Thanks, Mike

Great video as always Mike! I just replaced my clean-out door 2 months ago. Wish I had waited to see this video because I forgot to open the door and apply see-ment from the inside. No worries, if it falls off, I'll now know how to install it properly. Love your videos!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Sty, mike

[@BillLowenburg]

Nice job, it took five minutes in real time. A Bucks County PA mason would charge the homeowner 500 bucks at a minimum for that job. (plus probably $199 beforehand for an estimate) Northeast PA is lucky to have you, Mike. I just bought cement today to repair my foundation, which I learned how to do from watching your videos. Keep up the good work and thanks!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks bill, actually it was a freebie, and for something like that I don't think I will feel right charging more than a case of beer, lol, mike

[@bonanzatime]

I would have charged you $99.
Back in the 1990s. ..I don't know what I would charge today.?

[@sherrismith6136]

It's good to know you're both good at your craft.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks again Sherri, mike

Hey Mike
I’ve only watched a few of your videos but really appreciate you taking time to set up camera and video the job!!
You have a very pleasant manner, yet very informative and understandable teaching style....keep up the good work
Thanks!!

@@drcornelius8275 i think your mixing apples and oranges re bar with groves on it tied together inbeaded in the middle of 12 inch concrete and the back of a small metal door with a 1 inch flange are quite different i not doubting it ,it just surprises me.

nice to put out videos where stuff gets done

Tha is Savio, mike

[@2late704]

for perfectly fixing the door, sometimes i used to put the chimney door inside to a half~1inches from the wall when it was constructed.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, anything that works, it good to hear from professionals, mike

[@acorntree404]

LOL, You guys should set up "Shoddy cement & plumbing Inc."

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, mike

[@robstephens]

You might want to seal around the door with some "Duct Seal" which might further improve the furnace efficiency. It looks and feels like play dough. You just get a piece of it and rub it between your hands and form it into a long string and press it in place. It doesn't harden and is easy to remove.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Rob, I never used it but anything that works, thanks mike

[@nishaparulekar9488]

Great video. Our clean out for fireplace is in basement. Noticed water leak around the frame. Should we call Plummer or chimney repair specialist?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Nisha, I would see if you have a chimney cap first sometimes the ground is pitched towards the chimney and water will soak through also, , I would check that first, thanks Mike

[@spenmac]

Looks like some one got a haircut, I was thinking is this an older video, coz Mike looks a bit younger 😎

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, mike

[@DanHenryx]

Mike, my cleanout door is not closing. it's cemented in good, and I scraped off any paint/cement around the edges of the door and the frame. I think the door is curved out leaving the gap where it won't latch. Can this be repaired/bent back in shape? Or will I just crack it in half trying to bend it so it closes?
Should I just use Duct Seal to make up the gap at the latch and at the top and bottom as it tapers to the hinge, like the guy below suggests for making the door seal well?

[@DanHenryx]

UPDATE: I tested with a piece a paper at the hinge end to see where it was binding and sanded the door and the frame down with 80 grit sandpaper. at those spots for about an hour - I got the door to close more or less. Now my challenge is to rebuild the latch end. The door part of the latch is in good shape, still has the edge that is supposed to catch on the tab notch, but the frame tab has lost its notch, it's just smooth where the door patch crosses it.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Dan, I seen some plumbers seal it with a putty, but eventually you could replace it, thanks Mike

[@bonanzatime]

Trowel?! I don't need no stinkin trowel..😉😆

*_Hi Honest Mike:_*
I know this is off topic. I have new shed I want placed on a concrete pad.
The shed is small 6'X8' steel. I got a very short window of time to have this shed assembled.
1. I'm in Buffalo, NY. Temps go below 0 degrees in winter.
2. Soil is rich, Black with grass and level (no slope).
3. How deep should I dig the earth out (I assume 4"-6")?
4. Do I need gravel laid first? If so how many bags
5. Do I need Re-bar?
6. How many bags of concrete mix
7. Should I rent a cement mixer for a small shed?
*_Thanks in advance for Your advice._*

[@MikeHaduck]

I can't tell you what to do, but to me it looks like a little less than a yard of cement at 5 inches thick, I'd probably order a truck with a yard , and I like at least 4 inches of gravel underneath, but that's me in my area, every Mason thinks different, thanks mike

[@MemoGrafix]

@@MikeHaduck - Thanks

[@MemoGrafix]

@@drcornelius8275 - Air Entrained.
I researched what that means, definitely not what I thought at first.
Vvery cheap "insurance" I will say.
Thanks for the info.

[@MemoGrafix]

@@drcornelius8275 - Thank VERY, VERY much.
Well it looks like I'm gonna have to order a concrete service to pour. My back aches alot anyway.

[@corbo1130]

Is there another product other than cement that is used for a job like this?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi cor, I don't know but I would imagine it should be fireproof, Mike

[@nishaparulekar9488]

Thanks. I noticed water leaks around clean out door frame.should I call Plummer or chimany repair guy. Our clean out door is in basement.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Nisha, I would see first if you have a cap on top of your chimney, maybe it is the rain getting in, thanks Mike

[@borys444]

Rapid set products seem to have a higher PSI strength than Sakrete, y is that?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Nicholas, I can't say, if I want it a bit weaker I might add sand to the cement all, everything depends on what I am doing , thanks mike

[@Natural-Causes]

Couldn’t you have used a construction adhesive as well?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, those bonding agents are helpful in some situations but there was none when I started, 90% of them are not needed and i almost never use them. In masonry the old timers made there own with wetting it first and a slurry of cement, thanks mike

[@sherrismith6136]

Whoever is talking in your background needs to be quieter. I'm enjoying your handiwork. Great job!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Sherri, mike

[@andysierra5657]

How much a job like the cost ?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Andy, that was a 25 minute job for a friend, I got a sandwich and coke for it, thanks Mike

[@andysierra5657]

I’ve tried to have someone do the job but it seems like no one wants to tackle it ! And I was just curious if it was an expensive fix or people are just afraid or don’t even wanna bother with it .
