MASONRY WALL REPAIR (Part 5) Mike Haduck

[@victoryfirst2878]

Shame the builder of old did not know about stainless steel metal. This material will outlast the building itself. Nice video and thanks for the lessons learned from you Sir.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks victory, Mike

[@canadianmarauder1923]

I been watching a bunch of your videos lately Mike. I just retired and was always fascinated with mason work. You’ve given me the knowledge and with that came the courage to tackle some house foundation repairs. Very appreciative. God bless

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Marauder, God bless also, mike

[@Hugomartinez1982]

Great video as always Mike, also I’ve been breaking out of prison since 1982 thanks to mikes easy to follow tutorial. Highly recommended

Thanks, I am glad for that, mike

[@Richard-qs8dn]

I just loved the fact that you did the job from the bed of your Chevy. Wouldn't matter if you were standing on your head. You would still do a better job than just about anyone else. In my book. Take care Sir.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Richard, no trophy, but for patch job not bad, thanks , mike

[@MrGojo1955]

Thanks for another great video Mike. This is why we order extra material on our jobs and leave it there in storage for future repairs. You can't just find the same material to do repairs to a job done 20 years ago. Best wishes and seasons greetings! Gord J.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Gord, I agree, happy holidays, mike

[@cdbflynow]

Nice fix Mike. If I were the owner I would have wanted something done to the chipped corner next to the repair. Paul

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Paul, he just wanted the big think done there was lots of that around the building where I would have to bondo and paint if it was serious, thanks mike

[@wcsd9577]

One time a few years ago we needed a couple old bricks on the front of a building and they were the kind you simply couldn't buy for the last 80 years, so we cut a couple out of the back and put them in the front. The back got something "close" as a replacement. Better to have the front look nice and uniform.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi WCSD, I would say that's experience, you know your stuff, good move, thanks Mike

[@FishFind3000]

Guess that angle iron is only really good for the initial build so it holds the block until it sets.

[@MikeHaduck]

I would say that's the standard way of building, not meant to last a hundred years. Thanks mike

[@roccoconte2960]

When i built my house i had the lintels dipped in galvanized paint .in 1988 there still in great shape althought not buried in wall just over windows and doors great job Mike another nice fix keep the videos coming.

Thanks for the video Mike! Been following you for a while and your vids have been a great help - I repointed my stone foundation (1820's house), rebuilt some brick work and rebuilt the flagstone steps on our house this year - wouldn't have even attempted it without seeing your vids first. thanks again

Great repair Mike. For some reason a lot of the smaller US Post Offices in this area are faced with the same smooth brownish tile block. It's easy to clean and tough to fix.

[@MichaelAlperstein]

I've learned so much from your channel and I appreciate your generosity with sharing these skills. A question: I'm doing a little patch up job on the outside of a foundation. Is there a simple way to make mortar waterproof or at least more water resistant? I'm kind of a small guy and there are a lot of stairs to climb, so honestly 50 lb bags are difficult for me to carry. I've been using the 25 lb box of Rapid set mortar. This works pretty well but I'm wondering if I mix a little Cement All with the Rapid set Mortar if that makes it more waterproof? Or maybe I could put the Mortar on first and then a thin slurry of something else? It doesn't have to last forever but if I can make it withstand the elements a little better that would be great. Is there a simple way (with 25 lb boxes or some other product) to make it more waterproof? Thanks. - Michael

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Michael, I never seen a waterproof cement, usually I end up painting the steps with a deck stucco paint or Portland some people use a sealer but in winter it could be slippery, thanks mike

[@MichaelAlperstein]

@@MikeHaduck ok, Thanks!

[@Grassy20]

What if the metal is embedded in a retaining wall? We have to use rebar for code. Will the rebar be ok as long as we don't expose it to the outside of the wall?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Grassy, if the inspector says put it in you dont have a choice, I doubt if you get anything in writing unless he approved the plans, thanks mike

[@Mrdealornodeal618]

Wait, so some people believe in using rebar but you're hands on out here and not necessarily condoning it? I'm a traditional man that don't necessarily have to go Modern if the traditional still works. I really enjoy your videos.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Will, Mike

[@cheshstyles]

Did you use rapid set because the tile won't take up water from the mortar?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, no, just because it was a fast small patch, thanks Mike

[@Loonypapa]

The replacement blocks are actually available, size 8W62. Correct name for that style of block is structural glazed tile.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, mike

[@carrietaylor151]

Hey Mike do you think natural stone cladding is a good idea for interior hearth 1/2 wall for a 100 year old house. I'm worried about the weight and floor joice support.

[@mrfranciscojuarez187]

Nice patch job. The color of the mortar joints matched, so it's hard to tell it's a patch. Please keep making videos, they are really helpful.

[@mikejustice1196]

The mortar is not dry so there’s no way of telling if it matched. It’s a patch so who cares right?

You didn’t have any margin of error with only two blocks to work with. I bet if you had more blocks you would have cut that one down with the hammer?

Hi Jim I might have, Mike

[@borys444]

I love ur work mike and I know the owner only wants to do what he has to do in order to get by but that chipped block face is bothersome. I couldn’t let that go, it really takes away from the work u actually did during the repair.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Nich, true, but theres lotsof those around the building, I got to go back someday bondo and paint them up , thanks mike

[@DBLG65]

If I owned the building, the OCD in me would've fixed that little crack.

DBLG65 what's with you internet guys and your ocd?

[@MikeHaduck]

I don't know maybe from my experiences overseas in the service, keeps my mind off it, thanks mike

[@JerryAndSherry]

OK. Just need to tear the building down and rebuild with a new available tile material to have full coverage without flaws. But if your OCD is serious about fixing it, I guess you gotta do that. Look at Mike's jacket! Use your OCD energy to send him some gorilla tape to fix that seam first. It's a much bigger crack, and you should work in order from biggest problem to smallest like that.
