God Bless you. Salt of the Earth soul so generous to share your wisdom!
Thanks Richard, Mike
Wow Mike. Your videos convey so much in short edited clips. You're video style of narrating over short clips is pure genius. A lot of videos ramble on but you get straight to the bare essentials. Thank you so much for sharing your hard earned knowledge with us diy homeowners who can't always afford a master craftsman such as yourself. I know you would be worth every penny though!
Thanks For the kind words Jason, I appreciate it, Mike
Mike I did framing roofing and concrete for 45 years. when I watch you it reminds me of the hard working decent guys that never cheated or robbed people that I started working for when I was 16. you are that type of guy but sadly today a lot t are the opposite of you
Hi Mr Meener, I hope that is true, I appreciate the comment, thanks mike
It is true Mike would not lie about that
@@Helpasos tell me about it hebrew boy I did framing roofing and concrete almost 50 years. your tribe rips off trillions. your devil god in the OT says we gentiles will be your servants water carriers and hewers of wood
Young people can learn a lot from you Mike, your videos will jump start many careers. You are exactly what our country needs.
Hi Gary, thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it, Mike
Making it look easy comes from a lifetime of experience. Masonry is the roughest and toughest in the Construction Industry and so is Mike!
Thanks Randall, I appreciate the kind words, mike
Dear Mike I'm on a big job I'm the lead contractor remodeling a night club here in my city I usually sub out all my masonry and tile work well from watching a bunch of your vids I have completed several tough jobs thanks to you my favorite trick is how you blend stucco this looks beautiful and you helped me tile a lot easier by laying it all out dry and make all your cuts as well. and this weekend I'm gonna put in a lentil and steel door these are jobs I never would have even tried to do well now I look like I know a thing or two THANKS FOR PUTTING FOOD ON MY TABLE !!!
Hi Lou, that is great, I glad in some way the videos help and I really appreciate the comment, thanks mike
Mike, I love watching your videos. I'm a DIY homeowner who has never been afraid to try my hand at something new. I learned to do masonry over 30 years ago partially from my father-in-law, who spent his entire career in the construction industry and partially from reading then doing. I enjoy doing masonry work. There's something very satisfying about it. when I moved into another house I needed to have some block-work done and could not find any local contractor who was interested in small jobs. I was really disgusted so I jumped in there and did it myself. Man I wish we had TH-cam and your videos 25 years ago.
Thanks, I appreciated it, that's what it is all about, mike
I really like your video, it's fast moving, no added stuff - you get right to the point. thank you so much.
Thanks Mary, I appreciate it, Mike
I have known many seasoned contractors in my lifetime. You are one of the best teachers I’ve seen on TH-cam. Everything you learned was trial and error, and experimentation. You probably had an amazing master mason teacher yourself. I learned all my skills from small job master craftsman like you. Thanks for all you do, your profession is a lost art.
Thanks , I am just passing along what I learned from the old timers, mike
Thanks for the video. Gave me the confidence to tackle a patio job I've been putting off for years. I used your suggestions and it came out good enough for me.
Hi scotia, that is great, glad if it helped, thanks mike
I use rapid set too all the time, great product! Hope your well Mike thanks for the tips. Charlie
thanks Charlie, I agree, I appreciate it. mike
Thanks Again Mike!
I have to say though, you make it look so easy and your end results are terrific.
thanks Patrick, I appreciate it. mike
He may make it look easy, but trust me, this crap can create a big mess faster than you can blink your eyes.
Thanks for teaching me from your experiences. I have used many of your techniques. Some I messed up on but then I watched the videos again to help me do it better.
Thanks Jeff, mike
Love watching a master at work. Thanks for the great info! I have a fireplace that I need to even out in the front so I can put stacked stone there. I'm using the mortar mix to make a mortar bed and to fix some loose bricks the builders stuffed in there when the house was built in '47.
thanks john, I hope it works out, mike
Thank you Mike, for sharing your knowledge and experience .
Thanks Kelly, I appreciate it, mike
Your videos are the best masonry DIY advice for total newbies! I recommend your videos every chance I get!
I found your videos about 4 years ago when I had to do a few jobs around my house, and I was a total greenhorn intimidated by masonry. Your videos are priceless! You explain everything so well as to the how and the why. Your advice on choices of materials is also great because when you ask a merchant about materials the answer is always that what they have to sell is what you need, not necessarily what is best. BTW, that Cement All you recommend is a unique fantastic product that I've used on several projects, and it is well worth its higher price. Thanks you so much!
Thanks Frank, I appreciate the kind words, mike
Thank you for this video it's excellent. I am repairing my stairs and learning as I go and I just purchased these products sort of thinking they were what I needed but was unsure on how to use them because the fast setting part scared me. This really helped me out a lot and will make the rest of my repair much smoother. You're a great real world teacher.
Thanks, Mike
Thanks for turning me on to these products. I've been doing so much repair work like you do and different tips, methods and products only makes me a better mason. I love both of these rapid set products now.
The wetting of everything before doesn't just help make it stick, it helps it not dry too quickly and shrink crack. Not drying to quickly helps it cure better and stronger too.
You also got me scouting for couch cushions on the side of the road now. Haha. Take care sir, and thanks for the videos, Matt
Thanks Matt, I appreciate it, Mike
Good morning Mike’s, I have learn so much from you, thank you so much, God bless you.
Thanks William, God bless, Mike
Thanks so much for the excellent examples. We purchased this exact rapid set masonry cement yesterday, and thanks to your video had a fantastic experience recementing several pieces of brick in the wall after doing a spigot pipe repair. Amazingly, it looks a bit better than before!
Thanks Rob, mike
Did my first small repair of a crumbling retaining wall over the weekend with your words "no big deal" guiding me through. I used the rapid set mortar mix with no problems. I love watching your videos and I can't thank-you enough for sharing your experiences and expert knowledge. Thank-you!!!!
Thanks Kim, Mike
Thanks Mike, the rapid set was handy when I was using irregular shaped rocks to hold them in place. The pillars turned out pretty well. " for a beginner" Anyway, I really appreciate your helpful videos.
I had that same vision when you were talking about fast set, I would always look at it as a product used for fence posts. Then after using it, man what a time saver, every minute on a job that can be saved, equates to money and that's fine by me. Good work my friend, a true mechanic. God Bless and stay safe out there. 👍
Thanks Steven, God bless also, mike
Great video, I learnt lot of great tips. Its great for a DIYer to see a skilled tradesman at work.
I had tried repairing a step earlier in the week, but the box said 3 parts quick set cement to 1 part water so that's what I did exactly. Turns out it was way too soupy, but I didn't realise so ended up just trying to use it.... it didn't turn out too well. After watching your video I've made a new batch, much thicker, chipped away all the mess I made earlier, and now made a nice job of it, Thanks!
Thanks carping, I am glad it worked out, Mike
Rapid Set stuff is a miracle for sure…..if you recall I asked about SET Control additive last week. This week I jumped on it heavy to learn it all the way. Man, it is as great a miracle as the different Mixes. Wowed me for sure. It is a super fine tune and very easy to get “used to the throttle”. Eliminates the Rapid Set pressure knife time, yet wield its powers with your SET Control. It’s great.
Thanks Mike, someday I will have to try it, Mike
Yeah, it does help with the anxiety of putting that stuff on. What I’ve been using lately because it’s a lot cheaper is citric acid which is supposedly the same stuff as the retarder.
@@theloneviking9145 it's 90 to 100% chance that citric acid is the same stuff, why I say that is because the data sheet says so (from the manufacturer).
I really like seeing all these techniques like this. I never got to see anyone work cement before and it seemed so mysterious and cut and dried. Now I see you with your tools, sometimes the tool is a rubber glove, and I want to do it too. Thanks, Mike!
Thanks Libda, mike
After watching your video, I used the cementall on my patio. My patio in Michigan had a lot of pitting because of all of the salt I used the winter before. It was spalled really bad, with half to 3/4 inch divots. I first filled in the big holes with cementall mixed fairly thick. after that dried, I mixed 5 gallon batches about the thickness of paint. I dumped the bucket on the patio and used a squeegee and spread it like blacktop re-surfaceer. This worked amazingly well. It made my patio look amazing. We will see how it holds up over the winter. What a great product. Boy does it dry fast! Thanks for your videos! Very informative and very useful! I am greatfull for the time you have put in to these great how-to movies!
Thanks Frank, yep, Rapid set does dry fast, and then Portland paint it A quick old-school looking good during the summer idea, after the winter you might be disappointed, but you just do it again, I know people who do it every year, I guess it’s all the way you look at it, thanks for the comment, I appreciate it, Mike
Mike Haduck what a Legend absolutely brilliant ,well done - Graham from the England.
Thanks Graham,I appreciate it, Mike
Looking at your vids you remind me so much of my older brother, i would stand and watch him work too young to help, I learnt so much from him, just like I'm learning more tips from you.... thank you so much for putting these vids up......
Thanks Tony, mike
Mike another great video. That building you were in front of at the beginning had beautiful stone work. Thanks to your videos I have used cement all on numerous in and out jobs and i have been happy with the results. And i think i have the only one same complaint about it as you possibly. The color! If only they made it in gray. But as the old saying goes you cant have everything. Thanks again brother. God bless you Mike.
Hi Joe, thanks, true about the color, God bless also, mike
You are a real artist. I wish I had a father like you. I really love your simplicity in solving cement issues. You make this job fearless. Thank you for share your expertises. Love ❤️
Thanks Lin, Mike
Thank you .
I found this so helpful. I've managed to fixed an area in my basement with your technique.
Take it easy .
Blessings 🌱
Thanks Hope, mike
This guys putting out a lot of good information. Good work.
Mike Haddock, i learn something from every video of yours i watch, thank you, Len
Thanks Len, mike
Thank you for your help. I have been using this to repair the concrete veneer and spalled brick on my house. This product is da bomb!
Thanks Jason, Mike
Mike, I'm really learning a lot from your videos. Thanks for posting them.
Thanks Thomas, mike
Thank you for posting this and discussing your follow up experience. Makes me much more comfortable with utilizing this.
Thanks, Mike
Another highly useful video Mike. Huge thanks!
Just discovered Mike. Terrific videos. No wasted words. Just good info. Thank you, Mike. Plus you look like Harrison Ford. And that’s cool.
Thanks Noah, I appreciate it, mike
He is truly a gem & taught me how to do so much to my old fifties home. You'll be thru his videos in no time. There's hundreds but you'll want to watch everyone and then you'll watch them again and study them. I had to learn, when you have three huge retaining walls on your property you need the knowledge of what to do.
I’ve looked at lots of videos trying to make sense of the different types of cement and their uses. You sir have explained it very simply. Thank you for the great videos!
thanks Ladywood, I appreciate it. mike
You are such a great teacher. You have the patients of a SAINT! The hands blessed by you know who!
thanks Skip, If I have any talent it is only given by God for sure, thanks mike
Thank you, Mike for your video. I'm about to repair a corner of my house that's starting to fall apart. Now I know what to use to get the job done. Once again, thank you very much.
Thanks Dave, Mike
Great job Mike, as usual. I have picked up some great tips watching your videos.
Thanks Joseph, mike
When i used to mix mortar for a mason...and plaster for a plasterer i spent half my time keeping all the tools, buckets and other stuff clean in between mixes. If you dont..the next mix won't be right and you have to buy new buckets and stuff. Really pleased you touched on this point Mike...peace to ya.
Thanks Darren, mike
@@MikeHaduck 👍
Great presentation, well done. I have used it for years as a tradaeman and it really is the bees knees.
Thanks Peter, yep, saves a lot of time, thanks mike
Mike I re-watch your videos from time to time, I let so called friends stay at our house while we went to Florida for the winter, they ruined my concrete driveway with rock salt, hundreds of pits all over my three year old driveway. Now I have to resurface it. thanks again for showing me how. Gary O
Thanks Gary, mike
He has an excellent video on patching up driveway....
He used some stuff sold in specialty store for masons... forgot the name of it..
@@BlueOriginAire thank you
good job Mike. keep them coming. once again thank you for your time.
Thanks James, I appreciate it. mike
Mike I appreciate your videos as a mason ready to start my own business I am grateful for you sharing your knowledge!!
Thanks Michael, I hope it works out, one warning is , I never met a rich mason, Mike
Lol I just love doing it that's all that matters
Wow thank you I have been dreading mixing my cement all but now that I see you can mix a little bit with a sponge practically it will make it much easier. I'll just mix up a little bit at a time as needed.
Thanks, Mike
Excellent video Mike, Easy to follow, and understand your guidance. Did anyone ever tell you that you would be a an excellent subject for a modeling job. Your healthy crop of hair, good personality, and general good looks makes you a superb candidate. Thanks for being there for us you tubers.
Bruce the swimmer New Rochelle N.Y.
Thanks Bruce for the kind words, I appreciate it like
Mike Haduck is the only person I trust with masonry know-how. He's very versatile and practical as well. Thanks Mike.
thanks John, I wish all the wimmin would think that way, lol, thanks mike
Funny too! LOL
Just try it in my basement thank you your videos really helped me
Thanks talima, Mike
Prefect work. I love that Rapid set. Sticks good
Thanks, Mike
Excellent demo & encouraging teacher. Truly superb!
Thanks, mike
Always a pleasure to watch your videos
Thanks Genci, I appreciate it. mike
Hey Mike, Thanks for your effort and willingness to do these videos. You do a great job explaining and are teaching me a great deal. I recently bought a pretty big old stone home that has a lot of masonry work and with a new baby money is tight so i'm taking on the repairs myself. So far so good. I just watch your videos over and over again till i'm sure i know what i'm doing then give it a go. Starting with smaller tasks of course. This weekend i'm planning on working on my old stone wall surrounding my house. I've got a bunch of loose stones and need to repoint it. Thanks to your videos i'm confident ill do a fine job.
Thanks Paul, I appreciate that, and you are right to start small and get the feel, I would think it is like learning a musical instrument, I appreciate it. mike
@@MikeHaduck
Hello Mike,
Thanks for teaching all of us novice, and maybe even some Pros how to get the job done right, and quick.
In this video, you had two different types of cement (mortar mix and cement all mix), but, you didn't mention which product to use for which type of repair project?
Please teach us which product is best to use for which specific type of job(s)?
Also, I notice with some of your repairs you stuffed pieces of brick into the holes first before adding the cement. Were you using those pieces of bricks as support to strengthen the repair, and to stop the cement from falling out, as opposed to using rebar, tapcon screws, or some other type of masonary bolt to hold the cement in place, and to make the repair last longer?
Thanks in advance.
AJ
P.S.
I love the mud blending technique, how to blend the cement with a sponge, as well as the stucco technique with the brush!
Thank you mr. Haduck for your videos ... you give out some good information
thanks sal, I appreciate it. mike
Thank you for the clear explanations. I am an older lady who needs to make some home repairs and a simple fance. I think the rapid cement will do the trick! Small quantities are the key words as I am not athletic. I'll start to exercise with the small repair of a wall. The way you did put the cement with your hands on the bricks remainded me the way clay is used.
Hi p, sounds right , I would use traditional cement if you are not in a hurry, I use this brand for fast one day jobs thanks , Mike
@@MikeHaduck thank you for your advise, but traditional cement means a lot of kilos of sand, cement, liters of water. I really like the small quantities, it is fast. I am not athletic at all!
Hi, you could just buy a bag o the premix S mortar, Thanks Mike
This product is amazing so are you mike!
Thanks eddy, I appreciate the kind words, Mike
mike--thanks working on an old church project--your knowledge is great!-from another old guy
thanks John, I appreciate it. mike
hey Mike, not too sure if you see these old comments, but here you go anyway. I'm from the philly area i was brought up in the G.C. field. You pretty much remind me spot on how i learned. I hope there are people out there that watch you and pick up the one greatest quality a person could have, and that is Work Ethic. it's a shame that it's slowly going away. okay sorry to chew your ear, just wanted to say thank you sir for the flashbacks of the happiest and proudest days of my life. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks Steve, I get a lot of comments from guys who work in the trade or worked with their uncles , dads or neighbors, very positive comments, I appreciate it mike
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mike.
Thanks Candy, mike
Thank you for a very well explained and really informative video, some great tips and techniques
Take care and be safe
Sam
Thanks Sam, mike
I think I started watching about 9 am and now its 6 Pm and still watching lol. I'm hooked! Is there anything you can't do? I have always been interested in masonry and Free Masons and now I own 15 acres that is covered in cobblestones. So after watching your video I have endless projects for spring! Thanks so much!
After watching your videos Mike, I'm using a mix of cement all and Portland cement (for graying the cement all) to fix the cracks in my driveway. I've experimented with coloring cement all with a gray color additive and Portland cement to .reduce the whiteness of cement all. The mud paint would work too although I haven't tried it. "No big deal," Thanks for the good, outstanding videos and your desire to teach.
Thanks kurt, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
Thanks for showing all uses.
Thank you T.A. I appreciate it. mike
thank you Mike..Oscar Gallo from New Jersey....l learn this beautiful profession from my italian grand father when was a teenager ...your accent on the video remember me him... your tips in youtube... are great...
Thanks Oscar, I appreciate the kind words, Mike
This is another great video Mike, Thank you
thanks John, I was wondering about this one, I appreciate it. thanks mike
Great video and very helpful! Showcases your experience! Thanks
Thanks , mike
Sir, thank you for your videos. You truly are a salt of the earth person. You remind me of my father who was one of the most hard working men I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Please take care.
Steve :)
Thanks Steve, they are some kind words, I am just passing along what the old timers taught me, thanks, mike
Great advise to go along with the great work thanks Mike🤠👍
Thanks Yy, Mike
very useful. i use them to repair concrete before i acud stain it. i use outdoor acrylic paint to match stain color because it doesnt stain well. then i seal with appropriate sealer. great video very skilled work!
Thanks Michael, mike
Thank you for an informative and well presented video, and of course, a great job done.
Thanks Marlyn, Mike
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS Mr HADUCK.
thanks El Senor, I appreciate it. mike
Thanks again Mike you're definitely a great go-to God bless you 👍🏿
Thanks James, Mike
Mike, you are a super mason. Wish I could have hired you. I took your advice, used Mortar Mix [Quick Set]. Filled in & leveled [best I could, piece at a time] the open end & edge chipped blocks. Said blocks make up the threshold for an access door from our garage to the side yard. (Builder, ~40 yrs ago, lowered them by breaking them with a hammer to make the threshold level with garage floor. When I tried replacing the existing rotted oak threshold & door frame, found the damage). It worked out nice, thank you so much. Not as level or as nice as you'd make, but ok for an amateur like me. Thank you so much for the help, Mike. May the Lord Bless you and all your family. tonyd\.
Thanks Tony, God bless also, glad it worked out, Mike
im going to be tuckpointing my chimeny my self and fixing my stairs thank you for yoyr info.

Hi Crk, yep I consider it a find for small jobs, I use it a lot too, thanks mike
Good to see how the Pros do it! Thank you
Thanks Sherlock, it a good product for small quick jobs, thanks, Mike
I know this comment is pointless but this is exactly the video i was looking for. I’m currently trying to fix the brick everything in my girlfriends grandmas house. Her grandpa built most of it himself but has passed away a long time ago. A lot of things were unfinished and you are helping me with most of what wasn’t completed. I think what I’m trying to say is mostly everything is made out of brick back in the days lol but thank you!
Thanks Tre, Mike
Excellent video, Mike!
Thanks Paul, mike
Great info packed video, full of experience knowledge, thank you, very helpful
Thanks Henry, mike
thanks! just picked some up for my outdoor crafts! :😊 you sold me! 😃nice work btw!!! 👌
Thanks Joanne, Mike
Old school genius ,You're amazing
Thanks, Mike
Thanks so much Mike!!! You've helped me out tremendously with your vids in repairing my concrete porch. my neighbor paid over $1100 and doesn't look as good as my job! (in my opinion lol) other guys do their vids and they make it look complicated (I think to make themselves look smart!).You keep it simple and straightforward, easy to understand so that I DIY'r like me can save a few bucks and do a good looking job! Thanks for your time and effort! Much appreciated!
Thanks VInce, I appreciate it. glad when folks can save themselves some money and make it look good, mike
God bless. You post videos that are absolutely helpful!!!! Thank you 🙏
Thanks, God bless also, mike
You have taught me so much! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your experience and knowledge about masonry work. You definitely have a teacher's gift. I'll never forget, " You got to wet it first or it won't stick!"
Thanks Peter, mike
