01:22will be
01:27since the steps go upwards we must also ensure that the sides of the steps are
01:32also cut in that direction and that they don't point up once the first part of
01:40the project is done we can move on to adding the concrete bags in order not to
01:45make a mess we added a plastic bag underneath let's cut these bags open and
01:53pour out the concrete however we can't leave it like this right now we need to
02:00level the mass one step at a time we're going to trowel it just like that so that
02:08the steps are leveled and flat we wouldn't want any bumps here right with a bit of

02:52well done let's go over the concrete tiles just once more you can really be
02:59creative with them if you want to by adding some colorful stones just like so

03:13into the concrete so that they cure and turn solid when that process is over take
03:21some water and a hard bristled brush and scrape out the layer on top see how the

04:00then cover it with soil plant whatever you want and watch it bloom within months
04:08this way you can have fresh produce all year round so far we've seen how to form a
04:15concrete tile so replacing a broken one is going to be a piece of cake let's look
04:20back on what we learned and fix this first we need to make sure that everything is flat so that
04:30the tile doesn't match with the others so once we pour out the concrete we make sure that it is
04:40properly leveled then add the water continue the process until he reaches the top and you'll be
04:48left with a perfect looking tile no need to worry about this problem anymore let's make a little
04:57concrete area in front of the chicken coop first we outline the needed space then we need to dig up the
05:05ground and flatten it before pouring the concrete place the boards once again and
05:13then add the concrete bags trowel the concrete around so that it's the same in
05:18every corner we want this to be perfect we place the rebars in the middle for
05:26reinforcement before adding more concrete on top flatten the entire area so that it's
05:34completely leveled there now it looks perfect let's add the water on top and wait for it to cure
05:42in the end it should look something like this once you get the hang of it the projects become easier
05:53right let's end the video the same way we started it by making another paving area covered in concrete
06:01we know the drill by now right let's open up these concrete bags and level the area if you want to
06:12make a bigger paving zone then you're gonna need a few more bags trowel it to every corner to make
06:20sure that it's completely leveled add the rebar net on top and continue with the process
06:27we need just four more to cover the rebar net completely didn't we tell you that concrete was
06:38the champion of DIY we made all of these projects easily with these bags now let's add the water and
