Did I miss your classic line "Just like a dentist." when removing the mortar? Wonderful vids Mike and it's a joy to hear the stories and your travel vids with your brother are some of my favorites on YT

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Savio, mike

[@kechumgreen8893]

watching you work on a chimney made me think of Fred Dibnah. he was an English guy who worked on those 200 - 400 foot factory chimneys. he also took down several of them in his time. there are lots of videos of Fred on youtube. watching him attach ladders and climb those things without any safety devices is something to watch compared to todays safety standards. he said if you fall, you get to spend a half day with the undertaker. amazing man for sure.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Ketchum, yes I have seen him, Mike

[@T.E.P.]

also I miss you sitting on the tailgate of the truck .. "Now I wanna talk about his job." great results again Mike! hope my comments all the time here help the channel. I'll charge you 25¢ for every comment .... this is the my 3rd comment on this video today so please save 3 quarters that you owe me and give them to your nephew that helps you.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Thor, I will, Mike

[@NJLEAN]

Awesome work as always!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, mike

[@mikeh2599]

Beautiful chimney. Thanks for taking the mystery out of some of this stuff. I just bought 3 bags of Ready Mix, 1 bag of Portland (bad word in this part of Oregon), a $6.00 trowel. I'm going to start with some fence posts and maybe by fall I'll be up to putting in a front walk. Mix it dry first........

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks mike, I am sure you will do well, mike

[@doloresm7396]

Thanks for the idea with the roping on this job. I'm going to do this on the job where I didn't like how the joints turned out. Awesome work, I love to watch your talent come to life. I met a young architect in Lebanon yesterday and told him about your channel and Wayne Feree's channel. He was intrigued to watch your channel and Wayne's. Real nice kid, disillusioned with the architect field though. Hope you're good. D.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks D, I appreciate it, hope your fine too, summer is coming, mike

You have patience, your kind of the Leonardo da Vinci of the masonry world.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Robert, thanks for the kind words, Mike

[@muxxor9492]

Great job as always Mike. I see so many other masons do repair work and not take the time to match the existing mortar and it comes out so bad looking.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, mike

[@FireShine-ss4sb]

I redid a chimney and wanted to seal it well so to paint it with oil based paint a dark gray. Well the primer was white base and the paint store guy kept adding dark till it overflowed. He gives it to me saying he did what he could. Well he added some red into it and after it was shook from the machine it was a gray pink color. I started painting and being color blind everything was sort of ok. Until I stood back and realized I was about to get kicked off the job AND not be paid. I took the paint away back to the truck. I had a quart of stove paint flat black. Added the whole can. Mixed it up. Ran back up, kept painting over than pink. People thought it was great. Then I painted the mortar joints in black for a highlight. People came off the street and knocked on their door saying how good it looked. I was barely able to pull it off. The moral of the story is, DO NOT rely on the color coded paint makers at Roam Deep Oh. They cant match paint well, because the machine is faulty.

I am color blind myself,, They got quite a following, mike

[@chrisstratton6293]

Great video Mike. Can I ask why you choose your mix ratio? I would have thought a type N with a scoop of portland. Also why 2 sand instead of 3?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Chris, it's open to the weather, and in my area would take a beating, so I felt it was best for patching that, i do have a video called "what cement should I use?" Part 2, thanks mike

[@TP-xi7ri]

It wouldn't be a real Mike Haduck video without a little "Portland" TP

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks TP, very true, mike

[@rom14141]

Mike is so experienced as a mason he could build a chimney from the top down. "See my video called 'Defying Gravity, Don't Make A Big Deal Out Of It', it's just gravity." Mike 🤣

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Brian, mike

[@nonameno6690]

Love your channel!! I'm confused with my searches online for Mortar and cement. I live in Canada . The Repair Mortar says SHB ( S you said has (portland) , but what are the other letters HB? Should I buy this? Also, The Portland cement I find says Type GU (meaning general use), what does this entail? Is it the same as type 1-2 portland or is it missing or has something added? Thanks

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, back in my day there was only Portland and mortar, now they come up with new names everyday, I did a video called " what cement should I use"? Part 2, check it out, thanks mike

[@sickopierce]

What tool are you roping with? The angle of it looks like none hat i can find online, thanks... awesome work

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, most the times you would make your own tools, thanks,Mike

[@jimcramer9656]

That chimney is a work of art. Is it satisfying to be able to repair something made the old way like this?

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Jim, mike

[@leemallory3446]

Mike: What mix would you use to repair a 20 yr old 40' tall field stone veneer (approx 2" thk) framed chimney that the mortar is badly cracked in some places, falling out in others, and just super soft in still others? Right now it is leaking badly. I am on a mountain in NC and when it storms the high wind drives the water right into the chimney. I would like to make this as impervious to weather as possible as I do not want to do this again.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Lee, I got a whole playlist on "chimney repair," and show what I did and use in each circumstance, I al also a big believer in metal covering the whole top, I hope it helps, Mike

[@jeffwilson2152]

Hi Mike, do you have a general rule of when to use a cement truck vs mixing by hand ?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Jeff, just very small jobs usually less than 6 wheelbarrows I mix by hand, everything depends, thanks mike

[@buildingwithtrees2258]

Question for you Mike. I'm looking at buying an old stone building that burned down in the 80s. It's a 2 story facade that goes back 10 feet, then down to 1 story. Built with round smooth field stone and faced rock for the corners/windows. Built in 1936, and a full basement. Walls are straight, facade is straight. The village president said I may not be allowed to build on it because of the fire. Have you encountered this before? Would re pointing the stone and pouring a cap shore it up enough to please an inspector?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, building inspectors for the most part know about modern buildings but nothing about old buildings, conwy castle been there 200 years before Columbus discovered American, you got to star from that angle, fire means nothing, my opinion, mike

[@stevenschaublin9695]

mike do you put the mixing pan underneath your work area to catch the packing mortar that falls when you are filling a joint?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi steven, sometimes I do , but not all the time, thanks, mike

[@thomasalati1662]

hi my chimney is a large rectangle with 4 flues. how do i know if my chimney needs to be replaced or the flashing is not on right or its the roof? My chimney is also painted white so how do i see if its the mortar? Touch it, smack it around like you did? Also I got chimney masons to come by and they quoted me 7500.00 in northern nj. would rather pay you.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks thomas, I can't take on any more work this year, lots of things to consider on chimneys, , I would get some different ideas and quotes, thanks for asking, mike

[@jeffconnor8821]

Mike, can you please help me price a job I have a 12-ft stone chimney on a steep 12 pitch roof I have a man lift but how much should I charge this guy? I had to remove all the old mortar and put new and the wash

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Jeff, it's a tough one, most times for a job like that you make a deal with time and material before you start or you give him a price or a little of both, or you got to show him your expenses and ask if your labor is fair, I hope it helps, thanks Mike

[@jamiewatkinson4123]

Hi Mike is that a box jointer I would use to get the reverse concave look

Hi Jamie, yes, I just bent it backward. Mike

[@sgtboz9730]

For a Michigan repoint of a stone foundation, Mike, is two sand, one portland, and one hydrated lyme ok to use?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Boz, it sounds ok, but that is a different area than mine, thanks mike

[@sgtboz9730]

It's snowy and cold like Pennsylvania in the winter. Up and down temperatures, also. Thank you, Mike. I've learned more from you than all these other channels put together. And that is a big deal. :)

Convex joint perhaps?

Hi, I dont know what you call it bu as long as it matches, thanks mike

[@marshalek208]

Mike why did you use a sand mix instead of mortar? Just curious.

Hi Lenny, depends on the job, but lime or straight mortar dont hold up in my area. Thanks mike
