00:13the issue with this tile is that it has moved down and it's unsafe to leave it that way
00:19so what we are doing to fix it up is to first drill two holes on the center and inject expanding foam
00:30this is also called concrete leveling and it's a very effective method in similar cases
00:35it worked perfectly we just fixed a sidewalk and we thought it would be a good idea to actually
00:43build one right now no fancy materials and no complex process here we've created these square
00:55borders filled them with concrete and now we're spraying water on them
01:01or you could choose the traditional route of mixing concrete and using it to fill the border
01:10this sidewalk is ready for walking

02:27also a wooden block might come very handy when it comes to identify spots that are not uniform
02:33the stairs look more than ready for the next step once again we're using concrete but this time
02:44it'll be thinner because we want the finish to be as smooth as it can get
