My wife was cracking her whip on Saturday. We got the fountain in the front garden all winterized. The statue is off the base and covered. The base that holds the water is drained, and cleaned.
There was one more "while we are out here!" The concrete birdbath in the east north garden (yea, there is a east south garden) has a leak.
So I get to tote the solid concrete basin of the birdbath to my garage and put it up on my workbench. So today I got after the crack with a Dremel and a cutting disk and cleaned up the crack. I have a tube of concrete calk and I smushed it down in the crack as far as I could get it to go, and smoothed the surface. I told her it has a 100% money back guarantee to last until the water is put back in. It may hold a while, but I don't see it lasting long. The crack is still there on the bottom side. Water will indeed get into it, and then freeze, and the crack will get wider. What do I know about concrete crack repairs.
