[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Speedracer, Mike

[@joshhalsey8477]

Mike you are a gem, these videos have helped me lay new sidewalk. They’ve also helped with retaining wall repair, brick repair and other things around the house

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Josh, that's great, thanks 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.

[@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

[@rbrazz]

Beautiful! Glad $he went with the new brick. Like that pre-colored mortar, here I add color powder.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks R, 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]

Thanks Dave, I appreciate the kind words, Mike

Thanks old man, 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]

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.

[@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

Thanks Liberty, I agree, 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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@gabec6522]

Love your work but I won't lie the rise seams pretty big on those steps

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Gabe, gotta do what I gotta do, 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

[@rafaelmarin1963]

👍👍

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Rafael, 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

[@chrissullivan7237]

How much you think a job like that would cost in labor?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Chris, a day ripping it and and getting rid of the debris, then getting the new materials, another day putting it in, and then the cleanup, I only been doing work for friends family and old customers, 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
