I do my joints one time too . With a bag after I’m done laying everything. Jointing at the same time is just to messy for me . I rarely ever have to clean a veneer stone with a sponge. From my experiences jointing at the same time seems to be an east coast thing. I grew up in Arizona and spent most of my 30 years working there .

感謝你，麥克。詳細說明。我學到了很多。I am a Taiwanese immigrant to Ohio. I learned some of the cement basics at age 15. Decades working in office later, now I fall in love with cement work again. Thanks, Mike.
as a long time sub on your channel .. I appreciate how you repeat all your important notes on each video. The videos are always interesting and informative and the way you review the project at the end of each video is unique to you .. appreciate that always. Hope you are getting some time to make songs too!
Thanks again Mike, for a straightforward explanation. You have helped me overcome my fears and now I’m doing some masonry jobs around my home that are very rewarding.
It turns out his cousin’s wife owns a rock quarry. 6:1 swimming pool mix. Then the other mix is why. Just like playing pool. I knew there was a reason. Thank you Mike. Right before my prayers tonight. God bless you. I love you.
I just finished a floor tile job in a section of my basement that I learned how to do from you, Mike. We got a new oil burner and it had a different footprint from the old one, so there were gaps in the ceramic tile. I used a saw the way you do and had to cut a bunch of pieces to fit in like a puzzle. It turned out fine because I didn't make a big deal out of it. Now I have to "adjust" the color of the new grout to match the old. The new stuff is a little too dark. I'm going to make a paint out of some new grout and lighten the color with a little cement-all, which dries lighter. If it gets too light, I'll use the mud trick! Now that I've learned a couple of things from you, my wife seems to be able to find a lot of projects for me and it keeps me out of trouble. Thanks!
How did I lose my subscription to Mike's channel? This guy is great. No bullshit and all the info right in your face so you can understand it. Excellent channel.
Amazing how you are actually creating each space and form as you go; lots of work going into this… physical and mental challenge for sure! Thx for these craft videos.
That was a nice job! Invoice them $30-40 bucks and on to the next job. With that kind of profit, when you let the old lady out of the trunk, you can give her a nice new pair of high heeled shoes to Polka with later that night.
Very cool. Thanks Mike. I looked at a failing job today. Manufactured stone. Felt and wire nailed on osb with a scratch coat over it. The stones are falling off leaving a thin layer of the stone itself on the scratch coat. Also the felt and wire is bulging off the wall. Efflorescence is everywhere. There is an excellent flashing at the top of the wall.
Thank you Mike for the video. I have some leftover veneer stone that I am thinking of installing it on the fireplace. This video gives me an idea what’s involved.
This type of job shows your talent in placing the stones, not just technique. I had forgot how you balance out the stone from side to side to look pleasing to the eye. NICE!!!
Thanks for giving such great examples of forward thinking, to help the next artisans out. Both the pool mix in the chimney hole and the nice straight edge for the carpet person to use! Respect 🔥👍
Mike, I’ve watched most of your videos and find value in all of them. Haven’t seen you do a video on water management of an exterior building’s facade. Since mortar joints take in water, and With many buildings framed in wood, or block with vaneer, some old school methods and your comments would be appreciated.
Hi Austin, masonry is masonry, some bricks are like glass and granite don't absorb water like limestone, I am a big fan of big roof overhangs, lol, Mike
I am getting started on my next home remodel project and it is a stone vainer over the old foundation which was previously parged over stone. Fist step is to decide on what product to use and from what I understand you picked up you stone for free from here and there. Can you elaborate on that. I assume you can buy a pallet of stacked stone. I also suspect you can find places to pull up with your pick up and load up a ton of material from a road cut site or cliff base here in north central PA. Any suggestions on stone selection. As a geologist I should be able to distinguish one stone from another. As always, your videos are the best.
Hi Robert, I would check what type of stone was popular in your area, ask some of the old masons how they would approach the project, every situation is different, I wish you well, Mike
Very good video I just wanna ask about the screws you put in I couldn’t see how they were put in or if they were put through the bottom of the next stone or against the top of the stone below it if you can kind of give me an idea I appreciate it. We’re just getting ready to do a 10 foot high wall as well as a 10 foot high fireplace.
Hi Dough, I use them ad an insurance policy, so I usually drill in with a masonry bit and use stainless or something similar, usually on top of the stone before I continue on, everything depends on the circumstances, thanks Mike
Great video Mike, two questions. Why scribe the thin pieces on the sides but not the individual pieces on the front? Do you ever put the base mortar coat on and scribe with a trowel and then let dry and apply stone later.You’re a great teacher, thank you
Hi Michael, those thin pieces were a bit too smooth to put on without scribing, I do put a scratch h coat on sometimes it depends on the job, thanks Mike
With a bit more work for putting the metal lathe and using baling wire makes this type of project stronger, faster, and has numerous alternatives for placing the face stone in any position and angle then stabilizing it with the wire rather than using screws and shims which inevitably shall move as weight Is put upon them, and many more examples for the need of metal lathe as in the strength it'll have with a lathe in the cement. It's equivalent to concrete without rebar since without the rebar concrete crumbles much more easily. Furthermore, with the use of a metal lathe, you're capable of using any type of stone or rock and not limited to merely a type of face stone. Although he made a good choice for leaving the brick since the brick behind the face stone adds to the stability and strength with the added width behind the stone.
Hey Mike, if the brick has been painted do I need to use some kinds of special paint coating to make the concrete stick to it or can I just paint it with some Portland or just stick the rock right to the painted brick?
Hi Sending, in my video I used fasteners between the stones to make sure the stone wouldn't separate, some guys use quickest tile adhesive behind and joint later, lots of diffrent ways to make sure it bonds, thanks ,Mike
The stone mason of Pennsylvania knows his masonry!" And " the stone refused by the builders has become the chief cornerstone----His Name is JESUS!"Psalm 118:22
Hi Mike, I am enjoying your videos. I started to watch because I am going to by a place that needs foundation work. I am now addicted to your videos. I am thinking of building a brick wall in front of my computer so I can stop watching you. Do you have any tips? Thanks for the great work!
Hi Mike. I have some kind of veneer stone on my house, 2008 built. have a few small cracks in the joints. Do I need to clean out the joint completely before the repair or just some ie half an inch. Do tuck point can I use the veneer mortar or some other mix. Thank you.
I put quartz veneer over a similar brick fireplace, the guys behind the contractor counter told me I needed to secure metal lath over it first, I did a sample test directly over the brick, and I hung my body weight on it to test it, I couldn’t get it off unless I chiseled it off, i used the premix vinyl adhesive. It looks great, it wasn’t any big deal. I didn’t use metal lath, adhered it directly to the brick. No big deal.
In this case I am going over masonry, some use a tile board, but if I wasn't going over masonry I would probably used the felt and mesh underneath, thanks Mike
Why not just do a scratch coat on top of the brick and then butter the stones and attach? With two wet cement surfaces, do you run the risk of slippage? But maybe your stones are extremely light? I’m working with 1” thick veneer stones and doing a lathe scratch coat
Hi Mike - this is off this topic, but it is a recent video you've made, so will put my question here in the hopes that you see it and reply. I've watched pretty well all your videos, including the ones about the pyramids around the world. Regarding the ones in Egypt, my friend says that the old pyramids were built by laying the casing stones, and then filling behind them with rubble, but that the more "modern" ones / the later ones, were not built that way, and that they are made of solid blocks piled up, with no rubble fill. Could you please say what you saw and know about it. Thanks Mike!
Hey mike i was wanting to do this my ranch house has brick wainscoting with a concrete cap and it’s an ugly color yellow brick those stones are beautiful would i be able to go over them like on the chimney
@@MikeHaduck thanks mike I’m probably better off tearing out the brick so it doesn’t stick out so far ! I definitely want to replace it with natural stone my house is sheeted with john mansville black sheeting would you recommend 1/2” plywood as a substrate behind it ? I want it to last I live in pa 45 minutes south of ya . Thank you for all your great videos full of knowledge
thx for the tips mike once again sharing your craft with all the tips BTW i know you didn't buy that grinder lol some one had to gift it to you you are like me old school use your tools till they dont work lol ... p.s if you did buy it i'm guessing it killed you to do so ha ha just kidding one more thing where's honest mike down south for the winter?
"Not a big deal." Priceless words for many situations.

What would you do if you had existing mortar cracks between hearth and wall brick?
Hi, do what works, thanks Mike
When would you do a scratch coat?
Hi Gen, maybe building out to fill in holes or usually over wire, my opinion, Mike

Hi Mike. I have some kind of veneer stone on my house, 2008 built. have a few small cracks in the joints. Do I need to clean out the joint completely before the repair or just some ie half an inch. Do tuck point can I use the veneer mortar or some other mix. Thank you.
Hi Robert, I got a whole playlist called " repointing stonework" I show all my techniques there, I am sure it will help, thanks Mike
I've used that quikrete mortar mix before and it seems kind of weak. But I see people buying it at the store.
Hi , it's good for a lot of simple things but if it's a outside job or something I want to stick, I might add a little Portland, thanks Mike
im confused on if I have to use metal lath under the stone. you didnt use it here but i see other channels do it. Is either way ok ? great video !
Hi Jose, it depends, I don't think it would hurt but this was directly over masonry, if I was going over wood I would probably be using the wire, Mike
@@MikeHaduck ok thanks….. im laying some slate ledgestone over my brick fire place… sounds like I might not need the wire under it…. thanks again
I would love a shirt that says "no big deal"
Hi, patrick,they are there in the description box, thanks, Mike

Thanks, Mike
Mike, Curious about when you will retire and move to Portland?
Hi, I am mostly retired, just filming small stuff, I would be in Florida but my dad is elderly. Thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck As much as you've supported Portland, I figured they'd give you and your pops a key to the city.
just wondering if the stone you used were flat on the back because you flattened them or were they just flat as you found them
Hi Jorma, that's how I found them, and looked for that, thanks Mike
That’ mortar cement is no good I bought it before it has too much sand very smart to put Portland cement Love your videos man you’re a great🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks Cuban, Mike
so no felt paper and lath is needed if doing a veneer stone indoors? only exterior is when lath and felt paper is used. is this correct mike ? thanks!
In this case I am going over masonry, some use a tile board, but if I wasn't going over masonry I would probably used the felt and mesh underneath, thanks Mike
