I love this guy... he's hilarious...
You're the Bob Ross of masonry :) and yes, I got it: it needs to be wet. I like your video's and your love for 'old school'.
hi Rob, I appreciate it. mike
Thanks Bro you saved me lots of time
thanks, I hope it helped, mike
Yo good vid not alot of people kno about the water man good for rookies
Thanks u, mike
You just made a roofer into a chimney guy ! THANKS !
Thanks Lou, I am glad if it helps, mike
Should have been a piece of lead flashing over that parge job, but I guess if it don't leak, it don't speak.... ;-)
Thanks for the great videos by the way...
Glad to hear others getting clothing from Salvation Army.
Perfectly good clothes for dirt cheap.
And it helps sustain their other good work.
Thanks 2truth, Very true, Mike
HEY MIKE when you use that tar especially where you live if you want it to last and I know your not that worried about the roof part of the job but if you use fabric its sold near the tar n stuff put a little fabric in between the layers of tar that should make your chimney job water tight for many many years just in case there not roofing it !
thanks lou, I just learned something, it makes sense for sure , thanks mike
That's a great idea..
everyone one should know a roofers expertise on blackjack. the thicker tou put it on. the fester it cracks. never use excess blackjack. just enough to cover it. thats it
Good advice, thanks Mike
lol, you are hilarious, great video
hi 2135, I appreciate it. mike
hey mike could u please tell me the right kind of cement or morter i should use, i am going to try to build a 2 face stone wall house with limestone on our property in southern kentucky, i have watched all your masonary videos over and over lerned a lot but still unsure about the morter or portland cement i should use ?
Hi John, I don't know if they will let you build like that with the codes, I use 2 mason sand to 1 s mortar for up and down, I explain it on what cement should I use video, others might say different, thanks Mike
Great job as usual Mike,
Hey Mike, what do you do when someone has painted brick and you need to repair cracks, I have a block foundation that I wish I could parge coat after filling the gaps. (I used hydr. cement on those gaps so far)
hard call for sure, if was painted before I patch it and paint it again, that's about it, thanks mike
Mike, I can't find where you talk about how to make fire brick mortar or if firebrick is the only safe thing to use in fireplaces, bar-b-q's, etc...
I talk about it some on "How I build a stone fireplace" (Part 1) Mike Haduck. I would think everybody got their own opinion on this and it will all depend on how much you would use it. check with the code guys to make sure. thanks mike
Mike thanks for the video. How do you feel about a cap on top of the chimney after doing that? Needed or no?
Hi Chris, I mostly recommend caps if possible, thanks mike
I have a really similar situation on a rental. I was thinking about doing this and painting it with drylock to help with water. Any thoughts about that?
Hi Moses, I couldn't say unless I was there to see it, but In the playlist I have painted chimneys, thanks Mike
Thanks Mike, My Sis paid a guy last year to recoat her chimney and this year one side is craking again, we will give that rapid set a try, there is no cap on the chimney think that would help? Wayne
Hi Wayne, in most cases with the new furnaces you need liner, cap or power vent like on (part 4) that might be why it is cracking so early, I hope it helps, thanks mike
hey mike if i am going to build a 2 face stone walls on kentucky clay 11 feet high should i poor a four foot wide footer , what do u think ?
Hi John. Anymore you got to talk with the inspectors, and leave the liability with them, thanks mike
Mike thank you for the informative videos. I truly like your work because it provides information that is not taught in the books. I am hoping you could make a video on how to solve a problem like mine. I am looking to tuck point my 100 year old chimney, it has a witches bend. The chimney section in the basement is in good shape, mortar is good.The section in the attic has the bend, and the mortar between the bricks crumbles to the touch. I was quoted 800 dollars that I don"t have righ now. Bbecause of the bend, I am afraid that one of these days,it will come tumbling down and my home will collapse lol! No laughing matter! I have worked with cement before but never done a chimney and I am not able to find any info on how to tackle this situation. Should I start from the base (from the attic floor up, or from the top where it meets the roof and then down? Should I tuck point just a few bricks at the time to avoid weakening it too much? I am afraid to brush out too much of the old mortar and risking the whole thing to fall down...Help! Your advise is very much appreciated.
Hi baba, it’s a hard question to answer, most people are doing away with masonry chimneys, And going to power vents, because eventually they all rot away, two years after i fixed his chimney, That is what the owner did, I always say just like the dentist, take it down to where it’s bad and replace the bad part, I think that would be your call, I hope it helps thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck Thanks a lot Mike, I appreciate that you took time to answer my question. I will follow your advice.
Mike, could you tell me if using the black tar is way better than using black flex seal paste? I know it's a new product but wondered if you knew anything about it. ❤️From WV
Hi Terry, I never had a problem with the old tar, but no matter what I check my roof every year, thanks mike
Mike, here in Hazleton. The problem is about a quarter of the whole cinder block is gone, but the flue is intact. Can I build up or mound concrete around it?
Hi cowney, unless I was there I can't say, I show a lot of diffrent techniques through out the chimney repair videos, I hope it helps, Mike
POLYMER MODIFIED MASONRY CEMENT mixed with some PORTLAND CEMENT a trowel or two mixed in like you say for the weather in Pennsylvania be used to attach one section of 13 by 13 inch square 2 feet long terracotta pipe keeped in place a an extension for better draft of my chimney Mike ?? The section will be cemented and inch or two higher than the masonry joint to keep it in place and not get blown off the roof Sir ?? Please give me your best view on this top of the chimney Mike ??
Thank you for y our videos which really give one an education on mason work. Goo day and peace to you Sir too. vf
Hi victory, I can only show what worked for me. I would have to be there to see it, I would ask some of the locals. Thanks Mike
The Spec mix adhered veneer POLYMER MODIFIED MASONRY martor vm-04 website stated the mix is for easy sanding of cement floors. This supposedly has high strength and sealing from weather. I was figuring it should last at least 4 months with some Portland cement mix in with the martor. Please Mike would this work for me what do you think ??? Thanks fella. @@MikeHaduck
Hey, Mike. I've watched quite a few of your videos and I have learned a lot. Thank you so much for the videos and the information. You are great!! I'm getting ready to lay flue blocks to repair the top 10 feet of my chimney. Can you give me any tips? I live in West Virginia. Thank you!!
Hi Chrissy, I would just consider the furnace, if you need a metal insert or not, I hope it helps thanks mike
i realize Im kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Cohen Junior flixportal :D
@Rocco Declan thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it!
@Cohen Junior No problem :)
Great job, but could you have added brick coloring to the cement to make it look a little better?
yea I guess but it was a hurry up fast job, no time for extras. thanks mike
Should the original house have metal step flashings between the roof and the bottom of the chimney? Tar patch will shrink and crack, translate to constant maintenance.
Hi Kim, I would say yes, especially if they were to put on a new roof, a patch is a patch, thanks, Mike
What brick sealer did you use?
Water based or solvent based?
Hi, everything is mostly water base now, thanks mike
Hide all your sins, that's great. I need to assemble a homeowners kit; I have to clean out some poured foundation decay under basement windows and build it back up, point a chimney, caulk concrete/wood joints, small slab and a threshold. What's a good kit to put together so I can do cement repair at any given time? Thanks for documenting your work, amazing artistry...
thanks, I am just showing what the old timers showed me. I would check out my videos on foundation repair, that might help, thanks mike
You're lucky, I had to chase some girls doing the Polka off my roof just the other day !!
them wimmin got their ways for sure, lol mike
What did you paint it with? Portland, Courtland?
Hi David, yes Portland, thanks mike
Great video. What should a homeowner expect to pay for a patch job like that?
Hi Tony, I guess it depends on how high the roof is and what they charge in your area, a one day job, plus materials and how many guys working?, everything depends, thanks mike
Mike Haduck Masonry What if you put flashing all around the chimney and then coat it
can u use thin set to skim coat?
I never used thin set for a chimney so I am not sure how it would take the weather or hold up outside, thanks mike
ok. seen some other mason dude on here. he uses thin set for risers on stair repairs. he says its the best
Patrick Fearick I guess I would have to test it so untill then I couldn't give an opinion thanks mike
"Hide all your sins." 😳😃
"There ain't gonna be no girls dancin' with high heels doin' the polka." 😃
Thanks David, mike
I have some cracks in my chimney crown. It's leaking into the inside and effervescence is on the inside and outside of chimney. Can I fill cracks with new mortar ( cement ) and then cover it all with tar. Would tar be a fire hazard? Sure wish you lived next door. Thanks in advance!
Hi Sherry, I would watch the rest of my series to get a better idea on what I say about chimneys, (they are a thing of the past). and then make a decision, I can't say what to do unless I was there to see it, thanks mike
Thank you for your prompt reply. I have watched all you videos on chimney repair. My chimney is here to stay. I have a wood burning Buck stove in my fireplace and have a stainless steel pipe up the chimney. It has insulation around the pipe. My chimney top/crown is concrete and has a few cracks letting water inside the chimney. I need to know how to repair them. Chimney is in good/ stable condition, bricks are all good and attached. No loose mortar. Structurally sound. I can't get up there to get you a photo. Sorry. Can you please offer me much needed advice? Thank you in advance.
Hi Sherry, the best advice I could give would be to get some more opinions from the locals, I can not give advice over the phone, or internet, I am sure you understand, and then maybe if will be cost effective to have a pro fix it. pictures don't always tell the real story, see what they say and go from there, I hope it helps, thanks mike
There are no pros's around my area....LOL Thank you very much
Sherry Lee Perdue hi! you can fill the cracks with a cement and sand mix then when it drys a few days cover with the black roof cement hope this helps.
Imma need a bigger sponge!.hide all my sins😆
Thanks santino, in many cases it's very true, lol. Mike
A drop cloth would of worked nicely as cutting in some flashing too.
Hi James could of but not what they wanted, I think they tore it down and got a new roof, Mike
Mike, you kept saying spray some water before any concrete work. why?
+Jim Hunt wetting masonry is what makes the masonry stick, but it depends on what your doing, thanks mik
I am doing cermetic tiles.
+Jim Hunt I have a couple videos on tile work, but that's a whole different thing, I would check out the youtuble tile guys for that, thanks mike
save money
Thanks batman, very true, Mike
No big deal!
Thanks Jim, mike
Oh man..why didnt u put a piece of carpet down around chimney.that patch jobs not gonna last
hi lisas, still going strong, thanks mike
@@MikeHaduck Great job as usual Mike! Grazie Maestro!
