a long time ago, and maybe before you were a kid, i watched local bricklayers build. they all used story poles. none of them were really conversant in English but the crews measured and marked with strings, lines, and poles. most of what they marked was in Italian. the built wonderful reliable and correctly dimensioned buildings and homes. i'm a supporter of those story poles you show and use Mike. Bring on part 2 and 3.

I just want to say thanks. I had some construction experience from when I was a kid but only limited block experience. I had a section of my basement wall that was buckling and with your videos and a little practice I was confident enough to take on the project. I had to restart a couple of times but got the hang of it pretty quickly. These videos took a lot of the mystery out of getting the job done properly. Cheers!

Helped me know what questions to ask about how they propose to construct it (only 5/6 courses high) but still. Also helped eliminate one someone recommended but said I only needed to lay the bottom course level on the ground. Appreciate the education very much.

This is better than television, Mike im a heating engineer in the uk, and because work goes quiet in the summer, I turn my hand to other jobs, kitchens bathrooms etc, but I have done some building work lately to great success, I took instruction from your videos, the story pole was fantastic and allowed me to match up to the existing building, I never noticed before just how random some brickwork is and you can spoil a job if your new brickwork is to uniformed, I layed it out dry, as I do when I tile so that makes great sense to me, I wish you could see my first attempt (success) should I say. I could work with you any day, look after yourself and your future ex wife... All the best from Coventry uk

Hi Mike My dad did layout similar to yours but when he could keep a bedjoint tight so he wouldn't have to hold the block up. He could lay block faster and use a little looser mortar. I was where you are so many times I can't remember ! Also learned to use a brickhammer never had a saw ! Love your videos ! I use lightweight block as much as I can now they cost more but I think my back is worth it!

.......not as critical to below grade block work as finished brickwork but we take care as to not "push the line". Leaving a little light in between the finished block and the line prevents "bowing" the wall. A little push here and a little push there walks the units out. Over a longer distance it is noticeable. This man Mike knows his trade and knows it well. Very good video.

I was gonna say looked like you struggled with your back with the blocks. - They are heavy. I've watched all your videos it is amazing info. I even dared to block up my window opening after watching your videos. Buuut I messed up, turned out I made a soup of the mix, and I used all the cement so could'nt add any more cement, learned from that never use the whole bag.( or don't add too much water). But I layed it up dry and made a new mix the next day and it turned out good. - Love Your videos.

Hi mike, as always, your videos are a wealth of knowledge. I have a question I hope you can provide clarity on. The required finished elevation for the top of my 3 wide block wall is not a nominal measurement (IE: 72" to the top of the block), it's 70 3/4". I am wondering if the best approach would be do as you did in this video and just remove 1 1/4" of material from the bottom 3 courses of blocks and work my way up, or alternatively to make all the bed joints a 1/4" thick as opposed to the standard 3/8" thick joint.

Thank you Mike for passing on your knowledge and tips! I learned so much from watching your videos. I do have one question. When you marked your story pole, you marked at 8 inch for each block, adding up in total 56 inches for 7 block courses. Is there any gap between each block due to the layer of wet mortar laid between them? Should the height of 7 course blocks be slightly greater than 56 inches? This same question applies to horizontal length of a block wall as well. For example, for a wall of 20 blocks, would the length of the wall be 160 inches, or slightly longer than 160 inches? Thank you!
@MikeHaduck
@MikeHaduck 5 жыл бұрын
Hi yougoog, the blocks are automatically made shorter so that with the mortar joint it adds up to a full 8 inches, sometimes you got to make the joints bigger or smaller to reach height, best thing is to lay them out dry on a board and then you know for sure, I hope it helps thanks, mike

Hi Mike, if I pour a slab, I don't need footers? I have a cinder block & cement porch. I want to add on to it. (More length away from the house.) Is that possible? And do I need footers? It's about 3 feet high. I want to add like a few feet because it barely fits 2 chairs and there's no rail--not that WE ever fell off it 😂--for future resale. Or is something like that not really diy?

Mr. Haduck, when you laid out your story pole for seven courses (56" total), wouldn't you have to account for the 3/8" mortar joints per course too? So, are you measuring on the story pole 8.375" instead of just 8"? This would total 58 5/8" yes? Please advise.

Mike, when you trimmed that footer block with the hammer, is that the same kind of hammer that I’d use to trim stone/rock? I’m wanting to build a low stone wall in my yard.

Hi Daniel, I use what it called a brick hammer, they come in different sizes, and depending on the size of the stone I might use a smaller sledge, anything that works, I hope it helps, thanks mike

Yes, thanks Mike, helps. Hadn’t thought of a sledge. I’m using a granite from the Hollywood hillsides. Large stones from a wall in Beverly Hills that was demolished for some kill bds project. Man, I wish I lived near you. Lots of questions!

I love your channel! Question, how are the new blocks bonded or attached to the fieldstone foundation? Or are the blocks just butted up against it and filled with mortar?

Hi Program, with most masonry it just gravity holding it down and the cement is just a binder, I show it on my series , how I do block work, thanks, Mike

the sewer line repair is child-like. burying that partially repaired/replaced line is incomplete. more care should've been taken. a plumber shouldve been called in to do the work properly.

Nice video brother. Not sure what your beliefs are regarding God, but I would like to take this opportunity to say something about eating flesh. Many animals around the world suffer horribly at the hands of meat eaters. Please consider to eliminate flesh from your diet before your time is up on this planet.

Hi the greatecb, I am not the creator, just the created, (1Timothy 4:3) has something to say about it plus all the other verses so what you do or think would be between you and the Lord. (the pot don't tell the pot maker what to do,) I don't want to get involved in that kind of discussion, after all my studies I feeI a lot more comfortable in my life,, I hope you will too, I wish you well, God bless, mike
