  • I block up a doorway to a basement, that is not needed anymore. All my videos are my ways and ideas, I always suggest anyone doing any type of work to consult professional help.

    Being from Upstate NY I can completely understand everything you say about being from the N.E. My house was built in 1920 and has been in my family since. I found your videos when I encountered a waterfall in an old window in my basement after about 3 days of rain. I applied your knowledge to building up broken stone, putting in a new window and stopping the leak. Since then I have sealed up two windows, parged and patched almost all of the walls in my basement. I think I have used about 8 bags so far... It looks outstanding and my grandparents would be proud.
    Thank you Mike!

    I wanted to thank you for the video about installing lintels. my dad learned masonry work from his dad (my grandfather). My grandfather was a stone mason from Italy. My dad used several 2" x 8" x 48" joists as lintels over 1 window and 2 doorways. from the weather the wooden lintels rotted out. when I was a boy I use to mix cement for my dad. we did it the old way using portland cement, lime, and sand. (1973). I installed 6 concrete lintels now it will pass the building code. lol

    Mike, I am always amazed at how quick and easily you get these jobs done all the while explaining in easy to understand layman's vernacular. The experience you have is a real plus in making this work "No Big Deal", that I know I am grateful for.
    Keep up the "strong work"! p.s. I have one of those 123yo stone foundations in PA that is great on the outside but beginning to see age on the inside of an (earth floor) unfinished basement. Yep, using a dehumidifier the last 12 years continuous. Thanks again!

    I'm not about to do any masonry work around my house, but should I ever have to I now know how to get it underway - your videos are wonderfully instructive! On T-shirts you should also add "If you want it to stick you have to wet it first!" and "That's old school."

    it looks like a small job but even big jobs are just small jobs all rolled into one. Mike you use that trowel better than i use a
    knife and fork. Real thing of beauty to watch. Thats how a lot of this country got constructed, one trowel full at a time.
    Have a nice week!

    Hi Mike
    I enjoy your videos as the maintenance person at our church/daycare I have to do cement repairs from sidewalks to no expansion joints in the old building and have to chisel out the cracks and use a very elastic caulking to seal the crack. But I like the old school methods when I can and in Canada there’s always repairs to cement. Those little job videos are a great and I mean a great help to maintenance guys like me that do these little jobs so keep it up.

    Great video! Very cool! THANK YOU! Keep the vids coming! My father, a construction worker ditch digger and cement mixer, filled our basement door in 50 years ago about 1950 after his drunk buddy fell in the hole. Ha Ha! They just threw some big boulders in the hole, then filled the rest in with dirt. It always leaked, they did not even take out the door. About 1990 my parents took out the door from the inside and cemented the wall, but it still leaked. About year 2010, I dug out some of the dirt from the outside down to the first step, the step was still solid. Then I cement plastered the doorway about three inches. It still leaked. Come to find out, the water was getting in the foundation about 5-10 feet away and running in some how. That finally stopped the leak when I plugged that hole. It's an old house, built about 1890.

    Thanks for the video - the variety of jobs you are involved in is fun to see in itself. Little projects can be very instructive because of some of the things you have to work around to get them done (like that pipe). If you ever do any brick veneer work that would be interesting! Most of the brickwork I find here tends to be from the UK where they build quite differently (as I'm sure you know). So for US DIY'ers with that type of house, not a lot of information is available... best regards!

    • @MikeHaduck
      @MikeHaduck  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks David, your right, in the UK brickworrh is still alive where here in the USA it is becoming a slow death, everything is going to premade and pannels, where the cost is cheaper, best regards also, mike

    Great Information Mike, You have taught me a good deal about Mortar, Concrete, & Rebar. I am a electrical engineer, but enjoy building things out of duct tape, construction adhesive, wood, brick, and then more duct tape. I have noticed here in Iowa where they are pouring new sidewalks that they are using a composite fiberglass rebar. As far as blocking up this basement doorway here in this video if you had more time and more money for the project would you consider installing some vertical rebar in the block and doing more work outside of the wall for drainage? Enjoy your videos and plan to watch more of the Master working in his medium. All the Best Mike !

    That type s is probably the least sticky mortar I’ve ever used. I’ve found getting a bag of masonry and mixing with sand to be way nicer to work with.
    When he butters the vertical joints of the blocks already laid and the mud sticks that’s a sign of loads of experience.

    I recall the idea about block not needing water to make mortar stick but I have never understood why. Especially because during repair of block etc you always wet it. Would you mind explaining why no wetting of new block? I appreciate the videos and all your efforts. I would also buy a No Big Deal tshirt in a heartbeat.

    • @MikeHaduck
      @MikeHaduck  6 лет назад

      Thanks mark m basic block and brick work never gets wet because it causes a mess that is hard to clean, Gravity does most of the trick there, but if the brick or blocks have some moisture in it , they do sick a lot better, but yea, water causes a big mess, thanks, mike

    Do this all the time Mike just like your doing it, I have 3 to do next week. However on many jobs they require rebar on each end drilled and epoxied to floor and header, with wall ties 16" O.C. so either you have to cut an a or u block on each end, or you epoxy one rebar in the floor and drill the top holes, then drop a second then leave a clean out on the middle and top, then pull up and epoxy in after your filled in. The next day you hand grout. But only once have I ever had to put rebar horizontally.

    Just wondering if you had an old poured wall foundation from 1914 and the stairs were going to be backfilled, would you drill into the ancient poured wall and add bar?? or is the concrete strong enough to hold the backfill weight?? Thanks. Super nervoud about drilling into the wall. its crumbling in spots, cracks.. Great video. your a pro with the trowel. made that look easy ASF!

    Nice video Mike, you're right about re-bar and and the care you need when building metal into masonry. In the UK they started using angle iron over doors and windows about 25 years ago, and now builders are finding it's starting to rust and swell, often busting up the brickwork if fitted too tight - creating more work, of course, in replacing it. In stonemasonry, we sometimes use little bits of old iron for tightening up the top mortar joint when rebuilding under window cills, replacing sections of wall, etc. - if you tap in some bits of iron it swells in time, which tightens the joint (too much and you risk cracking the mortar). Regards.

    Nice. I plan on blocking my garage door up the same way. I have a ranch home and the garage has a downward pitch because its level with my basement and is under my dining room. Im not gonna fill the pitch . Just gonna leave it as is. I want to block it up the same way and put a door on one side . Closing it will make it look like part of the foundation wall. Any advise or any thing different I should consider when doing it? Should I cut into the floor a bit to counter sink the blocks? Also should I use rebar like you did even though I know you said eventually it will rust ?
