No Big Deal ! I’ve watched enough of Mikes videos so now I’m saying this . I look at issues differently .

Thanks Doug, Mike

Angleing the rebar is Nobel Prize worthy.

Thanks K O, Mike

Very helpful detailed discussion about thermal expansion between masonry and steel. I've seen a lot of the local buildings and homes with this problem and was never certain of what might work best aside from a steel support added Mike. Thank you again.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, mike

[@srirampandrangi]

I don't know why but I simply enjoy your videos alot .

thanks Henry, mike

[@alexchee8721]

I like your works, especially when you said " just like that,no big deal", this is the words of an experienced worker who knows alot of the tricks and skills, just with ordinary tools, thanks Mike.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Alex, I appreciate that, Mike

[@BrentDarlington]

I see a lot of old shops and garages with the same issue. Looks like a pretty good fix.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Brent,, mike

He's fearless. Thanks Mike ... don't know how I missed this vid watching with my other utube account ... learned a ton! hope your week is going great .. here in MN we are finally thawing out and sidewalks are sinking into the wet ground like cement pads do! Cheers!

This is a great case where Haduck's fundamental understanding of all the key issues come together to produce a solution.

Top shelf Mike. Besides your ease of the actual Gods free mason builder, your rhetoric/lyrics means so much. You are a great preacher. God bless you once again from my tiny camp. Bravo. Thank you so much. 🙏🙏✍️✍️

Nice structural work! Thank you.

Thanks Ray, Mike

[@rickw4160]

dont need no stinkin 2 part rebar injection! Great technique, the rebar actually gets harder to pull out as the weight of the blocks and beam presses on top. I finally figured out why you needed some fill in the back side, it supports the cinder block side of rebar from breaking out. brilliant !!!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, mike

You are the coolest Mike. Would have been an honor to work with you!

Thanks C, Mike

[@LukeCapasso]

I've been watching you for awhile. Have you ever had a task that was a big deal?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Luke, to be honest if something is too big or impossible or a future problem that will come back at me , I got to tell them the truth and say no, won't do the job, thanks Mike

Thanks, mike

[@docmuj382]

What if the cinder block is hollow you didn’t mention what you would put in would then be good for reinforcing a garage wall?

[@MikeHaduck]

Every situation is different but I would probably fill it with cement, thanksmike

[@MMGJ10]

Nothing wrong with the way Mike did it and what he did will work perfectly fine, but i always use hollow core block, then drill into the floor and get two rods coming up and fill it solid as I go. I pin it into the existing block the same way though, with angling the rebar except I drill half inch holes and pound in half inch rebar tightly. (Inspectors will make you use an epoxy to glue it in. Not a bad idea but not really necessary... don't tell them that though lol) Fill everything solid and pin it in every other course and it'll never go anywhere.

[@ishowyouapple]

What would you do up top where it meets the steel beam?

[@dukeman7595]

Inspectors? We don't want no stinking inspectors..

[@MMGJ10]

@@ishowyouapple You can just lay a solid block on the top course. Grout and fill everything up to that point.

[@MMGJ10]

@@ishowyouapple Or, in this case, since the beam is only over one cell of the block you could cut the middle web out of the block, and grout the whole top block. That way you could get a short piece of rebar down from the top tying the top block into everything underneath. If you get what i'm saying.

[@MMGJ10]

@@dukeman7595 Damn right lol

[@westside98]

Any use of a temp support shoring post ?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, No , I didnt see any need in this case, thanks, Mike

[@MrBigtime1986]

what type of pins wold you have used if the blocks were hollow ?

[@MikeHaduck]

Same thing, I just would have been filling the blocks solid with cement, thanks mike

[@AustinWilhite]

@@MikeHaduck Would you break the face of the blocks to fill with cement?

[@MikeHaduck]

@@AustinWilhite no, I dont see what good that would do, mason wall like that are not strong sideways, only up and down , I don't see a reason for that in this case

[@AustinWilhite]

@@MikeHaduck How would you pin to a hollow block wall that does not have access from above to fill the cores with cement? Or would you just not pin the two together in that case?

[@jumanji70]

Why didn't you wet the bottom before the first brick? Just wondering when to use water and when not too.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi karate, I did a video called" should I wet it first, mike haduck, " that should answer s lot of your questions, thanks mike

[@RichieD_21]

What about the foundation? Wouldnt you have to cut the slab and make a deeper base for the post so the slab doesnt just crack?

[@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd]

Mike H never says his is the only, or even the best way. Just what works for him, in his locale, in his experience. ... Part of what makes him special, a KZbinr who isn't an egomaniac

[@MMGJ10]

Come back in 50 years and you'll see that still standing perfectly fine.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Richey, it just a safety thing and if the floor hasn't sunk in 50 years I can't see it having a problem, thanks Mike

[@RichieD_21]

Hopefully wont make a difference. Having to cut up that slab and put in a footer for the post wouldve made the job alot more expensive and labor intensive so if you think you could get away without it then more power to you. Love your videos Mike, youre the man!

Will you use those recently developed recycled plastic concrete blocks? Read an article this morning.

Hi Gypsy, I am not aware of that product yet, thanks, Mike

Different materials but I do the same thing around chimney flues so the poured concrete cap doesn't touch the Terracotta

Hi Robert. I have especially in the Mediterranean area, thanks mike

[@josecanisales3491]

Mike, how come you didn't WET the cement floor and the wall first?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Jose, I did a called " should I wet it first"? That should help, mike

[@ishowyouapple]

Maybe you could make a video on how you decide what mix to use. (bag mix, your own mix, or rapid set)

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi MG, that's a hard call because every job is different, so I just show what I used on that job, and a lot of jobs you could interchange, thanks Mike

[@ishowyouapple]

Mike Haduck Masonry right on

[@konakaffe]

Hey Mike, if there was paint on the existing pilaster, would your mortar stick to it, or would you need to strip it clean?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Denny, I would say that masonry does not stick to paint, but in this case I does not have too the pins are holding it in thanks Mikey

[@CeigeNUT]

Was that 1/2'' or 3/8'' rebar? Looks like 3/8''. Just curious, thanks!

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi C I think it was 1/2 inch, thanks Mike

[@orlandogarcia5398]

I have a question... what’s the difference between a pier and a pilaster?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, I think a pier more or less stands alone, depending on where your from you might get different answers, I'd look it up on google, thanks mike

[@orlandogarcia5398]

I’m in Michigan - I googled it but, I can’t seem to find a correct answer I get different explanations on every website

Thanks for the video Mike great content as always how mutch do you think steel expands when hot wood it be as mutch as have inch ?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi mark, I am thinking 1/8, maybe 1/4 just enough to crack the cement thanks, mike

[@shanek6582]

Seems like they should have welded a couple vertical I-beams instead of block.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Shane. I was probably a lot cheaper, and it works, thanks mike

[@MMGJ10]

Meh, that beam has probably been there since the 60's and wasn't really going anywhere anyway. It certainly won't now. The block was all that was needed

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍

[@roywest6557]

Mike , you forgot to wet it.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Roy, not for this, I have a video out called, should I wet it first, Mike haduck, thanks, Mike

[@BillLowenburg]

A common sense solution, once again. No need to go crazy with it. Why do something expensive like weld in an additional I beam when the block will do the job for much cheaper? I agree with the fellow who said this job is strenuous - I wouldn’t want to carry that block up the ladder then go back down for mortar. Good thing you only had to build one of them!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Bill, I agree, mike
