MASONRY WALL REPAIR (Part 3) Mike Haduck

[@danstiurca7963]

Mike never half-ass any job; he always full assess all jobs. In this case, his "patch" is actually rebuilding an entire wall. Nice.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

I can’t stop watching 👍🏻

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks , Mike

[@TraceysTripping]

I know right! I love watching this guy work. It's no-nonsense for him 🤭

Really enjoy your "cheap fixes" tutorials! You always give me ideas!

Thanks Linda, mike

[@setandcentered]

Good video again Mike, plus a thoughtful proverb. I won't forget the first one I saw you mention: "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another". Thank you!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks set, people been requesting them, I am happy about that, Mike

[@DaveSender66]

I helped a buddy of mine the other day do a block patch job. I remember your Infamous line " if you want to stick you better wet it". The job turned out great everybody was happy. It was no big deal we just made it work. Thanks Mike and happy New Year!!!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Dave, that's great, happy new year also, mike

Always feels good when you can salvage some old block. I have some from way back 1940s. You should see the style of these old babies.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

[@speedracer2336]

Mike is a master! Know these are hard to make. At least one a week if only a short one? Thanks brother for keeping me entertained and informed? Old school Mike is my favorite site to visit.

Nice work Mike, my back hurts just watching you!

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Riven, mine too, lol, mike

[@mikeysback70]

Aint nothin to it but to do it! Good job Mr Mike.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks mikey, mike

[@robviolin1]

A cheap fix by a master mason person. Bravo 👏

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks rob, Mike

[@Xxjoeynumber1xX]

You've got it right with the patch jobs you do. Too many masons around here either want to tear too much out or tear it all the way down to make it perfect. When the truth is 99% of people don't know what they're looking at in masonry work. They just don't want holes in the walls. Just get it in there and get the money. Helped me out alot on weekend side jobs just getting in and out. "Rough but strong"

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Dylan, I appreciate it, mike

[@rafaelparedes9189]

good job mr mike

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Rafael, mike

[@Brian-Burke]

Nicely done, Mike. Have a great weekend.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Brian, Mike

[@55098]

Super nice work Mike

[@jimcramer9696]

These patch type videos you do are some of my favorite. I think because you have to be a little bit of an artist and a bit engineer.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Jim, I noticed that, so i started to do more, thanks mike

[@rafaelpichardo215]

Mike, what is the difference between the different types of cinder blocks? Could you do a video on that?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Rafael, the old cinder blocks were made from the remains of coal power plants but they never held up well now they are made of concrete, thanks Mike

[@antoniov4152]

Love your work mike , great work like always

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks ultra, mike

[@richardmckrell4899]

My grandfather was a brick layer and built a block storage shed in his yard. I always liked that shed.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Richard, mike

[@brianmoore5498]

this is an example of the skills that built this country. and the guys that did it like mike, made it look easy! lots of headwork you dont see too

[@briopainters4633]

Hi Mike. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us mere mortals of masonry :) Do you have any tips or could you possibly make a video explaining how you would go about repairing rough faced fluted CMU blocks that have pieces of the face broken off? I hope that question makes sense, if not I can send you a picture of what I mean. Thank you!!

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Brio, check out my videos on foundation repair, sometimes it is best to patch it up, paint it or plaster the whole section, thanks mike

[@delbass6723]

@@MikeHaduck So I can just patch it using portland/sand mix and use a sponge once it is half dry or so to imitate the rough, split face texture? Thank you again!

[@gac107]

Thx for telling it like it is...

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks gac, mike

[@Traderjoe]

It looks like a pool heater hut. Maybe they either thought wood might go on fire or the block might muffle the noise?

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Joe, that's what it was, mike

[@farmboy30117]

That “patch” will outlast the rest of that building. Question is why did it fail in the first place?

[@86irisheyes]

farmboy30117 because it was a shat patch

[@ishowyouapple]

They used cement thinking it’d do the job

[@bonanzatime]

Those look like settlement cracks. Probably there is no footer, or if there is it's not deep enough in the ground to withstand freeze-thaw.. Or something must have hit it, because it's just that side of the building. maybe a small loader or backhoe bumped it?.

[@bkucinschi]

@@bonanzatime : my guess is they had no footer.

[@alanaldpal950]

For such a small structure I would have considered taking the top two courses of block off stuffed each cell with a stick of rebar and then filled the cells with rebar then reinstall the top two courses with lateral rebar. Cosmetically may not come out perfect but should bombproof it from any further separation ?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Alan, I wanted them to rip it down but I was forced to do it that way because of all the work I did for them before, thanks Mike

[@robertcerrone1]

Nice work Mike. In the swimming pool business we refer to structure around filtration systems like that as, Hanoi Hiltons.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Rob, I was in the service during that era, I know what your talking about, thanks mike

[@georgevalente4223]

How many days or hours did it require including purchasing material?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi George, I forget, I might of tore it down first then went for materials, I think I was short a few block , had to go again, I figure a couple days for something like that if I was to bid it, but it always seems to be for a relative or friend, thanks Mike

[@FAFOSanders]

Good thing it was not made of cinder block 🧱 Another fine repair using durawall was a fantastic idea 💡 Mike

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Re, Mike

[@AngelRodriguez-s9j]

If you don’t paint. How do you get the extra cement off looking clean ?

[@MikeHaduck]

They make a masonry paint, best guy to ask is those at the paint stores, thanks Mike

[@lendavidhart9710]

On a tractor repair shop wall some where in the midwest, a poster on the wall read.... You can have.... A cheap, quick job, but it won't be good. A good, cheap job, but it won't quick. A quick, good job, but it won't be cheap

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Len. I got to use that one, lol. Mike

[@lendavidhart9710]

Mike Hadock, i got that out of a little paperback monthly magazine, called The Farmers Digest, years and years ago... it might be still around.

[@robertcerrone1]

In the pool business we would refer to a building like that as a "Hanoi Hilton"

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Rob, scary but true, mike

[@johnenright4969]

Hey Mike that's a Hayward vacuum pump, probably for a municipal sewer system? Hello from central New Hampshire!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks John, mike

[@fritzkuhne2055]

where ist the break out of prison vid? did not find it

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Fritz, I think the feds blocked it, lol. Mike

[@yopage]

Those blocks look thin, 6" thick? Most blocks down south here are 8". Were these blocks originally laid on the dirt?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi yopa, no they were laid on a concrete pad, but I agree about using 8s, mike

[@borys444]

Why do some walls get steel wire and some don’t? I watched a video on a whole house foundation getting blocked up and didn’t see anyone use that particular wire? Or maybe they did but just didn’t show it?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Nich, first time I ever seen it was late 70s, now I think it is code every 3rd course, thanks mike

[@takashi123h]

Great video

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Madara, mike

[@bonanzatime]

I bet that mortar was masonry-cement with too much air in it; that's why it didn't stick to the block. That ready-mix cement made by Quikrete that you used to rebuild it is a portland-lime cement and will stick much better.👍.. I used to work in a cement lab, I know these things. ..... it's got to be really bad mortar not to stick to cmu (which is essentially is portland cement too).

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi bonanz, you know I get a lot of questions on the cement, and I did a video called Should I wet it first, but it has to be wet to stick properly, and mortar don't hold up in my area, I want to do another video on what cement should I use,? because there is a ton of controversy over it, but I found working in all these different states not two masons agree unless they are local to each other, thanks, mike

[@bonanzatime]

@@MikeHaduck I hear ya, brother..☺ Have a Prosperous and Healthy 2020!👍

[@test40323]

So...what’s the tip for prison break? Wait for the ground to shift?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi test, you got to watch the video, lol. Mike

[@AStanton1966]

I'm thinking they stuck with block because they didn't want anything to catch fire from that gas heater.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi AStanton,, I wanted them to rip it down but that's what they wanted, thanks Mike

[@pensive69]

I'd rather build a utility shed for any with machinery inside out of blocks. One issue may have been a lack of extra ventilation. The shed has utilities feeding it. I'm thinking heat and moisture resulted. Then there is the concern about foundation. Mike mentioned he patched it before. And it's sited on a sloped location. Really like his use of durawall to reinforce the courses.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

[@T3hJones]

Nothing wrong with cheap fixes!

[@MikeHaduck]

HI T3h, as long as it works, thanks mike

[@RichieD_21]

Why not just fill the cracks with cement?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Richie. It needed more than that, thanks mike

[@PsychoAxeMan]

I wont stick if you dont wet it.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Psycho. Not to worry on this job. Thanks mike

[@doonhilla]

I searched your channel for the video "Breaking out of prison for beginners" and couldn't find it? I could kinda do with watching it soon, but in all seriousness.....................................................................yeah i really need to see that video.

I think the government blocked it , where is my freedom of expression? Lol. Mike

[@davelowe1977]

No footings.

[@dukeman7595]

I think a good coat of concrete spread over that repair might help, however, I guess they just wanted it patched up.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Joseph, yep just a patch, mike

[@lastresort1460]

a footing would make it last....you will have to do this every couple of years..

Hi, it was built on a floating slab, which is mostly the way they build all the florida houses, thanks Mike
