- I tear down a set of brick steps and rebuild with a different size brick and limestone thread. All my videos are my ways and ideas, I always suggest anyone doing any type of work to consult professional help.

I've been a self-employed carpenter for almost 35 years, and I am 63 years old. I enjoy your videos immensely.
Thanks Kmn, I appreciate it, mike
Just started on my steps. Just resaw about 5 of your step videos. Many thanks. From Cyprus
Thanks Antonio's, nice to here from Cyprus , Mike
Whenever I see the shots of your finished projects, it actually makes me physically smile. You are a national treasure, Mike. I wish you all the best.
Thanks Brawk, I try, Mike
He needs his own TV show
“My uncle Mike’s got a loooooot of money!”
Cool build mike, keep the videos coming!
Thanks Vinny, it’s a sure thing to attract wimmin, lol, Mike
You nephew is 18 and just graduating 7th grade! We don't have those kind of go-getters in my family. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mike, mike
I watch so many of your videos and learn a lot. I really like your historical perspective on how things used to be done and how they're done now. I watch so many of your videos that my wife is even saying "no big deal" and I say "we're not gonna win any trophies here." and "comprendes?" I've parged a few walls now and like the work.
Thanks Bob, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
As a teacher I can appreciate everything your nephew said.
Thanks Jason, I told him to stick with it, lol mike
I’m just a guy trying to save money and your videos have helpmeet tremendously sir
Thanks Jerry. That's what it is all about, I appreciate it, mike
"My Uncle Mike's got a lot of money!" - good stuff man! I just re-did my chimney with your help, thanks Mike!!
Thanks Nicholas, mike
It's good to see your giving your nephew a proper education. Great video... once again.
Thanks Anthony, mike
I have never laid a brick in my life, but I love watching your videos and learning. Rob Songer was my first bricklaying entertainment/education - I bet I have seen most of your videos and his too. Great stuff, and I like your style and snippets of wisdom. Thank you!
Thanks aus, mike
I purchased a shirt and a sweatshirt Mike... Excited to receive them.
Thanks Adam, I appreciate it, hope you enjoy them Mike
Great informative video! The nephew bit about him being 18 & in 7th grade - lmao!
Thanks Helloit, it’s fun,, mike
You are a really cool guy. You explain things so the average person can understand. I enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks Lorenzo, Mike
Excellent video as always. We see you retired and are in Florida 😊. We're glad you're retired and having a good life. We really appreciate your videos and enjoy the honesty.......... and narration.
Thank you again for sharing all of your excellent videos. Maybe you'll have new content? God bless 🙏
Hi lizza, I still have a lot of videos left from PA and will be doing some in Florida, God bless, Mike
That's fantastic news. We thoroughly enjoy your video. God bless 🙏
Thx, Mike
great work
Thanks, Mike
You have so many little tricks , great video !
Thanks Jim, Mike
Impressive results!
I did construction for 48 years and I NEVER thought about using a 'wood strip' for cement protection as you did. MANY THANKS for the lesson!!!
Thanks 13, I always appreciate it, mike
You’re ‘old school’, Mike.
University of common sense and hard knocks. Most don’t want to ‘earn, that type of a degree any more. Maybe you can inspire the younger bunch to take heed. Thanks, God bless.
Thanks Larry, God bless also, Mike
Thank you so much for your channel!
Thank you, mike
There's no substitute in the world to make up for hands on experience. I enjoy watching your videos for the little tips and tricks you learned over the years. Anyone can mix a bag of premix concrete and pour it, but the tip of adding this or doing that to make it stronger or last longer is priceless. Keep up the great work Mike.
Thanks M&D, I appreciate it, mike
Looks awesome Mike..👍🏻
Thanks Daveyboy, mike
Love this man...I am 55yr old female and disabled daughter..everytime I need quotes they bs me..so I've started doing things myself... your amazing mate...originally from the UK but living in Florida..your UA-cam is soooooo very helpful x
Thanks G M, Mike
More than 40 years ago I got a huge amount of practical training by working summers for my grandfather who owned a small business. He was a big proponent of “patterns” and even to use the same board as a pattern and keep it separate from the copies. That might be why your videos feel like a continuation of Gpa’s training. Except we are about the same age and your training is a lot more fun ! And it’s a lot easier watching vs trying to actually perform the task while being watched and coached. But your videos gave me the confidence to start working with the premixed concrete. I can only wish the results would be as good as yours.... but twill do. Thank you for sharing what you know and keeping it as simple as possible for us newbies !
Thanks Douglas, I appreciate hearing that, mike
Nice job mike, it's nise to see A peron that take pride in his work. I'm A 36 yrs concrete mason . getting close to retire out of the cement mason local 528 out of Seattle WA....
Thanks David, I appreciate hearing that from a professional, mike
Big Thumbs up
Thank you. Mike
Quite amazing, you make it look so easy...
Chuck in Michigan
Thanks Charles, mike
I can tell you love your job. It’s nice to find someone that cares about their workmanship and doesn’t mind taking the time and helping others with the years of hard earned experience you have work for. You have a good heart and helped many people. I’m one of them. Thanks for your videos.
I really like this guys' way of teaching, to the point and well explained without the added butter talk . thank you Mr. Mike!!
Thanks Mr Lou, Mike
Excellent. Very helpful. Thanks. God bless.
Thanks ,Mike
Awesome job! Thanks!
Thanks Mic’s, Mike
Great effort your tips for jobs a top notch.
thanks, mike
What a beautiful job, the stone treads look fantastic against the brick. Thanks for sharing Mike
I always learn something, because you explain the materials used and the labor. You're a Great teacher, maybe your nephew can hook you up w/ his teacher, you would both have something in common. Almost forgot, your nephew 18 years old in the 7th grade, that was a good one.
Thanks Joseph, no kids are interested, but he will Remember years from now , thanks mike
You are a blast to watch! I learn sooo much. When I get some extra $$ I'd like to get a t shirt
Thanks Daniel, mike
limestone treads besides being better durability look far more class, rebuild made quite a feature of them .
simple really some bricks, some stone treads, some rubble and blocks and you got some steps .
nice work in the summer ...
Thanks Mr B, Mike
Mike "so i wet the sides of the form a little bit. So it dont stick" also Mike "if you want it to stick, you gota wet it first" 🤣 im just poking fun mike. Great video as always. Us youtubers enjoy them. Keep it up👍
Thanks mark, I appreciate it much, mike
Lots of good info to absorb here. Thank you kind Sir. I bet those people who clicked " thumbs down" were a few bricks short of a load anyway. Your videos make me want to try working with brick and stone, maybe when I retire next year, I'll try a few small projects.
Thanks zstephen, Mike
Hey Mike ,love the finish of your work .Instead of using the cardboard why not get your height and divide by number of steps .
You will get your risers to work that way .The same with the treads distance in from the first riser to the top of the last riser ,then divide by how many steps to suit your stone treads .Always keeping even risers and treads .
It works trust me ive been a bricklayer for 35 years .Id like to do some steps with you but its a bit of a hike to the states from uk
My old Dad and grandfather were brickies and the love of the job is in the blood .Nice to watch your work come together ,keep building all the best
Thanks Paul, I love the uk bricklayers, I am one of those guys always make mistakes with rulers so I do it the old school way, thanks , Mike
@@MikeHaduck
Thanks Mike for the reply ,I understand ,I have to re assure my self with my calculations doing steps 3 or 4 times .
I love watching your videos ,keep them coming .Kind regards Paul
Mike that's awesome your nephew is learning from you and helping out
Hi Tim, he likes the money, lol, mike

Thanks Patty, I try, mike
Nice job good honest work as ever. Thanks for sharing. All the best Pete
Thanks Pete, Mike
Hi Mike, still watching, but I am a little concerned about the nephew. If he goes to grade 12, he might be 30 ( or more)? Happy Trails!
Hi Thomas, I know but he education is important for sure, lol. Mike
Did he fell some grades or something. At 18 he should be graduating now. Is he stupid or slow. 🤪🤓
@@lallenh1 Fail not fell
@@illestofdemall13 iceman should be redoing the 7th grade!
I was about to say mine just turned 16 and went to 11th grade.
wow professional job mike
Thanks Juan, mike
You must be doing this for Very Good Friends, because you're building those steps like a 'Perfect' work of art that will last Forever.. like I (almost) always say after (almost) every project. "a thing of beauty and a joy forever.-- and pretty apt to stay that way."😆😉
Hi bonan, I was putting that job off for a while, lol, Mike
Just think Mike, these videos will be viewed 500 years from now..If the Lord hasn't come by then.
Hi Yopa, I hope he comes tomorrow, mike
Thank you Mike for uploading this video for me! Great work and working smart.
Your thinking is right,that bag mix is not strong enough.
thanks Len, I have been finding that out, mike
I'm telling ya Mike I love the beat to that song. Thanks for sharing again. I learn something every time.
Thanks Joe, I always appreciate it, mike
I’m 20 years and boss told me to go watch about your channel. He said some of your techniques might be different than what he teaches me but the more ways I learn how to do something the better. Hopefully it helps me with my side jobs
Thanks Lorenzo, Mike
You the man Mike
Thanks Ronald, mike
I love watching your videos Mike! I hope you make more of them. HVAC guy here my whole life raised in PA and went out on my own down south in AL. Hearing just the way you talk makes me miss home. You make it look so easy keep up the good work! See yinz in the one 😉👍🏻
Thanks VR, I appreciate it, mike
Love the pattern layout. Did tons of layout in the cabinet shop before one board was ever cut. Does help eliminate costly mistakes and rework
thanks John, I agree, mike
Nice work Mike!

You're a true craftsman! It takes many years of experience to get those steps so perfect.

Brilliant...
Thanks Mickey, mike
Real Nice video. Always enjoy watching. Looked like allot of work and I think I would just buy some kind of prefab and be done with it. But whatever the customer wants. God Bless! , Thanks for sharing Mike.
Thanks Sean, God bless also, Mike
That's a swell job there sir 👌
thanks, mike
Another great one Mike!
Thanks George, mike
This video just saved me thousands, I wanted the end result with plain concrete steps that are deteriorated. Thought I could just face it with brick and put the slabs on top. Now I'm just going to just resurface it.
Thanks Jeff, mike
Lol the banter with your nephew was hilarious.
Thanks Charles, mike
Hello, I love it, nice and easy for my, I'm going to try this method by my self, my front stairs needs it, nice tips, thank you.
Thanks Paula, I am sure it will work out, mike
Hi Mike, down here in Alabama the mortar lasts quite a bit longer than it would in Pennsylvania. However,I do get ALOT of calls for pointing up steps (usually where full joints were not used to begin with). The joint on the third brick will crack ,sometimes all the way up and down the set of steps before anything else. Great video!
Thanks Mikey, Mike
What a great idea - pouring the slab into the form off-site. The only requirement, I guess, is having a strong, young relative to help you put that heavy sucker into the truck. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Crabby, mike
Thank you Mike 🌻
Thanks Eman, mike
Hi sir
Really your are a good man I pray you are ( sir ) you will be moslim (muhamadan) and GOD extended you’re lifetime and good luck
Thanks Ali, Mike
Nice Mike, people have no idea what goes into a small job, but you'v explained many of the steps.
You didn't show all the work behind the scenes, material acquisition, transporting, ordering limestone treads. hauling off debri to landfill, cashing check.
Thanks Greg, that's true, someday I got to do a video on that, thanks Mike
Love the building videos. Great stuff
Thanks Mtec, mike
Thanks for sharing! I learn a lot from your videos
Thanks Brent, mike
