When Mike drops a video, I drop everything to watch the best 👍
Thanks Raymond, Mike
Mr Haduck, I have a few questions on mortar vs rapid set; I would like to show you a few pics of the scenario? Can I email you ? Thx
@mattgwayman hi Matt, I can't give advice over the internet, but thanks for asking. Rapid set is just what it says it drys extremely fast, that's the difference in my opinion, thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck Totally understood, I think I figured it out. Thanks again
@MikeHaduck So I got a block of ice to put in bucket of water that I mix with the Rapid set and got 70% longer work time.
Hey Mike, another great video. Good to see you’re still enjoying yourself! Sounds like you’re really enjoying your retirement! Good luck God bless! Always enjoy your videos.! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱🇺🇸
Thanks rico,, Mike
👍👍👍. Thank you Mike
Thanks Pete, Mike
Any old chimney repairs? Love your channel ty
Thanks amanda,, Mike
I saw another guy fixing a driveway last night on here and he made a huge deal out of everything and I was saying to myself that Mike would never do all this and your fix would last decades.
Thanks Joe, Mike
Great Information -Thanks
You got that right “it’s no big deal”
No big deal!,,,,,works for me!
I agree, there are lots of guys around making a Big Deal out of small jobs.
Love this channel and its no nonesense approach, as well as the excellent information and explanations.
best channel for no non sense, good advice and excellent work.
Thanks edd, Mike
You are hands down the best resource I have found. Extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Thank you!! You are huge in the development of my skillset you have given me enough knowledge to be able to experiment and find what works in my area, cannot thank you enough!
Thanks Chavez, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
Thanks Mike Haduck Masonry! Love watching and learning masonry techniques.
Thanks Ventura, Mike
Fantastic repair of a fine old stone wall, supplementary materials are obtained from the wood.
Thanks Otto, Mike
I add portland to my toothpaste.
Hi rom, don't smile too much, lol, Mike
"Stay small and keep it all" One of the best lessons I ever learned. Thank you,Mike.
Thanks leafgreen,, Mike
Thanks Mike for the video, I'm still learning stuff from you. I'm out doing brick pavers and stuff like this.
Thanks mar, Mike
I like to make a big deal out of everything.
Thanks akozna,, lol, Mike
i just replaced 12x14 feet worth of my driveway thanks to all I learned watching your videos. thanks Mike!!!
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
thanks for posting
Thanks savio, Mike
Mastery masonry. I learn something with each video. Thank you Mike
Thanks Michael, I appreciate it, Mike
Loved every minute of this one. Looks like Florida is treating you well!
Thanks Jim, my next video will be about me moving to Florida, Mike
what would be considered a big deal?
Hi Omg, I would say a cathedral, or the pyramids, or our highway system, I guess my stuff is small, thanks Mike
I'm getting old for the stuff at 53,lol. But keeps you in shape 💪
Hi Marv, I hear you, Mike
Keep all those women in Florida smiling Mike. Nothing like a miserable woman to ruin your day. Enjoy.
Thanks timothy, Mike
So the two things I've gathered here
1. Don't make it a big deal
2. Pack It
Thanks Trigger, Mike
You make it look so easy Mike, I know it’s not! Thoroughly enjoyed the presentation.
Thanks speedracer, Mike
Working the trowel around tight spaces takes skill and a good sense of feel. Every dropped pile of mortar is time and money lost. It's physically laborious but rewarding as well.
The bible quote was nice!
Thanks, Mike
Nice to visit you again to catch up Indianapolis Jerry ya taught me much upon my own residence only
Thanks. Mike
Oh yes this summer I have to continue my M work
Dont make a big deal out of it!!!
Thanks, Mike
A pleasure, Mike. Thanks.
Thanks Bob, Mike
Thanks Mike! LOVE IT! Great video! Very cool! THANK YOU! Keep the vids coming!
Thanks Jim, Mike
Mike, I fought cracks in a concrete sidewalk for years. Last year I used a diamond grinder to clear the cracks down one inch (limited by grinder). I cut one inch strips of felt paper (tar paper) and cemented it into the cracks with mortar. One part Portland, two parts sand. It hasn't cracked anywhere! I realize "fixing" cracks is usually an annual job. I may do the same thing on the sixty-plus year old patio this summer. Probably get a bigger diamond wheel for that. May make my mortar softer too.
Thanks Brian, Mike
Speaking of churches.....what about that Connecticut church steeple that fell through the roof? Big deal? Steeple was solid enough to stay together for maximum damage.
Hi rosey, I looked it up, I wasn't aware of it, Everything has its time, thanks Mike
Love it when a Mike video drops.
Instant like and watch.
Thanks Dan, Mike
Mike, great videos. I have a few questions for you. When you texture the face of stone that you place on the exterior of a house, how do you attach a ledger board for a porch roof on the stone so it is plumb and the rafters will lay tight against the ledger board? Second, do you teach any hands on stone masonry workshops that last a week or two for people who want to learn ? If not, are you aware of any short term stone masonry schools or workshops that offer training? I have done all sorts of searches but to no avail.
Hi Dave, I couldn't answered the first question. Unless I was actually there, masonry is a dying thing, there might be a few but it's getting less and less, thanks Mike
When i see that there is a new post from Mike i stop everything and watch it......even if my dinner is getting cold !!
Thanks Matt, I appreciate that, Mike
Hi Mike, young homeowner from Chester county PA here and I came across some of your awesome masonry videos.
I would love your advice on my 1800s stone basement. The previous owners tried to make a window that lead to the ground dirt and abandoned it by covering it with plywood that’s now rotting away
I watched your window videos and wasn’t sure how to tackle this one as I don’t have access to both sides of opening.
Thank you again for your videos
Thanks laura,, Mike
I have been following you. Trying to get the nerve up to fix the wall at my mom's house in Scranton. I was surprised you mentioned you worked on a church in Scranton....I did not realize you had a Scranton connection. Small world. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks maria,, Mike
Thanks for the video! Did you use type N (50/50) because it was outdoor pointing or because it was brick? If this was interior would you use the same? Would you something different for stone interior? Thank you!
Hi each situation is different, thanks mike
Mike, I learned so much from your videos. The foundation work we did saved us a ton of money and it's held up great for years now. The Portland cement 'paste' is great for a bonding agent as well as blending colors together. You showed us masonry is fascinating and not out of reach for the average Joe. Thank you. :)
Thanks erik,, Mike
Hey Mike, nice work and thanks for the stiff mix reminder. I have a 1/2" wide, long vertical crack on stone garage from settlement. Do u ever use concrete caulk prior to mortar packing?
Hi Michael, no I just use the cement, Mike
Hey Mike what is the best mix for pointing clay roof tiles in Brownsville, Texas, warm nearly year round and super hot in summer, I need to do this to my roof... thanks
Hi sybo, I can't say, I never worked on tile roofs, I would ask a roofing company, thanks Mike
You have to track down the old timers berfore you kind find out what works in your area. Some of them in Pennsylvania fly south. I'm an Eastern PA raised fella that fids himself in Central PA now and use more portland in my mixes. I have a few decades left on this earth and don't want to do things twice years down the road. Good luck down there and hope you live to a ripe old age so that the knowledge keeps flowing..
Thanks Jeric,, Mike
Hey Mike! Are you ever in the Pompano Beach, FL area? I am looking at enclosing a 1 car garage door with block.
Hi, I am retired and too many regs and license etc, but thanks for asking, Mike
Hi Mike! Enjoyed watching your video. It's been a while. Did you move to Florida?
Hi tex, yes I moved, I will have a video on it in a few weeks thanks a Mike
Mike don’t you wet the cracks first ? And what mix do you get from Home Depot or Lowe’s ? Thanks your the mason man 👍
Hi Ed, check out the whole playlist on repointing stonework, not needed everytime, I show what cement I used in each circumstance, thanks Mike
Thank you Mike . I read your history. Your something! But can you tap dance 🕺🏾 😁
Hi Ed, I don't know but I will give it a try, lol, Mike
Thanks for all your videos Mike, helped me a lot with my old 1940 house
Thanks steve, Mike
like the bulging wall at the cemetary...someday they may be surprised lol
Thanks Sue, I agree, lol, Mike
Whenever I am laying down mortar, you know what I say…. “No big deal”!
Thanks Doug, Mike
I tuck-pointed my stone foundation and son of a gun if I didn't make a big deal out of it.🙂
Thanks 594, MIKE
Mike, our masons poured a 30x32 slab for a garage over by Clarks Summit last week, and we have about five good shrinkage cracks running throughout the slab. Is there any way to resurface this for cosmetic appearance? FYI: They used zip-strips which worked okay but I would not recommend. Those are not where the shrinkage cracks are the concern.
In some cases I would rub some straight portland into the cracks, disguise it that way, usually a pour that big they saw it up for expansion the next day, thanks mike
@@MikeHaduck Thank you.
Brother..... Just one more GREAT TRAINING VIDEO on a subject that is important to many people.... Thanks for sharing your MASTER SKILLS.... GOD BLESS.... Ernie
Thanks Ernie, God bless, Mike
thxs for sharing, must be getting hot there...
Hi Tom, my next video will be about moving to Florida, thanks, Mike
Wonderful video as always, Mike. Are you back in Scranton from Florida for the summer?
Hi David, no, I still have videos left from PA, will be doing a video about my move in a few weeks. Thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck Amazing, I’m looking forward to it.
Mike, can I email you a question?
Hi, thanks for asking but I can't give advice over the internet, Mike
I like it just he always said is not big deal
Thanks, Mike
Love and appreciate all your videos.
I'm about 1 hour south of Scranton. This summer I'm laying up stone against a block wall. Not facing stones but real stones. What mix would you recommend for doing this? Also, is there really a difference in sand vs mason sand? You're no nonsense so figure your opinion would be valid!
Hi Jamie, I got a whole playlist on "stone veneer installation " all my techniques and what cements I used is in the different situations, that might help, thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck It's not actually veneer.
The original foundation was 2 ft thick stone walls and we rebuilt part of it with 10-in block The part where the block is I'm going to put the stones on the outside....
@@jamieemes4292no big deal 🤷♂️
Mike, wouldn't you normally wet the area that you're putting the cement in to to make it stick better?
Hi , in this case the wall is shot and in my opinion I would be wasting time, and it would make a mess, thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck Sorry, I had asked after watching about 8 minutes and then I finished watching it and you explained it in the video.
I think I recognize the house
Thanks, Mike
No bounding agent?
Hi Luis, bonding agents are a new thing, the old timers made their own, but in most cases they are not needed, thanks Mike
Tried and true methods for the masonry in my geopraphic area!"I'm a carpenter in NYC, workin about 20 hours per week, until my daughter graduates NURSING COLLEGE.
Thanks Todd, Mike
Always great knowledge to share. KUDOS MIKE 🎉🎉. Your videos give everyone such confidence to do a great job!
Thanks Andover,, Mike
My flagstone patio repair went through 2 winters now, and thus far no cracks. I used 3 parts sand and 1 part Portland.
That's Great, I appreciate it, Mike
Another fantastic tutorial Mike. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it’s been applied to many projects.
Thanks Josh, Mike
My jumbled brain read, "Returning to work". But it looks like that's what you're doing. It all worked out. You're the best, Mike. Please do a BIG DEAL job before you really retire. Thanks
Thanks Gypsy, I will be doing a video in a few weeks about my move to Florida, thanks Mike
Mike, Florida USA? Did you make the move to Florida and escape the lovely NE PA winters?
Hi jfk, yes I did , my next video will be about that, thanks Mike
I was shocked you cut off the part of the video where you wet it before you shoved it in😂
Thanks, I don't think I did for this video, thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck actually Mike by the end of the video you went into very specific detail as to when to wet it and when not to wet it so it was great as always. I think this is the first time though that I didn't hear you stressing to make sure it's wet so it sticks so I had to learn. Thank you again Mike
Big fan of your videos ! I'm going to try to fix up my rock wall in my basement and fill in two old windows holes. The house is over 100 yrs old and I live in eastern Canada so we definitely have cold weather and snow. Based off what I've learned from your videos its lime not mortar that they used way back then. What should i use for a cement mix with the climate we have ? Any advice would be great.
Hi dann, I would probably think you would be safe with the same as our weather, you could aways ask the local guys, Thanks Mike
brilliant mike
Thanks Richard, Mike
Your good
Thanks, Mike
On old brick houses built in the late 1700s - 1800s in the northeast. I have read about a mix of mostly lime and a small amount of portland the sand used was restoration sand which was a very fine sand.
Hi, there is tons of controversy over what to use, thanks Mike
Hi Mike. It's always good to listen and learn from you...calm and just doing what needs to be done. A person can put this to good use in many situations. Take care.
Thanks juliet, Mike
Mike, i hope you rest in your bed peacefully. For the grapes are rotten, and vile, and we must do what we have to do.--Keith Joseph
Thanks Keith, Mike
This is what I tell myself when I get into a project and I might be a little intimidated. "Not going to make a big deal about it" Works great.
Thanks rufio,, Mike
now mike is from Florida he has forgotten us up here in PA our state has been falling apart without you here.
Thanks ranger, my next video will be about my move to Florida, thanks Mike
I think your bid for a slice of apple pie with the customer lady was accepted.
Thanks Joe, Mike
Its always a great day when you upload mike! I hope im still healthy and working with a trowel in my hand when i get to be your age too, its incredible!
Thanks Tyler, Mike
Another great video! Thank you, Mike!
Thanks bondbeam,, Mike
👍
Thanks, Mike
Another banger, and just before i repoint my stone on my house.
Thanks Robert, Mike
hello mike getting ready to do a little cement work thanks to you I know how
Thanks terrie, Mike
Hey Mike, good video. I knew a wall back in the 80s in my neighborhood in Los Angeles, bulging, top leaning out. To me it was never built right. One day I saw a couple of guys taking it apart, and rebuilding it. Took a couple of days. Looked great, but they were just building another 5' high cinder block retaining wall with no weep holes, no support back into the hill. I remember that new wall lasting about 15 years. Might've been longer but not much. Anyway they replaced it again. Another couple of days. I realized that was the plan. Don't over think it, engineer it, just rebuild it every 15 -20 years.
I've got an almost 7 foot retaining wall along the front of my house, Behind it is a slope that goes up 50' in 170'. It wasn't new when I moved in in 2008, it's still in great condition, still almost vertical. Nothing indicating they'd done anything different. So I guess this one being more 'important' they built it better.
Quick question. What is the purpose and method of the rounded bead pointing that sticks out proud of a wall? I saw that all over China. Occasionally here in the States.
Hi, I did a video called " repointing stonework (part 7) it's called roping or grapvining, a way to disguise the joints, thanks, Mike
@@MikeHaduck Thanks Mike, ruclips.net/video/XhW7KMOAiTk/видео.htmlsi=XUIOLy0BCy4n_Pem Once you explain it it's obvious, but I've looked at roping for years, every Chinese freeway has it. I never noticed the mortar underneath. So it works.
No prewetting for better adhesion ?
For certain jobs but not this old retaining wall, thanks Mike
Excellent video as always...
Thanks Joe, Mike
Great video Mike, very interesting.
Thanks Rocco, Mike
Mike can you point to the chapter in the Indiana limestone hand book that says it’s permissible to repoint stone work or brickwork that was originally built with lime mortar with a Portland cement mortar .
Hi brickbybrick, I thought I did, plus what the cathedral mason said and what they used at the scranton church, I can't do anything more than that, in my own experience I basically use the same ingredients, check out page 23 pointing, thanks mike
Mike the Indiana limestone hand book is a technical guidance booklet on the setting of there products ,I cant see any thing in that booklet that says the Indiana limestone industry recommends the use of Portland cement based mortars to repoint brick or stone work that has been originally built using lime mortars .
@@brickbybricno big deal 🤷♂️
@@deadmanswife3625 incorrect dear . It
can become a very big deal if you repoint a building that s Been originally built with a lime mortar with a Portland cement mortar .
@@brickbybric it was sarcasm
Thank you. Enjoy the new content!
Tanks Thomas, Mike
Top tradesman mike 👍
Thanks Tom, Mike
Thanks, Mike, n good to see ya
Thanks Texs,, Mike
Really helpful information! Thank you.
Thanks Kenneth, Mike
@@MikeHaduck I needed to point some cracks in my brickwork. I used the dry method. I usually need to clean up a mess. No mess. After 40 + years of stone/brickwork on estates I worked as a gardener/landscaper, now retired I learned. Thank you.
wow. that was awesome - well done!
Thanks dwp, Mike
Great video mike!
Thanks Anthony, Mike
If possible, the Home Depot ingredient list.
Hi whiskey, probably so, thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck I mean, what would buy at Home Depot to do these repairs?
You're the best !
Thanks MrB, Mike
I go around the country telling people that cement is a glue, they should never use portland, and that they should make a big deal out of everything. One day our paths will cross and our battle will echo through eternity.
Thanks ralusek,, lol, Mike
