- On these videos I show how I repair a stone and concrete foundation, all my videos are my ways and ideas, I always suggest anyone doing any type of work to consult professional help.

I've watched several of Mike's videos and I love how everything is no big deal.
My old cellar has a 1940s Magic Chef range in it, a big sink, toilet, clothes lines, and I think there was a shower down there as well. They called them summer kitchens around here.
Hi bg, that's very true, the old timers lived more in the basement, I remember that, Mike
thats a tough job for a 60yr old, hats off for mike
Hi hrxy, I appreciate it. mike
A lot of lessons are contained in your videos, I hope the younger generations learn some of them!
....13
hi 13, it they are cheap enough I bet they will, lol, thanks mike
HI mike ,I have been watching your videos for a few years and always find your knowledge very helpful and have put your methods in to practice many times.I was happy to see you in my neck of the woods as I live about 30 miles from there cheers and I look forward to next video
thanks Darren, I appreciate it. was a very interesting journey I wanted to do for years, I felt right at home, thanks again, mike
You have a fantastic work ethic ! Great inspiration to just get things done and not make a fuss about it
Thanks woodcraft, Mike
Excellent work Mike. I have decided to white wash my basement just like you did instead of buying the drylock. Thanks again
Hi emina, I like drylock, the portland is just a cheaper fix but again it is what you are doing, thanks mike
I enjoyed this video again. Thanks Mike
Thanks Tomas, Mike
Mike, I watch all your videos, been in the general construction industry for 50 years, great picking up your personal ideas which are magic, many thanks.
thanks robert, I feel good hearing that from a pro, I appreciate it. mike
I know it's simple but, man. It makes such a difference. Whatever you make is not enough. Great work!!!
Thanks Josh, Mike
I found your videos while looking for info on the foundation of my old house (1914). Not sure if it is sandstone or limestone; after some searching I believe it is limestone. The old fashioned whitewash is info that I am glad to have.
Thanks Pamala, Mike
My cellar wall was bulging in 23 cm in the middle of one section on the uphill side. The cracks were fairly massive. I excavated it with a bucket and then pushed the wall back straight with a bottle jack and some scrap boards. "No big deal."
Most of the cracks closed up pretty tight. Your videos have been invaluable in learning how to patch it all up. Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise and create such a valuable resource. And thanks for your can-do attitude.
Thanks thor, I appreciate hearing that, mike
you and stu crompton are the best masons on youtube hands down
thanks The papas, I like stu's channel, I think he has a lot of good info, thanks mike
Love your videos. I watched something yesterday, Barn Builders or similar. The builder was taking us on a tour in a town called Elizabethton. He was shown round a house, built around civil war time, made of 32000 HANDMADE red bricks. Not baked just sun-dried, some of them had finger prints and finger indentions on them, with very crisp and clean bricklaying skill and lovely pointing. What an impressive piece of building history. And the house was in immaculate structural condition. Hard to believe it from sun-dried handmade bricks
Hi roontunes, yep lots of good masons and builders from the old days, thanks mike
Those castles are a work of art. Neglected for years and still looking good.
Thanks Jim, very true. Mike
Mike has the worst paint brushes, but I love it!
Thanks James, mike
Thanks Mike...your videos are a tremendous resource. I have learned a lot from you..
Thanks d, Mike
Thank you Mike for all of your UA-cam videos, I have watched. You have become the professional I consult. You have taught me a lot and I have learned a great deal but the 90# bags of Portland are really heavy. Ha Ha! I bought my first bag just last year and painted my repaired retaining wall, which I spent most of last summer on, to make it look more uniform. I wished there was some way I could share my work pictures with you.
The one thing I will never forget from all of your videos is, "if you want it to stick, you have to wet it first!" Now, that I say this, I wonder, did I do this enough when I painted with Portland because I have noticed flaking in certain spots over this winter. However, this may have also happened because it also rain that night after I applied the Portland, I even noticed an oil slick on the steps the next morning. If we ever have a spring I will be back on the wall again to power wash, repair one of my repairs already from winters freeze thaws, add another coat of Portland and maybe finish it off. Even if I might like to repaint with White Portland within the next couple of years.
Thanks again Mike! I'm still learning!
thanks WIlliam, yea it is just one of those do it every year job to make it look new, I appreciate the comment, comments like these keep me posting them on, thanks again, mike
Hey Mike, thanks for the video. That basement reminded me of the old Italian houses in West and South Philly. My aunt Gilda had almost the same setup and was the best place to hang out as kids. Thanks again for a trip down memory lane!!!
Hi Bobby, I agree, nothing like the simple life we remembered, thanks mike
Master Haduck.
Hi Richard, I am just passing along what I learned from the old timers, thanks mike
I'm so glad I found your channel. Those cellar walls look exactly like the walls I'm trying to repair.
HI Kelly, I am sure what you do will work out fine, thanks for the comment, mike
Great video!
Thanks!, Mike
Holy cow! You came to my country to teach, learn, & work on your You Tube? :O Totally awesome. I get a very tingly feeling in my tummy when people from distant lands exchange information in this peaceful way :)
Hi Kindle, it was great, I picket up some info, thanks mike
excellent film
Thanks Adam, mike
Great stuff.
Thanks Denis, Mike
I really appreciate your videos on repairing rock foundations. I'm so glad it's not rocket science, now I can do the repairs. 💯
Thanks Julia, I am sure you will do well thanks Mike
Incredible ! I admire you Mike. I really think that you are unique in these kind of work. I know what is like to work in a very tide space,like a crawling area. Part of my house was builded over a crawling space of only 2 feet high, aNd some time I have to go under. Is a pain in the but !! Saludos !
Thanks Juan, Mike
Your videos are always so informative and they flow so smooth.
Hi Jhizall, that is good to hear that, I always wonder when I am putting a new one out, much thanks , mike
Ahh, this was loaded with goodies! Thank you Mike! 🌻
thanks Tlims, mike
Thanks again Mike this looks like my basement here in Pittsburgh . Fortunately it's a dry basement and the walls are in good shape. Thanks so much for your videos i look forward to seeing them. LOL i haven't heard that garage key joke in years LOL!
Everything looks great even the smoked kielbasa yum!
thaks col, I appreciate it. mike
Really like your videos. Had to play the portion with the Welsh fellow several times due to the accent. I have taken on projects with your recommended methods. The White portland cement was expensive and I was foolish and did not place the left over in a plastic bag as you had done. Set up and lost 3/4 th's of the bag. Lesson learned.
thanks richard, I bet is turing out good though, glad some of my stuff is helpfull, thanks again, mike
Great video Mike. I'm always learning stuff from you. You look like a one man show but I bet you've had plenty of helpers over the years. Do you have a particular lieutenant or right hand man in training to carry the old methods forward? Maybe you could share a story about a past helper?
Hi Robin, all the old timers are gone and I just team up with the excavator, owner , or carpenter, I am already in my middle 60s and glad I am not involved in all the business expense, so I am just idleing on, but I should tell more stories, thanks mike
Hi Mike enjoy every video you make. I have two questions: 1) I have a two brick high border around the edge of my flower beds in my back yard. Several bricks have come loose. How do you repair loose bricks between solid stable bricks. 2) have walkways poured with 2x4 wood spacers. The wood has rotted out. How can I fill the space and blend the new cement. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all your viewers. You truly are a great teacher. Not many old school professionals around.
Hi Ted, for fixing brick I had lots of luck with the ready mix , S mortar, I would practice a bit before I did the real thing with some old brick on the side till you get the hang of it, also I usually rip out the old wood and just fill it with ready mix or something similar, It is almost an impossible to answer unless I was there, but I am sure you will figure it out, thanks mike
Great video Mike! Always a pleasure to watch you fix stuff! :)
thanks Doc, I appreciate it. mike
Mike; great rule of thumb for any experienced craftsperson...do what you got to do...
those creeped out spider web choked crawl spaces are worse than any SciFi horror set.
a tight fitting hoodie is as important as a sponge.
Another great job Mike..........
thanks JOHN, I appreciate it. mike
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 also liked seeing the Kabasa sausage being made....hopefully you'll film them making scrapple next 😆
Thanks David, mike
Love your videos Mike!
Thanks , Mike
Brilliant video Mike always love watching them, I live about 4 miles from Conwy hope you liked Wales.
Hi Mervyn, thanks, yes I really like Wales, and I hope I do the conwy video justice when it comes out, it is a big deal for us to see things like that. finally got there, good experience, thanks mike
better you than me with those spider webs lol. I don't know if I could go into a space like that anymore :-) The castle is pretty cool. Looking forward to that video.. love that accent!
thanks Sue, working on the video , should have it done by then, mike
plz do MORE videos old school way is for 50years i love that
thanks w, I will, mike
Great video Mike
Thanks mark, mike
Another video so soon? You're spoiling us Mike.
Hi Matt, every couple weeks,, can't keep up anymore
2 years on and I still can't find a good recipe for garagskis! Great videos all!!
Thanks Bob, mike
1:01 That screwdriver, it's the "Rosco 2 Fister" I have the same one I've never seen another till now! 😁
Thanks Theo, mike
damn he got me with the garage key joke
Thanks biz, lol, Mike
Another great vid mike 👌
thanks Potatoballs, I appreciate it. mike
Thanks mike!
thanks chenzo, I appreciate it. mike
No Big Deal = No Big Bill
Thanks, very true, Mike
thanks Mike
thanks Liam, I appreciate it. mike
My Dad use to tell us that "garagekey" joke. I am Polish so we say Kielbasa instead of Kielbasi. I am sure it tastes all the same.
as for tastes it depends.... if my family burns Kielbasi it still tastes like great Kielbasa.....
hi drbrono, yep its a tradition, I still get folks on that joke, lol, thanks mike
If a nonvenomous snake got into my house, I'm calling this guy
Hi Gypsy, lol, Mike
Garage keys., Love it. Where do you find white Portland cement, masonry supply stores? I live in Connecticut.
Hi Anthony, yep , brick yards etc, it's getting hard to find anymore, Mike
Each one of your videos is a gem,your channel is an encyclopedia of an art that sooner or later will get lost forever. I refer to your videos for everything stone or concrete, but I have not been able to find the answer to my problem. Right behind my house I have an existing continuous concrete footing about 8" deep/thick into the ground, 16" wide, no RBars or anchor bolts stick out, is just plain concrete. The project was left unfinished by the previous owner. He intended to build a mud room addition attached to the house, 8x10', but never did. I want to build a wall on it out of cement blocks, I know I would need to put R Bars inside the stacked concrete blocks, but how do I connect the RBars into the existing foundation? Or how deep should I drill into it? Your valuable advice is very much appreciated. Thanks!!
Hi F L, if it is a retaining wall, watch my video, "Retaining walls" yes or no, (Mike Haduck) I am not of fan of outside walls but if I had to I would drill into the concrete, and hammer them in, I would ask an inspector if it needs a permit, thanks mike
Thank you Mike, will do!
Hey you made it there! Hope you had fun :)
yep, made it there and back hope to have it on my next video, thanks mike
look forward to it mate
House mechanic Mike...no bonding agent ? ...nice work
Hi Luis, there was no bonding agents when I started, the oldtimers made their own , portland, and water. I show it on most of my foundation repair videos, thanks Mike
I have a question about pointing bricks. I have some rapid fast drying mortar left from a repair. Can I use the rapid mortar for some bricks that need pointing and should I add a little sand in the mix? How much sand to the rapid mix. Thanks Mike.
Hi Richard , I have a video out called repointing brick work, I show what I use there, I can't recommend anything else, thanks Mike
Thanks for all of these helpful videos Mike! Can this type of repair be done with 2 parts sand to 1 part portland for your climate? I know you said you used fast setting in this video because of the cool weather, but if the weather is warmer can 2 Sand : 1 Portland be used for this type of repair? Thanks!
If you don't have rapid repair morter can you just use morter then use portland as a "paint"?
Hi, I have, as you go through the series you will see the changes in mixes, thanks mike
Hi Mike, does the same apply if the walls of my stone foundation are leaking? If you already have a video discussing that, I just haven't made my way there but I want to thank you for helping me get over the anxiety that comes with a slightly damp, very old fieldstone basement, and how easily I might be able to fix it myself without a huge hassle or wicked expense because, after all, it's "NO BIG DEAL!" Thanks Mike :)
Hi Alissa. I dont have any specific video on it but I talk about it during my foundation repair and stone foundation repair videos, thanks mike
So the castles had lard in the plaster?
Hi Kevin, That’s what he said, but I don’t really know, never heard of it before, thanks mike
Great
thanks S, I appreciate it. mike
So are you using type n cement or s mortar? I keep hearing you say your using s mortar in the mix but the bag I keep seeing in the videos is type N cement. I'm just making sure I'm using the right mix for my stone foundation. Thanks
Hi Robert, sometimes I cant find s so I might use n, I just add a little extra Portland but even if I didnt it won't hurt, thanks mike
2:16 LOL About right too :)
Claustrophobia set in getting underneath that house with all the spiders?
Hi Duke, it was middle of winter , so not too bad, thanks mike
I hope that was your dads house you were under! Otherwise???? Amazing video!
Hi Thomas, not my dads but no worries, an easy fix, thanks mike
1:20 OH NO! You removed the LBL (Load-Bearing Lattice)
[entire structure suddenly collapses]
I like kielbasi, that's my dish. I like kielbasi better than fish!
Thanks David, mike
Great vido Mike, Thanks allway something new to learn from youre videos. What kind of camera and videoprogram are you useing ?
hi Gok, I just use a sony handy cam HDR cx405 about 200 dollars ( I get a year out of them before I break it,) and sony vegas movie studio, , and it seem to be good enough for what I do, thanks mike
would type S mortar also work here? thank you
Hi Laguna, I usually mix it with Portland, mortar turns to powder inside especially with the dampness, but every situation is different, I show what I use in each video, thanks mike
Lime not portland for white wash. Portland will hold water in the wall lime will breathe.
Hi Tony, lime wash don’t work here, I will be back doing it all the time, it bubbles up and falls apart, thanks, mike
Love your video's. Ive just started seeing that high performance fast drying repair mortar in my local masonry supply store. What are your experiences with it? I wonder if its comparable to the rapid set cemental/mortar mix.
Big thing with these products Carlos is how fast or rapid is fast or rapid? I try small samples of these in my shop and time their curing....how it goes from wet applied to moist finish or sponge and then to hard set. Rapid Set makes additives for extending their rapid cure and also the applied consistency if your job needs those ...I happen to think the Rapid Set product is a bit more engineered as far as being part of a masonry system. Mike uses a lot of it btw.
Hey Mike, I live here in the PA coal region. My house and front porch foundation appears to be some kind of concrete with coal/ash mixed in. Some areas are crumbling, but seems pretty solid. What would be best material/mix to patch these areas with?
Hi jason, every job is a bit different, so I try and show what I use on each video, lots of it is similar in a different package, I think you got to do a little experimenting fist and find out what works best for you, thanks, mike
Smoked Kielbasa,...mmmmmmmmm.
Mike, I hope you charged them per spider on that first job.
That's code.
Thanks Dan lol, I hear you, Mike
Can I get a certificate of approval, if I watch everyone of your videos? I think it should qualify me for something, right?
Hi Charles. Ain't no wimmin been chasing me yet, l mike
I feel like I am the only one who thinks the stone foundations look so much nicer when you don't cover the whole thing to a smooth surface like concrete. I think hammering out the loose mortar and lime then repointing looks SO much nicer, but that's my personal opinion. What are your thoughts on this?
Hi Sam's, in my parts most of the old foundations are made of old mine rock because it was free but unattractive, if it was made out of a building quarry rock to look good that's a different story, thanks mike
@@MikeHaduck Okay that makes total sense! I am in the process of repointing my foundation in eastern CT and it is beautiful, and will look even better after repointing. I was just curious why they get skimmed over so often. Thanks for your reply!
When do you use quick Crete. I see you go back an fourth from regular cement to quick crete.
Hi Dave, every job is a little different, sometimes I use it for fills and fast drying and sometimes I can’t, it just depends on the job I am doing, thanks mike
Oh Kelbasi got this Polak's attention lol
Thanks Josrph, lol, Mike
I've watched 6 of these videos now, and if there's one thing I've learned it's that if I want it to stick, it should be bone dry, right? ;-)
I plead the 5th, thanks Mike
if a man came in picking at the, what seems to be decaying wall, id be scared as shit.
Thanks, Mike
by the way.. part of my family was from Wales :-)
May I hire you? plz answer!
I appreciate you asking Tommy, but I am not taking anything more on this year, thanks Mike
Does temperature matter for the first foundation repair?
Hi J, as long as it does not go below freezing, that is one of the reasons I used the fast drying cement, a couple hours and it was done, thanks mike
Awesome, thanks. Although it's summer in PA now apparently...great content, appreciate all the tips
I can't eat garagekey...hurts my stomach. thanks for the videos.
HI Jason, old joke , lol, thanks mike
That looks like my basement.
hi wonthefight, nothing wrong with that, I appreciate it mike
Honest Jardy’s mom”s house??
Hi, could be, lol, Mike
Ummm this is more then a how to. This not only shows you the work but you then learn the job with a deep understanding from your examples from long ago.
Thanks, mike
Is there a way i could contact you, such as email.
Hi High, I can't give advice over the internet, I just show what I did and how and hopefully why, but it is on the about section of the channel, thanks mike
Hey mike are you hungarien? My hungarien friend always make kolbasz sausage. Cheers
Hi Michael, polish, german, irish , english, french, and part american indian, the family got around, thanks mike
Garage keys 🤣
Thanks victor. Mike
