    I remember the China and Scandy visit videos when they came out and the finding of how they all did their sidewalks and how astonishing it was. Mike is a great honest person. Word to the wise, granite blocks for where water touches is what the lesson was if I remember right. Love it!

    In St Louis Mo we use type N for pointing. Most of our bricks are 100+ years old and have a hard face but softer core. It breaks my heart when I see someone who pointed with portland. It pops the brick face off during winter and leaves the soft core. On the old buildings they use O when pointing as the brick was fired some 200 years ago. We can also get lime since many of the hoses have lime plaster on the inside of the brick wall and the inner walls & celling on the oak lath. If you ever want to see some amazing beautiful brick work come to St Louis we have some of the best in the country.

    Thanks Mike, over the years I've been watching your vids. The knowledge I gained has helped me through the past several years. I do my own home improvement and repair. I've repaired a old foundation on a very old house 🏚, repaired a walkway up my yard and now going to try and resurface my back yard with Portland. Thanks You for all the information!

    hey mike! i'm 41 and lifelong contractor of all sorts. i have gotten into stone work on my personal property, and needed to figure out how to mortar this stuff. being that i am in Lebanon, right down the road from you apparently, i found my critical local advice.
    i am working with mountain stone from my family's land on the first ridge mountain before blue mountain, little mountain. in addition to the endless supply of that stuff, i also purchased some beautiful white limestone from a barn building demolition in lancaster county. more than half of those blocks were facing pieces, really nice stuff. and i have also been picking stone from the quitipalihila creek- which i think was an old canal- back behind carmeuse lime in anville. its crazy, im picking blue limestone blocks right from the creek.. haha.
    anyway, you got me going man, and i appreciate it. i would love to come meet you for a coffee sometime! cheers!

    I really appreciate your videos. Sharing your knowledge of a lifetime (well, second gen as well!) of commercial masonry work is so valuable to the DIY homeowner who needs to use cement, mortar, etc. for projects and maintenance work! Knowing what the best approach to take and what mix/product to use is more than half the battle! Plus I love to hear the eastern PA accent!

    Good video and informative Mike. Here in the Carolinas we always use Portland cement for the stone and mix half mortar and half Portland for the grouting if using grout bags.

  • @janderson8401
    @janderson8401 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I worked for a mason back in the 80s, it seemed as if we might as well have been working 40 or 50 years earlier. Ralph never seemed to take any jobs where his Case 380C backhoe in to dig, so everything was dug by hand by two or three laborers. Mortar was mixed by hand in a big mixing box with the ratio of portland cement to lime to sand to water varying depending on whether we were laying brick, block, or stone. Ralph was given a couple of pallets of premix once by a friend of his who had bought an old lumberyard and was converting it to an outlet store for paper goods. Ralph and his brother Nick didn’t trust the premix so we would add a shovel of portland for each bag.

      Hi J, it sounds exactly like the way I was brought up, thanks Mike

    • @twotalljones4790
      @twotalljones4790 ปีที่แล้ว

      I totally agree about adding extra portland to the bagged premix.I have also added crush 3/4 stone as it seems they go light on the stone in those premixes.I will never use round stone only the crushed.

    Hello Mike, thank you for these videos! I have driveway issues, porch issues and water seeping through brick foundation when it rains. Sure feels like it's all falling apart. Researching and trying to find out what to do and how to do it was disheartening at times and overwhelming. Thank God I came across your videos because now I know mostly what I need to do. You have given me the confidence and understanding what I need to do. I started resurfacing my porch and steps last weekend - one of the places water gets under my house. I've bought the cement I need to start on the driveway and I'm going to keep watching your videos and get this place fixed up! Big Heart felt thank you for helping the overwhelming feeling not be so overwhelming!

    UK here, one problem that can happen with block pavements (sidewalks) is that they are poorly footed and break when people drive or park on them, which happens often in dense old cities. A few cities I've seen now use tarmac (asphalt) on the pavement when it needs renovating. Doesn't look as nice but I guess it lasts longer.

    Mike, long time viewer but first time commenting.
    I think i'm not alone when i say we'd love you see you build something entirely old school.
    from getting the stone from the woods or an abandoned quarry, shaping and facing it, laying it out, everything.
    a video series of how some workers in the old school would put up a stone building from start to finish. not some huge building but maybe just a corner section of a wall and then some info on how they did the floors and whatnot.
    we're so lucky in NEPA to have tons of old, load-bearing brick and load-bearing stone buildings. i'd love to see how one of those was actually done from start to finish even on a small scale.

      I get my roller camshaft at my salvage yard because they roll and wear isn't that much at all so.
      Run... Diesel 10w 40..oil in those older trucks.
      Add STP OIL TREATMENT....a day before a oil change...
      Because oil companies have removed zinc...from motor oil rummer I've heard of.....and Stp and Lucas has zinc in the treatment....but don't leave it in a motor....add before a oil change....but yes vortec heads and vortec roller camshaft will make a older Chevy truck run great.
      Instructions are on utube..... difficulty isn't all that much.
      Good to have a older trucks running great as gasoline won't be forever no
      That's my Portland ...for...now

    Great video Mike! Sometime can you talk about previous concrete. I'm thinking about a flagstone patio...and the base will be previous concrete so any water that gets in the joints...it will drain to sub base stone. Thanks

    Mike can you tell us why we do not build bridges and walls out of stone anymore? Here in Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania there are many examples of these types of structures made with sandstone that are in great shape after 100 years or more. Modern concrete seem to deteriorate after 50. I believe the Old School way was better!

    Mike you make everything so much easier to understand...love your videos! I have a specific question about what proportion of sand to Portland that you would suggest for the floor of a fireplace?

    • @MikeHaduck
      @MikeHaduck  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi user, most would use firebrick, some use fireclay ,some use portland and sand, I have used 2 sand to one Portland for the joints but fire will eventually eat everything up, it depends on what you are building it for, where, what and why, thanks Mike

    Around here, 4500psi concrete is supposed to be frost proof, and 4800psi is both frost and salt proof. Probably need some real curing time to get that strength I fear.

Can you please give me link or title of that video as want to show it to my guy who’s going to do my sidewalk? All the ones I’m finding now show you using quickrete & want the one with portland mixture hand brushed. Thank you cuz really need this done!
