029: Concrete Floor Crack Repairs

  Linda’s basement has a crack between the block wall and floor.   She’d like to know if the crack should be filled in and if so, how she can do that.   I recommend Linda fill the crack using Sikaflex Concrete Fix   http://usa.sika.com/   This cures and retains its flexibility between wall and floor transitions.   You can find this at Home Depot and if not, they’ll order it for you.   I’ve used Sikaflex Self-Leveling sealant for expansion joints in my driveway and really like it.   Whatever sealant you use, make sure to clean the surfaces thoroughly.         Today’s Quick Tip is DIY Gel Fire Pits.   If you want a cool conversation piece and a way to stay warm on chilly nights this could be for you.   Just make sure to use lava rock because it doesn’t explode!!!   My tutorial on how to build a DIY gel fire pit has gotten over 250,000 views on YouTube.   So I think you’d like it.   http://www.homerepairtutor.com/diy-gel-fire-pits/       Submit your DIY question or Quick Tip by   Calling me at 800-965-0023   Visiting http://www.homerepairtutor.com/podcast/ and use the SpeakPipe recorder   Or signing up to my email newsletter and responding back to me       Do you need help with your bathroom?   Check out Bathroom Repair Tutor   http://bathroomrepairtutor.com/   Our memberships are limited to 100 people on a monthly basis.
