Every 5-8 years, I have to chip away loose spots in our foundation (mainly under our un-heated front porch). I took care of that back in late May, along with tearing up some caulk and busted concrete on our front steps:
I patched it with concrete in late May as well, and just 3 days ago (after a GOOD long cure while having a busy 5 weeks in June) I started to coat the bare concrete with primer:
Before and after primer. Looking better!!
And I primed the front steps, filled big cracks with a foam backer rod, and caulked those 2 nights ago:
Primed with backer rod on the left, caulked on the right.
I have some more "spot priming" to do on the foundation and steps, then some grey caulking along where the foundation meets the sidewalk in the 3rd photo (to touch up what I first did and haven't touched
since doing it 12 years ago), and finally 2 coats of paint.
Here's a link to the same jobs being done back in 2019.
