BRICK WALL REPAIR (Mike Haduck)

[@stargateproductions]

I love the old school brickwork, theres a reason this stuff lasts so long! Great video

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

[@superiorbeing95]

Here in the UK it's not old school, we nearly all live in brick built houses and they build em like that, mine is 140 years old and still going strong.

[@raymarshall5878]

The ending of this video was the BEST! Fake brick, fake stone, fake news...LOL Classic..Love Mike's vids

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Ray, mike

[@ishowyouapple]

If I say “it’s no big deal” frequently, it makes any problem I have “no big deal”.Then life gets easier! Thanks Mike.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks MG, very true, lol, mike

[@TheHarrisonBoys]

It’s quite soothing actually lol

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks again. Very true, lol, Mike

[@pistool1]

Who noticed the orange supreme masonry site inspector staring relentlessly at 14:49 (top right corner)? :)

[@skitzochik]

That's funny cause when I say "no big deal", I'm instantly aware that the deal is quite huge

[@johnrodebaugh7120]

Hey Mike, I layed a lot of brick in my time and the way you matched up the mortar at the end is priceless! I never thought of that, thanks for teaching an old dog a new trick. Ha!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks John, I bet I could learn a lot from you, thanks mike

[@MrCAcompora]

Mike, I am going to use this same idea to match mortar joints on a veneer stone cover over cinder block for my pizza oven base, I was too “busy” to go to the yard and get another bag of cement, so I added some left over high temp mortar and it brightened up like a tooth whitening commercial. I made the oven for fun, used knowledgeI learned from your channel along the way, and made my biggest screw up trying to cut a corner on time before going into work. Pays to take your time and do it right. Thanks for the knowledge you are passing on. I am in CNY and due to the weather here, I put a huge rubber tarp over my oven last winter. I didn’t add more Portland to the type S I got at the time (I had not seen that in one of your videos yet) so I just keep water off as best I can in the freezing temp time of year. Thanks again, love watching your stuff.

[@brikkijim]

Another way to accomplish that is grind out joints then point . It will last and match.

[@AROD500500]

GM Mr. Mike, Love your real brick work, I'm an old school guy from the Bronx.. I live in Florida where every repair is fake the easy way out. I repair everything myself the right way. I learned masonry from my Italian neighbor on the weekends. His dad was a retired Brick Layer and that knowledge was very handy to me. I learned some more from your videos too. I'm tackling on laying down pavers on a small backyard.. I'll check out your videos on pavers. This rain is killing my progress here in Orlando.. looking to move back up North we miss the 4 seasons. I'm no Snow Bird. I'm a retired Aircraft Mechanic.. we worked in every type of weather too. Thanks for your videos Mr. Mike..! Stay Safe..!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Alberto, I got to get out of the snow. Lol, Mike

[@gorillaswithbeards7411]

I have learned so much from watching your videos Mr. Haduck, thank you. A real craftsman and man with honest advice . Much appreciated, keep them videos coming. Also, how about some more chimney videos? Or maybe building it from top to bottom? Thanks

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, I can't lift those chimney block no more, lol, but those days are gone, everything is stainless steel, thanks mike

When it comes to masonry Mike, you're no fake. You are authentic.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Al, I appreciate the kind words, Mike

[@dennisryan7487]

Good Video Mike ! Been A public Works Inspector for 40+ years. The Last time I had a good mason on one of my jobs was 35 years ago. He was building a manhole so deep that the bottom had to have 4 rows of brick to support the upper. He was a craftsman , and a pleasure to watch him work. Now its all precast, with bottoms poured concrete against undisturbed earth. Stay safe, the best for you and your family. PS, that manhole is probably still in better shape today, than any precast installed at the same time.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Dennis, I appreciate it, mike

[@robertmaimone8733]

Nothing fake about you, Mike you're the cement man, God Bless you, and thanks again.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Robert, God bless also, mike

[@adampark6889]

Your videos are just the best Mike. We build alot of chimneys on Cape Cod and I often wonder if there would be better profit in going the restoration route. Especially for so much less labor and headache. Of course everything has it's pros and cons. By the way, the matching the old mortar joints to the new, GENIUS! Thanks Mike

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Adam, all the new masonry chimneys have disappeared, everything has gone to stainless steel , lots of repair work work though, yea I picked up that trick from the old timers, thanks mike

[@sigmalady77]

I learn a lot from you Mike. I am a tradeswoman living in Indiana and like to know the basics about all trades. You are an excellent instructor because you give the why and how to do a job. Thank you

Hola Mike from Houston Tx. It is a big deal when I watch u work I am amazed at what you do. No big deal is when I weld a used Quarter section to a car you are good at figuring things out I could never do in your trade. Love your videos.

[@jericlocke1]

We can't do the mud trick...because we can't. My Aunt's brick arches around garage doors were falling out after steel letils rusted and popped mortar out. I thought they used white mortar so I sourced some, not easy here in Huntingdon County PA like finding lime. I had to get that back home in Bucks County. Anyway, she didnt seem to mind the color mismatch of the caulk I pealed out that my late uncle used to hold the bricks up for 10 years but, she did mind my mix being too white. Turns out the original mix was black and the minerals leeching through gave it a white exterior layer after years. I mixed up regular mortar into a paint I learned from you and she was happy. Thanks Mike.

Mike I had seen this video a few months ago and liked it a lot. We mostly do flatwork and concrete here but last month I took on a small brick job for a local family. Everything you said about the bumps in the road when working with bricks is true. The owner and I had to go through the ones he bought to find maybe half the pallet that matched, were the same size, and weren't bent or cracked in the kiln. I think the industry tends to be it's own worst enemy.

[@MikeHaduck]

Very true pensive, I agree, mike

[@dustincheckley9388]

I have been watching your videos for a couple years mike. Just amazing to watch your years of knowledge and sharing it with the world. Always wanted to be a mason and learn the trade , but was always too busy with farming the land with my family , my ancestors were all mason builders, watching your videos seems to take away the itch for it. Thanks for posting !!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Dustin, mike

[@scottrobinson2286]

Great video Mike,I like watching your videos,I've been a mason over 25 years here in Iowa.I do alot of repairs also,with old buildings ,new construction,cutting alot of new openings.

[@mikeysback70]

Mike, I've got a similar job in a couple of days ,but it's gonna be a wall about 7' tall toothed out on one end , 4 or 5 brick and up the side of a door jam. I'm also going to be laying those old solid brick that doesn't soak up water good at all. I will be taking a kerosene heater with me to put on the wall to help it dry so I can joint it. I'm expecting the temp to be around 55 degrees,so I will be mixing it dry too. I'm SO GLAD to see someone else that uses the middle hole in the wall tie as nailing in the top one wont help at all if the wall starts to fall.God bless.

Hey Mike, I know this is one of your older videos, but we're still doing it old school here in southern Minnesota. We just did a split a few months ago with 5 courses of 12's with 4 more of 6's to make a brick ledge. None of that faux brick here, just the real deal. It was a treat for my boss who did brick for years before doing block basements solely as a business

Hey Mike love your channel,I’m a retired Mason in Jersey I worked for a contractor during the day for 8hrs then did side jobs until Dark where I did jobs exactly like this brick repair cause 3 or 4 hrs and you are done and then I bigger side jobs on Sat sometimes Sundays, I think I made more money and had happier customers from the little jobs! Like this job you did here what did you need a bag of mortar mix and a couple of bricks? Then you can give a reasonable price,the customer is happy and they will keep you in mind if they have more work or if a neighbor or friend needs work, I’m like you never advertised,word of mouth got me the most work( my was a mason and I worked with like you worked with your dad,and my always said “Treat every job like it’s a Billboard advertising your work” this worked great for me, I miss doing the and meeting the people.

I also have a repair of an exterior wall ahead of me. Have little knowledge about it but this was very informative. Makes me feel like I can do this! Here’s to a new fixed wall. Some guy wants $1200 to take 2 1/2 layers down and use same bricks to put it back up! YIKES! That’s a lot of money for 2 1/2 layers. I’ll try it myself. Thanks for your videos.

[@JL-il6vk]

@@MikeHaduck Mike, I’m going to give fixing my outside all myself. You have given me enough ammunition to give it a try. It’s a free standing wall that after 45-50 years is leaning. I think with the right stuff I could do it myself rather than pay the $1200 to a stranger! He just want’s to take 2 1/2 layers of brick down and put the same brick back up! I also love your tip about painting the old mortar when done! Makes a great solution to the problem! Thanks for the tip!!

[@Piterworkshop]

Hi Mike. I am one of your followers and almost everything I know about construction I know thanks to you. In this video I notice a little frustration on your part about everything false that surrounds us, the walls, the stones, the news ... The same thing happens to me and it is not because I am building a house with stone and tree trunks by beams, but because I see that mediocrity and the haggling of effort have established themselves among us as normal. In my opinion it is a losing battle, a bit like the gradual disappearance of gasoline engines and their replacement by electric vehicles that seem to get electricity from magic. It only remains to be thankful that we have enjoyed (and continue to do so) long motorcycle trips to nowhere with oil leaks and mechanical problems that could be fixed with a hammer, screwdriver and some adhesive tape. Times change and trying to stop them is like trying to stop the tide. They are not worse, they are different. Great videos and great reflections of a great kind. Thank you very much for sharing it all. A big greeting from Spain.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, I appreciate hearing that from a professional, Mike

[@juligrlee556]

Last summer I walked through Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards. to look at bricks. There were many types of bricks. I asked a old bricklayer about recycling bricks. His answer was that most bricks in existing buildings are not standard common bricks and therefore not worth recycling. I also saw lots of "bricks" that were not made of baked clay but of colored concrete. I would like to build a outdoor grill with bricks in my back yard but who knows what kind of bricks will stand up to the elements of the changing temperatures as well the heat of wood fires. We all need to know a whole lot more about bricks themselves. I've traveled in Central America, lots of brick layer professionals there. Many people make their own cement blocks and it is amazing the work they do with sticks and mortar. I'm always amazed.

[@cdoublejj]

people pull bricks form old buildings all the time and apparently they worth $$$. totally can re uses the old school burgundy baked clay bricks! you can also FEEL the difference with old vs new depending on the TYPE of brick. i've felt some old baked clays that have sheen and are VERY dense in material and mass and weight.

Good video. Good tips. So basically the type S cement is used to do the mortar when lying bricks or cement block and is not suitable to do the fixes you did with the cement all ( church steps) or mortar mix (windows) and patching up wall to look like stucco? Need to do some overhead repair on a window sill....I think they recommend the rapid set mortar mix?

Mike did you and the owner discuss the issues of water on the top surface of that brick "hip wall" as I'd term it? Except for a maybe 1 inch side flashing on top the surface was originally laid horizontal and exposed to the rains. I'd be inclined to suggest a full flashing on the top of the bricks so their surfaces and joints are protected. I haven't fixed homes with this feature in my area but it seems prominent in your video example.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi pensive, I just did the brick fix the carpenter came back and took care of it, thanks, mike
