The dust shroud is only $30 and hooks right up to a shop vac. Definitely worth it.

Love the homemade dust collection, this is exactly what I’ll do

[alecscarcliff]

nice homemade dust shroud it worked really !

[rcarioca]

how is the floor holding out ? why did you opt to use mortar filler rather than epoxy or polyurethane base floor crack filler ?

[robhdez]

Dude, love the improvisation...BUT definitely would have sprung for a larger grinder with a real dust shroud...😷🤣

I purchased hydraulic cement to fill those little cracks. What are your thoughts on that?

[danielmarjanovic]

Is it fine to use stucco for the cracks?

[seantran]

I accidentally used red devil rd3000 concrete filler, do you think the epoxy will stick to it?

The crocs help. speed holes for faster progress

Man great video, have you ever heard of Dustless Technologies? They make the best dust collection system (Shrouds and vacuums) at a reasonable price. The time you save on clean up after the fact will be worth what you think you will save by not having it.

Ignorant newbie here, but what kind of handheld sander/grinder is that? I know you put the link to the diamond blade, but what is the actual tool? Thanks! Awesome video. No one else is showing it done this way.

You did a nice job. Brother, you could pick up a dust shroud for $40.00 then buy a couple bags for your shop vac...no dust..if money was an issue...you definitely could have used water, then just vacuumed it up..easy peasy. By the way 4" angle grinder with a shroud and proper diamonds is a great investment...

Like the fact that you use home stuff and system D.

[newfie]

Can this be done during the winter months? Thanks

Did you use clear and shining paint after you painted?

[vicjay]

Always good to spray water on unfinished drywall😊

A dust shield from harbor freight is 30 bucks

Proper protective equipment like crocs

Good god. This is the definition of wasting money and time in an effort to DIY for cheap. Whatever coating you put on that concrete won’t last more then a year. Concrete prep is one of those things you need to do the right way, even if it costs a bit more if you want it to last. Or even look good when you’re all done.

Wetting the concrete floor you're gringing with an electric grinder is a sure fire recipe to die! DON'T DO THAT!
