digging, forming and pouring a concrete footer. We had to find our heights for the block work and concrete, build our forms, and poured a concrete footer for a block garage, Mike Haduck, all my videos are my ways and ideas, I always suggest anyone doing any type of work to consult professional help. www.amazon.com...

This man has a lot of wisdom and discipline. Incredible skill and confidence of what experience and maturity brings. This amazing video has given me ideas on the base footing for a cinder block wall. Like fine wine, age gets better with refinements and character. Thanks for the great video.

I think you are a genius to put up a sample of how you want the footer and foundation wall to look. Doing that quickly communicates to everyone what the objective is . Keep up the great work !!

thanks for your help and sharing your experiences. I've been doing masonry work for 23 years. i had 3 different bosses inside a 20 year period. now I have had my own business for 3 years. I have finally created customer support,and I'm saughtafter due to my quality of work and keeping my word. I was taught how to work hard,and then faster,no one told me how to apply it on my own to feed my kids,until now,thanks for the education. thank you Mr.hadduck

I have nothing but admiration and respect for Mike. If I ever get asked who taught me how I do my work I always give credit to him. I love his videos and the way he teaches is just plain awesome. Mike to me is the one and only mason I ever refer to when it comes to learning. Hope you have a great day, mentor. Regards one of your apprentices 😊👍🏻

Mike, I just wanted to say that this is one of the best and most simplistically informative videos I've ever seen on KZbin. It's refreshing compared to the usual videos where a young kid, guided by their experienced father, acts like they've got it all figured out at 21. Often, there are subtleties missing from their explanations because they're reading from a card, not speaking from experience, just to get likes and subscribers. Your "I learned that this is my best way...take it or leave it" attitude is awesome. Thank you! I've been running projects to put myself through school and have been doing construction with my dad since I was 11. Now, I'm finally building my own home in the Colorado Rockies, and I'm doing it 100% on my own. The footer has been the one thing intimidating me, but your video really helped me overcome that fear. So, thanks again!

Your chair idea just saved me money. I was going to buy the fancy ones. I know this is an old video but you broke it down into layman’s words and I don’t know why but I’m way more confident about doing my addition footings now. I have probably done 150hrs of research. This was by far the best plus building codes are very important for minimums. I’m going to go a little more that what they suggest but not something unnecessary

You are a pioneer on KZbin videos. Quality from the beginnings. I might never build my house myself (still nice dream) but it is great to have all these videos ready if the opportunity arises. The repair videos are great too. One thing I walked away with is that the best retaining wall is none. I have property soon that has a slope. I will not build a retaining wall if really not needed. Flatten parts of the area and just make a sharper slope and put vegetation. Cheap, you loose a bit of space but it makes life so much easier.

Really appreciated you bringing in some historical context ... the huge cathedrals built of massive, cut stones, all somehow leveraged into place without the use of modern day engineering, cranes and other powered machinery ... using raw man power, horse power and pure ingenuity. And still solidly standing many hundreds, maybe even a thousand (or more) years later. And the most important part ... the foundation ... the part that is (for the most part) invisible. Amazing to say the least.

Sure do appreciate this video because it answered some questions I had. I'm fixin' to build a stone wall that will have one ninety degree corner and several columns. It's not much at a total length of approx. thirty feet, but I want to do it right...so it will last. I'm using a white natural limestone rock. I have learned a ton of stuff watching Mike's videos. I now have a rock facing chisel, a few hammers of varying weights, and a brick hammer. I'm also building another wall utilizing new, and some used bricks, that I have been collecting for about two years. Once that wall four foot wall is around the perimeter of my rear deck and patio, I'm going to mix up the sand/topping myself, and finish the wall with either a Santa Barbara or Sand stucco texture, and then apply white Portland Cement finish. I just bought a new 1-9/16" High Output SDS Max type Rotary Hammer and a 1/2", a 5/8", and a 3/4" star tip masonry bit set...overkill? I'm thinking that making some holes for some pink fiberglass rebar will be a lot more fun than operating a 90lb. pneumatic jackhammer hooked up to a four cylinder Ford air compressor...busting bedrock for 12 hours a day in 95 degree Texas heat...'cause I've done that...but I was 19 years old then...and I'm 63 and minus one leg today.

Looks like a lot of extra work. I've been a laborer on several footing jobs. The guy would just paint out the lines from the blueprint, start digging it with the track-hoe, and I'd shoot grade for him as we went. There were no form boards, we used the dirt banks as our form. Then tie the re-bar in, put it up on chairs, go back and put grade stakes in for our concrete height, and pour it.

The hole is the correct size needed for the new footer, but the top 12 inches is too large because we had to dig out dirt around old to jack hammer it out. Can we just secure a form at the top half and pack dirt tightly around it and pour?

I was thinking of mixing the cement using a mixer myself will this be a problem as I will have to pour it a bit at a time. I could get a truck close to the area if that would be best.. what should I do I’m from Oregon and I loved your video about using pavers/ stones instead of cement our driveway is 32 meters long and it is all pavers Jim

Good video as always. Sorry if you already covered this point but a comment sometime on how in perfect world You, would prefer how to back fill and tamp a block on footing as this was probably the root of my problem on this 50 year old house I live in. As a apprentice plumber back in the 70's I was always alert to when the guy with the puddle truck was going to do the house I was laying ground iron in. They would simply push all the dirt from the basement hole into the ditch outside the foundation and this guy would have a pump on his tanker truck and he would walk around the outside ot the house with a 3 inch house and a 3 in. pipe and he would shove it into the ground to compact the soil. Sometimes it would find it's way under the wall where the drain layer shoved his drain pipe in and it would fill all my plumbing trenches and I would be working in mud. Go, Go, Go was the plan of the day. Everything was bid so low and only one chance to do things right. It's a wonder that anything is still standing at 35 years. Glad I am retired now. Thanks again and keep the camera rolling.

So, after watching all of Mike's videos, the main thing to know is "everybody does it differently". A long as you know that you should be able to do 90% of what Mike does.

I'm a layman/do-it-yourselfer who is interested in construction, and I try to read up on it. I like your no-nonsense videos. I have always understood that steel reinforcements should be completely encased in concrete so they don't rust from the outside, in. So when I do projects like walkways or retaining walls, I go to the effort to suspend the rebar or wire. I guess my question is, are those "chairs" steel, and is it okay to just set them on the ground to hold up the rebar? Thanks.

Hi Re, for hundreds of year there was no rebar and no concrete tucks and their work is there for years gone by, rebar is a new thing and no matter what anybody says sooner or later it will rot away no matter what you do,, I got to do a video on that, thanks mike

Thanks for all the great videos... so this is a compound concrete block wall? Do you pour concrete down the space between the two concrete blocks? Is there a video about the compound block walls? I was thinking about how to make a really thick bunker type storm shelter using concrete blocks... it would also be cool to know how to make an all brick house up to code in the modern days. But can you show us how to make compound block walls of various types? And what about dry stack?

Great video! Does the vertical rebar every 4 ft have to be tied into the horizontal bar sitting on the chairs? I thought they did. Maybe Florida, where I am located, is different code. Please keep making these.

Hi MP, you got to do what the inspector says, I film my work so everyone knows it was done, personally I can't see how a piece of wire holding the rebar will make a difference, is mostly for infections purposes, thanks Mike

So your saying that it is normal for a footer to move after say 50 years on a house? i developed a step crack on my block basement wall that is above ground on that part of the house. I had a structural engineer look at it and he said dont worry about it, just fill it in with some mortar caulking. Its been a year and did not crack since. We had a really bad winter that year.

I have seen a lot of builders dig their footer to ground level and pour concrete. They than start their block at ground level and go up. No forms used for footers since they stop at ground level. Is this a common way some masons/ builders do it to save time and labor? Thanks Mike, I appreciate your thoughts.

@MikeHaduck 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Joseph, years ago they would dig trench footers and save time and money, but now with inspectors they want everything formed so they can inspect it, which doubles the cost for things like garages and wall, but it is the American way, lol. Thanks mike

is building a block wall way cheaper than pouring concrete formed walls? Do you pour the block full of crete after you set them.

Mike Haduck Masonry can you recommend a mortar mix I can use to fix my front porch? I live in Youngstown, OH. The mortar in between the bricks is washed away and its like loose. I think I could fix it myself.

Hi Ryan, I can not say over the internet but I would not doubt a pre mix "S" mortar would be fine, check out my my "How I lay brick videos," and I would do some practicing with some old brick before doing the real fix. I hope it helps, thanks mike
