My marriage was failing up until I saw this channel, I added a bit of Portland to my marriage and all is good. Great video Mike, you are a master

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, lol, Mike

[@jimcramer9656]

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Nick, God Bless, Mike

[@user-rw7xd7qy3j]

Mike you have such a wonderful personality and you're a great teacher. It's so calming watching you. It reminds me of watching Bob Ross as a kid all the time even though I don't paint (or lay concrete). Thank you

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks R, I appreciate the kind words, Mike

[@dazuk1969]

I agree R, it's hard to put your finger on it but Mike does have that calm Bob Ross thing going on that is very easy to watch. And we also learn stuff we wouldn't otherwise know. Peace to ya Bud.

[@dazuk1969]

Great job as always Mike, and I think most people would agree that doing all that work AND setting up the camera in between so we can see the process makes it even harder. Much respect and peace to ya Mike.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Darren, Mike

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks David, God bless, Mike

[@Comicus8102]

Mike confirms here what it has taken me years to realize. as a DIYer. You can’t expect to have a cook book list of instructions, especially when dealing with an old house. It takes a little creativity to be able to adapt to each situation. Thanks Mike, God Bless.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Comicus,,,God bless, Mike

[@lucretiagittend7896]

Thank you for taking out time to create a whole playlist for brick stairs and masonry. Professional experienced masonry work. It looks great.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks old man, Mike

[@thriftywitch7769]

Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful.
I am gearing up to repair the front steps on my 100 year-old house. They are stone with bricks risers, and were built by my grandfather so I want to save/ restore as much as possible. I've been trying for 2 years to find someone in the area to do the work or help me, but no luck so far. So looks like I'll be learning haha wish me luck!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks thrifty,, Mike

[@johnmiron3439]

Amazing, this Canadian boy just bought an 80 lb bag of Portland cement and 2 bags of rapid dry mortar mix. I have type s cement, sand and just add water concrete, not rapid dry. So I am building up an arsenal.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks John, Mike

[@julietphillips1991]

Mike, I'm so glad you didn't say this one was "no big deal" because it kinda was a big deal! The pattern really helps get it right! Your customer is surely pleased!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Juliet, Mike

[@krowraven7]

beautiful stairs Mike I really enjoy your energy when you build it's old school and simple ( you make it look smple)..It's almost theraputic for me to watch your videos. Thank you. I'm a carpenter in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and I believe if your going to learn well you have to have peace inside of you while your working. you show that.

[@MikeHaduck]

[@Don-pq5gg]

Excellent. Mike, you are a real craftsman. Thanks.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Don, Mike

[@ebw_servant_of_GOD]

Brother.... What is there to say.... Fine work from a fine man who freely shares a MASTER MASON'S KNOWLEDGE. Your steps look GREAT. Your advice to take you "CUSTOMER" with you to select the product to be used may fall on deaf ears if any tradesmen even care to listen, as most think they know it ALL....
GOD BLESS MIKE.....Ernie

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Ernie, God bless, Mike

[@johnkeller9448]

Ones again, it is great to see the skill of a craftsman that has been around the block a few times, and Mike, you have literally been around the block a few times. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and for another great video.

Mike, My mother came from Dunmore. I'm your age. Her brother was my uncle Armand Cola. I've been following you for years and I always wondered if you knew my uncle Armand. He was a friendly guy and my mother told me he was well known.

[@ISaidGoodDaySir77]

I enjoy your videos Mike, keep up the good work!
By any chance have you ever done a walkway or patio & jointed it with pitch?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, no but I seen them do that in Wales UK, thanks Mike

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Brian, Mike

[@hollyedge7218]

You're amazing!!! I would love to hire you to do the masonary work on my place.I'm nervous to do it myself.Not sure what goodies I'll find

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Holly, I am sure you will do fine, Thanks Mike

[@harleyjune1233]

i might have missed- even with template as yard stick - why not put it back with backing first and then face it... this is how we typically or rather always do it when ground up...forms or blocks and fill then face brick...just curious - the work is awesome as usual - great day to ya

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Harley, it's too easy to make a mistake that way, thanks Mike

[@harleyjune1233]

@@MikeHaduck i am sure - but this seemed like it could have been considered a new construction (less the handrail being there) - what were the landings - slate?

[@MikeHaduck]

@@harleyjune1233 bluestone thanks Mike

[@ranger178]

do they still make that super hard really smooth brick my dad's house had that on front facing street and it was all soft regular brick on the other sides. the hard bricks on front looked brand new after over 100 years

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Greg, I don't know , there are so many styles and types anymore, thanks Mike

Thanks Sofi, Mike

[@timmiller8495]

I’m confused at the beginning, did you “patch” it before, that failed and had to replace whole thing???

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Tim, I was planning on patching it the year before but it was too far gone in the spring, thanks Mike

[@TheSirtified]

Do you do any work Philadelphia? Would love to have you come out and look at our house for some masonry work.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Dan, no but thanks for asking, Mike

[@texan3frisco812]

Mike quick question I have a porch which is red brick with a buff color mortar my mortar is coming out, looks terrible how can you fix this sort of thing?
Thx,
SB

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Texan, I got a video called repointing brickwork, that should help, Thanks Mike

[@sadeemsadeem9301]

Hello sir Mike...
Well-done .
With this subject I would
like to ask about the stander height of such steps.which height of step
can be the better?
Much appreciation...

[@janderson8401]

The maximum height of a step is set by the local building code. This is also called the riser height. It used to be pretty standard for masonry step to have a rise of 8” per step. Current code in my area calls for a rise of not more than 7.5” per step with no variances of more than 0.25”.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Sadeem, yes it's determined by local building code, but you can't ever get a straight answer from these inspectors, thanks Mike

[@markiobook8639]

great idea using God made materials as foundation for the man-made. The slate will outlast the house.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Markio,, Mike

[@shelleyshell1150]

I’m just curious to know if the brick part of the steps could have been concrete over

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Shelley, it was too far gone, but if it was just worn on the outside I could have stuccoed it, thanks Mike

[@74stevedc]

How come the colored mortar I like your father's garden mud trick. Was it because that is what you had or customer wanted 🤔.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Steve, yep had to match the other brick joint color, thanks mike

[@Thehysteria1987]

Hello mike , i am doing a parapet wall in where i have 7 courses on de the right side of my wall , and 7!courses to finish , since you are a mason consultant i just wondering how much do you charge per consultation

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, I can't do anything over the internet or phone I would have to be physically there, best to check with the locals but thanks for asking, Mike

[@CatGarlo]

Will you do my steps? And some work around my house near Monticello, ny?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Cat, thanks for asking , I moved to Florida, thanks Mike

[@scottstephens4587]

Wish I could send you a few seconds of video that I took in Ephesus right behind a notable statue. Several Italians are reconstructing a 2-4k years old wall.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Scott, It's been on my list to visit someday, thanks Mike

[@eastunder55]

I noticed that you have a new wheelbarrow. Did you buy that on time or get a 3 year lease?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi easttunder, I got a no interest loan, less than a year, lol, Mike

[@petediamond7263]

Mike show us the difference between concrete block and cinder blocks? Why didn't you wet the stairs? What is the cost of a job like this? I would think over 1000 dollars?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Pete, cinder blocks were made from coal cinders from the powerplants, they don't make them anymore, they didn't hold up well, I probably did wet the bottom but didn't film it, thanks Mike

[@mommahydro]

Is Portland cement?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Momma, I show what I use in each circumstance with steps, I got a video out also called lime, mortar and potland, what should I use.? Thanks mike

[@jakehrst]

I sure miss working in that trade.
