When we had to patch up some old brickwork in our 1891 mansion we are restoring we used type N mortar and then used hot lime mortar to do the final pointing. It is an inside job so it matched the other part of the wall and shouldn't deteriorate. Thanks for the tips and tricks.

Hello from the u.k. You are the Bob Ross of builders! I’m 65 now, and served my apprenticeship as a bricklayer from age15 to 21, you mirrored my repair job on a long pub wall. I did when I was about 20, it was 50 yards long and 6 foot high and in bad shape. Took me forever, the boss used to drop me off early and pick me up at dark and the temperature was around freezing all week! Moved from that company after I served my time, looking for building Work in the local paper, and said to my dad “looks like they are taking people on to build a hospital in poland” and he said “ you know I’ve been a bricklayer all my life. And my father and grandfather, before him get out of it it’ll wreck you physically Over time” A couple of my dads cousins who were also bricklayers went over to New York, And then on to San Francisco, to get work after the earthquake. Took his advice, started work in one of your u.s. owned u.k.based car assembly Plants, warm in winter, air con in summer, retired at 55 with pension no regrets Still find the building lark fascinating, still have plenty mates that still do it.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Cyril, your right, I never met a rich mason or brick layer, and very little brickwork here anymore, everything is being premade , but there is work in repairs and restoration, it's best to get a job with government where you get paid days off and a pension, Good to hear from UK, to me that's where the best came from, thanks Mike

[@madcyril4135]

@@MikeHaduck Hello from mad Cyril in the u.k. AGAIN! I wish my dad could have seen your videos, as stated on my previous comment. He was a bricky all his life, and was born in Middlesbrough north England In 1909, missed ww2 because of key occupation, maintaining sewers. Building fortifications, bunkers, e.t.c. mainly London during the war. He worked on a large catering extension at the royal quarters Of Windsor where the queen resided, who used to show up Periodically to see how things were going on. He also worked on York cathedral, stonemasonry, he used to make Antique furniture, for my mum, we lived in an ordinary semi detached Medium sized 3 bedroom house, but he put in oak beams stone fire places and wood panelling, because my mum liked the cottage look. Spent many a meal time sitting on a stack of cement bags at the kitchen table, Always a wall coming down, doorway bricking up e.t.c. I said to him once, I can understand your bricklaying skills. And your masonry skill but where does the woodcraft Come from? In 1981 I bought a terrace house, and we both renovated it, he passed in 1991 I sold it in 2006. Were I live in north wales, within a 2 hour drive you have access to about 5 medieval forts and castles,check out Ewloe castle which is a mile away From home and Flint castle, which is 5 miles away, both North wales locations. I like the old stone work, hate to ramble but thought you would like a tale about a true craftsman like yourself. Take care.

[@garysantos7053]

Using the correct mortar is the most important thing you can do when caring for historic masonry. That’s because historic bricks are inherently soft. The mortar that cushions one brick from another needs to be softer and more permeable than the brick itself. Otherwise, the brick won’t be able to slowly flex during the normal freeze/thaw and expansion and contraction cycles of the seasons. Source: OLD HOUSE

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Gary, that's true in most cases, I did a video called " lime, mortar or portland" what should I use? Mike haduck, thanks Mike

[@garysantos7053]

@@MikeHaduck Why use lime mortar with historic brick? Lime mortar is made of burned limestone rather than ground limestone. This burning process is what gives lime mortar the properties that are required for historic masonry restoration. Lime mortar has low compression strength and high flexibility. It absorbs movement and protects the bricks from the effects of settling and expansion, and contraction. -Source: Historic Restoration Historic Brick Salvage There are many online listings of antique bricks for sale, reclaiming the tradition of American brick history. Source: Historic Bricks

[@MikeHaduck]

HI Gary, the family has been in business sense the 1940s and I been doing this over 50 years and all I do I go around fixing all the lime guys mistakes, if you want it to last you got to add Portland except for limited circumstances, lime don't hold up in our weather, I explain it all in the video I told you to watch, if you don't get it by then I can't help you, with respect Mike

[@olivermorahan779]

Portland Cement and red brick a complete no-no ? some neighbours on my terrace ( pre 1910 houses) have pointed their houses using cement and many bricks spalding and pointing breaking away now - cement does not allow for any movement -any expansion - cement traps water in the brick leaving it vulnerable to frost damage - use hydraulic lime with sharp sand - one lime to two and a half sand and forget the portland if you want any longevity . Check out some english sites to see how it ought to be done properly

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Oliver, I did a video called "lime or Portland " what should I use?, I suggest you watch it, thanks Mike

[@bowen748]

@@MikeHaduck .5 Type n masons cement, .5 lime, 3 sand.. (or so) It takes a really long lime to harden but its the best for old soft brick. Using original mortar material is important due to expansion and contraction. Portland is too strong and not necessary for 2 or 3 stories of brick. NHL 3.5 is the best option. Of course you have to repoint every couple decades.

[@working_example]

One thing I learn from Mike Haduck is mortar should be softer than the brick. Why, brick wall moves. If the joins are harder than the brick, they can't move and leave air gaps. So, don't repoint with stuff that is harder the the bricks. Thanks Mike, but I learn this a little too late.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi FaceMaul, sometimes I just build it back with portland and sand and wait and paint them if you can find a paint that matches, thanks, Mike

I use a reciprocating saw with a wood blade and I use a carbide blade to cut between the bricks that far back. Works well. The grinder is great for the initial cuts.

[@MrBrianDuga]

I’ve been trying to figure out how to approach the repair of an old chimney, built in 1910, where the bottom few rows are spawlled and crumbling. It’s in the center of a beam span where a corbel supports the weight. It used to be utilized by an oil boiler. Which bricks to remove/replace first. It’s like Jenga. Right now I am thinking starting with the top most row where the row above it isn’t deteriorating much, so the mortar can at least bond to the brick above it. Tricky stuff. I also thought maybe I could build forms and pour concrete around it to stabilize it.

I have a stone fireplace made from basalt. If I use the fireplace in the evening and let the fire go out, I have to leave the damper open all night. So much heat is lost that using the fireplace is very inefficient. I'm replacing the current screen on rods with glass doors. I'll still leave the damper open, but much less heat will be lost. The top of the opening is flat because the stones were placed on a steel beam. The sides are natural random basalt stones. This makes it very difficult to fit glass doors in the hole. I decided to try to cut the most-protruding stones to make the frame fit better. I thought basalt was too hard to cut cleanly. I bought a diamond disc for my small grinder and gave it a try. I was amazed at how well it worked! It only took a few minutes to even things up. I only modified two stones on each side. The cut surfaces were much lighter, so I rubbed mineral oil into the stone. I didn't realize until the next day that I should have put up plastic before cutting. I made a huge job for myself. Now I have to dust every surface and vacuum everything. It's going to take hours to clean up the mess! TL;DR Cutting stone with a diamond disc is very dusty.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Brian, I hear you, I been there, thanks Mike

[@bowen748]

Lime does hold up. It can be repaired. You can't rake out portland joints like you can lime. I can see this wall was repointed once before it was stuccoed. You can see that the spalling bricks have different mortar surrounding them. It was repointed with stronger mortar than the brick and the stronger mortar popped off the faces over years of expanding and contracting. Use .5 lime, .5 masons cement, 3 sand.

[@MikeHaduck]

In addition to this, I want to seal the brick when I'm done with something preferably that I can put in a sprayer like you use. Do you recommend me doing that an what would you use.
