

Wow! Talent oozes from you. Very impressive! Wear a mask next project! :)

[768Kayshan]

@oSWORDofTRUTHo Hi Doc! Good to hear from ya! Thanks for the nice compliment! Well, I had a mask on while mixing the cement..I just didn't put an shots of that in the video.. I didn't know I needed a mask for wet cement?

[oSWORDofTRUTHo]

@768Kayshan

It is dry before you mix it so that is good you wore a mask. The MSDA for the quickrete even states "Respirable crystalline silica (quartz) can cause silicosis". Solvents are also in the paint you used and in the liquid cement color. Obviously, we can deal with temporary exposures, but the people I work with have a lifetime of exposures like this, it all accumulates. Sounds like a downer, I know - but there are a lot of options to remove all of that lifetime of toxic accumulation :)

[768Kayshan]

@oSWORDofTRUTHo Thank you Doc! :))

[Dieselcowboy73]

Great vid and a awesome job on the porch Shannon!! Will you come to Canada and marry me lol jk. Love your vids, keep em coming!

[768Kayshan]

@FateofDestinee Thank you very much, Destinee! :))

[rgdspd1]

Love it!! Prep work is actually more important than the finish for long lasting results. Glad to see You took the time to do it right. I used to paint airforce jets and know prep is everything. That being said, I especially love it like 3:00 to about 3:30 in You are getting down like a front porch Picaso on a concrete canvas great job looks wonderfull. XOXO

[768Kayshan]

@rgdspd1 Thank you..it's holding really strong & standing up well to some rain that's been here...so, I'm real happy w/ it..XOXO ;)

[rgdspd1]

@768Kayshan Oh yeah! I also know Picasso has 2 S's. I ain't much on "fancy book learn'n," and I'm pretty sure that My punctuations are not being used properly. Anyway, I was looking over what I had written and noticed an s was missing on Picasso, and and said let me add an 's' and hit send. What an as with "2 S's" ;))

[768Kayshan]

@rgdspd1 well, why'd u have to tell me an S was missing..I didn't even notice that until u told me lol! Don't ever worry about your spelling or punctuations on this channel..I don't write perfect either! ;)

[bxchef2975]

@route66productionco sorry, SheepdogLA asked first...

[BananaBlocker]

where did you find a stripper in a bag like that?

[768Kayshan]

@BananaBlocker they sell em on the opposite side of the store from the banana's in a peel..gotta keep those 2 far apart from each other..for obvious reasons.

[AllenGraphics]

I wish I was your porch

[768Kayshan]

@AllenGraphics I'm more than happy to slather u in wet cement anyday..I spray u off w/ the power washer too! ;)

[TheCoroncachannel]

that turned out great. i noticed you had the gloves on later in the video. that stuff will burn your hands if its on there too long.

[768Kayshan]

@TheCoroncachannel My fingertips got a little roughed up, but they are as good as new now..I didn't notice it burning, but the grit in the cement cut my fingers up a bit..this was a live & learn project! Thanks for watching & for your comment! :)

[768Kayshan]

@MRRIPTHEJACKER1 Thank you! :)

[768Kayshan]

@Topmostpop That sounds very cool! If u open a new channel & make some DIY videos please let me know..I'd like to see them! Marble on a porch sounds gorgeous! And your kitchen project sounds very nice too..yes, w/ some creativity & a willingness to DIY a person can make a place look very nice & not have to spend thousands of dollars doing it.

[SheepdogLA]

That looks damn good. Nice job. I know how to work on motors and mechanical stuff but your like me on the home improvement stuff, you learn as you go and it looks like you did a hell of a job. Looks real good.

[768Kayshan]

@TheGovernmentslave yep..that about sums it up..& this project in particular is one I'll try to perfect even more in the future if it withstands the test of time & the elements. Thanks for your nice comment! :)

[jstmo95]

A very good job. I was sure impressed with that tape. Looks like you had a good $150-200 wrapped up in this job. Contractor would have charged triple that.

[768Kayshan]

@jstmo95 Thank you! I think your guesstimation is about right...if this experiment is still holding strong by next year then I'm gonna say I really got my money's worth!

[KevinInBeantown]
