So, a few days ago I started a project to get these stones
glued back on to the front of my porch.
We have this sweet little house, with this sweet little front porch,
but these front stones keep coming off. Now, we've tried several different
adhesives to keep these things on.
Liquid Nails, we tried Crack and Concrete Masonry Sealant
The guys who came to paint our house, they tried to stick them back on.
And nothing seems to hold them on.
And yes, we did pay someone to paint our house.
You get to a point in life where there are some projects you're
just not gonna do, and I'm not gonna put myself through that.
"Oh, Hell no!"
All right, I gotta let all that dry, and then I will get back to work on it later.
I have picked the absolute worst day to film outside.
The neighbors across the street are pressure washing,
and my next-door neighbor is getting their house painted. It is so noisy out here!
AAHHH!
So this time I'm gonna try some landscape construction adhesive.
Made in the USA!
You know I've never used this little spout cutter here on the side.
Yeah it kind of worked. Not exactly what I would have wanted.
Maybe I need to cut it off a little more.
It doesn't really work.
Ow!
Caulk jokes below.
Like that? Oh, hey, there we go.
I seem to have extras.
This is like the world's least relaxing puzzle ever.
Oh, I didn't pierce it.
I'm a dummy!
Is there such as thing as too much caulk?
(Laughing)
All right, I was wrong:
THIS is the worst day to be filming outside.
(loud electric saw)
All right, it's the next day and it seems like these things are actually sticking on pretty well.
Still a little bit loosey goosey though, because the glue's
probably not completely dry and completely set yet, so I'm gonna let them
dry for you know another few days and come check on them again, but I'm gonna leave this here
to make sure nobody steps on them. This is really kind of a bad
design actually, the way these are here, because you're constantly putting your
feet on them so of course they're gonna break off eventually.
All right, it's been about a week and these are actually on here pretty good.
You can step on them, although I'm not gonna tempt fate right now.
And they actually look pretty good, too. They don't look perfect, but they're matched pretty well.
So it's not super obvious that I've patched it up.
Ultimately only time will tell if these are actually gonna stay on.
We need to get through a hot summer and a cold winter, just to really see.
But for now they're on really good they're not
moving and hopefully they'll stick on for a while.
Wait wait wait wait! Don't go away yet!
