Hi Mike you saved my walkway this summer. I think I can get 3 years of Portland patch work the Mike Haduck way before it needs to be completely replaced. Love your channel.

Mike, thank you. I'm a contractor in Massachusetts. (over forty years) A longtime customer has asked me to do repair work on their brick front steps. Having very little experience with masonry, I needed to research the proper materials and techniques to do the work that's needed. Like so many things, if you know what you're doing and why, it gives you the confidence and peace of mind in knowing you're providing the best service for your customer. I've watched several videos you've posted, and they are an absolute wealth of information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and the information in your videos.

Very much appreciate all of your insights. I have a brick home in Philadelphia built in 1895. After watching your videos I have a better idea of how to treat/fix the brick. Thank you!

I watched your first video today, and then many others and within two minutes of watching you and listening I knew you were from W-B/ Scranton area. We’ve been living in San Diego the past 40 years and now that the kids are grown up we’re coming back Home, buying some land and going to have fun building the last home that we’re going to live in and it’s going to be all stone just like our current house. Your videos are great, it’s really great to hear and see somebody from where we grew up, and I forgot the recipes for walls, stonework and grout and this has been so helpful. Thank you for your video.

Blocked in my basement window wells this weekend. Wound up being a 3 day ordeal after digging them out enough to work with and have solid bricks to start with. Glad to see you don't mind spec mix! I was told to use it without compromising. It doesn't look near as pretty as your work does but it should do the trick! Inner foaming the whole foundation and plastering the outside. Thanks for all the advice Mike!

Great video Mike! One thing you touched on that maybe you can expand on another time. Cement products have a shelf life. I try not to use it over one year old. I'm sure you use it up fast but I found out the hard way that after a year or so an open bag even in plastic loses lots of it's strength.

Absolutely excellent!!! It is gratifying to listen to someone, who, not only knows what he is talking about, but also, the added, 'common sense,' angle 'mixed-in' and, not too much sand... [My Glaswegian sense of humour.. :)] I am retired, but Volunteer for the River & Canal Trust in England, UK mostly around London. At the moment, one of the jobs I do, is pointing the support brick-work of a190 year old, 'Listed Bridge.' The vagaries of the weather also tantamount to the mix being used? They are using... 3:1:1/8Lime... with a flush finish.... Will be watching more of your videos in the future... :)

I live in Alabama and I could hardly get it used up before it set up on me. I laid a stoop out if the same stuff several months earlier and it's so hard ,you'd have a hard time breaking it up with a jack hammer.
