Just keep it simple, "not gonna make a big deal out of it". I think people (including me) could use this advise in other areas of their life.
Thanks. Mike
My whole life
Amen:)
Mike, i was searching for some foundation sealing on youtube and then i found Bob Ross of masonry. Cheers from Greece!
Thanks Fanis, nice to hear from Greece. Mike

Somehow a few years ago I stumbled across this channel, I’ve learned much from it and always look forward to new videos. Mike has many talents besides masonry and is the kind of man you’d want to have a beer or a meal with and shoot the breeze.
We should all be as laid back and easy going. Thumbs up Mike.
Thanks Clint, I appreciate it, mike
Feel like I cant watch enough of these videos, during a lunch break.
Awesome, as usual.
Thanks justin, mike
I had a deck with a crumbling foundation just like this. I thought I was going to have to tear it down until I watched this video. I kept it simple, followed all the steps without modification. Great results. Thanks Mike!
Thanks, Mike
Wow!! You didn’t even make a big deal about it!! These are great videos for an amateur to gain confidence and do there own work. 5 years back I had a customer ask if I did basement windows, watched your basement window vid, no big deal, I kept it all masonry, thanks Mike
Thanks john, mike
Thanks for the video Mike. Ah yes, anthracite coal ashes. Growing up "in the valley" I carried thousands of buckets outside from both the kitchen stove and the furnace. I put that stuff everywhere: filled in holes, coated anywhere that had ice - what a residual mess, mixed with mud to make play concrete, used it to keep down the weeds, till it into the garden soil (no idea if that was a good move), made giant piles of it and sometimes "fixed" potholes on my street. Later on I think the town wold pick it up from trash cans left near the street.

Hi Paul, yep the good ole days, lol, mike
Thank you Mike Haduck we are most appreciative of all of your stone mason presentations. They are all very informative. Thank you again for sharing. God bless S&S :)
I love your work and your philosophy of “no big deal”. Make things simple, simple things work for a long time.
Thanks Rafael, Mike
These videos are always a big help.
Thanks bulldog, mike
I had to repair my steps. The steps were preformed steps that you buy at homedepot. They were cheap. After a few years they were breaking down in the center of steps bc of salt and rain. Now that I know the difference between cement, concrete, and mortar. I was able to make my steps stronger. Thanx Mike.😊
Thanks abrown,, Mike
Your videos are absolutely priceless as me and my wife embark on restoring a 140 year old 3 story hotel with a stone foundation that needs some attention so thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge. I did work one summer with a concrete company back in 1992 so I did at least gain a little bit of experience in the craft but was always amazed at how fast and precise the guys I worked for could lay brick and block.
Thanks DrD6452,, Mike
Really love your videos Mike. I’m an apprentice mason a few years out of high school and just discovered your Chanel a few weeks ago. I really like your whole approach to different jobs and I find myself using things I’ve seen on your Chanel every day. Thanks for the versatile content. Jake
Thanks Jake, I am glad if it helps. Mike
Jake, congratulations on picking a good honest profession. The only thing I can advise is be like Mike and tell your customers that it’s “no big deal“ and that you’ll fix it. Too many people who do stuff like this nowadays like to panic the homeowners into getting work done. Put their minds at ease like Mike does and you’ll be a rich man.
Another great video, Mike. I love your attitude, "Don't make a big deal about it, it's only cement." TP
Thanks TP, mike
Several years ago, I was looking at this old farm house for sale in central Michigan, built in 1910 with a field stone foundation. The home kept well over the years, like most things built in that era, however; I wondered how much work it'd be to maintain the foundation. After a simple google search and a series of clicks, I landed on one of Mike's videos. The home sold before I could move on it; but I've learned some things non the less. Mike is the Bob Ross of masonry.
Thanks for the kind words, Mike
i got hooked on your channel watching chimney repairs because we cook, heat, heat water using wood and its still interesting , your holidays to asia were good too.
Thanks, mike
I enjoyed this video very much and I finally had great success with my foundation project . It looks great! Thank you Mike for great videos the ordinary person can understand.
Thanks Margery, that's great, Mike
Mike, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I've personally saved thousands by watching your videos over the past couple of years and repairing things myself. I've grown a pretty good love of masonry too!
Thanks Bill, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
I learned two things today: how to patch foundation
How to not make a big deal out of it.
Thanks for the informative video as always, Mike.👍
Thanks Casey, Mike
Thanks for starting my day off with a good lesson. Love the banjo.
Thanks paul, mike
Love your videos Mike! I worked my way through college as a mason tender in the summers. Hard work, but loved the trade. The masons were the best guys on the job site!
Thanks Chris, mike
You have amazing aim slinging that cement with that trowel! I really apreachate you sharing your years of gained knowledge and experience and "no big deal attitude". You're a real pro! I enjoy how you go into the history or the "old ways" with castles and barns and lime and the explanation. Thanks alot!!
Thanks Brad, I appreciate it, Mike
Really appreciate your knowledge Mike and " not gonna make a big deal out of it" attitude..lol. I WOULD OF BEEN FREAKING OUT Mike! It's the foundation. In any case your years of experience are irreplaceable and it shows. Thanks Mike I've learned so much from watching your vids.
Thanks Oakster, I appreciate it, Mike
I'm sure the homeowner appreciated your simple repair and saving him a lot of money. Some contractors would have to bring in a machine and excavate and create a big deal when there wasn't one. I totally agree that the garage floor looked sound. I've seen them crack and drop down where you wouldn't want to set your bowling ball down or it'd end up rolling down the street. Keep up the good work, Mike. We're all learning a lot!
Thanks Bill, I appreciate that, mike
This job looked really intimidating, and you made it look like a simple fix. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks Francisco, mike
@@MikeHaduck Mike you put your customers at ease! We need more people like you telling their customers that “ it’s no big deal”, and that you’ll fix it for them.
We are not gonna make a big deal out of it as the wall comes crumbling down. If I was the owner, I would not sleep at night. But, then Mike comes to the rescue and fixes it.
Thanks Thomas, mike
Mike puts peoples minds at ease with his easy-going attitude.
My mind would not be at ease after this "repair"
People this Man has been doing this alot long er than most people been alive ! I fully Trust him......😊 🎉🎉
I'm using this method to fill my crumbling stoop. The top and steps are in good shape. Better than paying $3200 or 5200, which is what I was quoted.
I am a 54 years old lady from the UK. And I am learning a lot with your videos. I am trying to patch up the shed concrete base in my garden. I came across with your amazing expertise in masonry. You explain everything in a natural way, and make it look so easy. But is not!!😂😂 Many thanks to share your experience with the world. 🙏
Thanks Aleli, Mike
I love the attitude of not making a big deal of things. I recently purchased a home and discovered the foundation needs some patching like here but way less severe than shown here. I was kind of freaking out but I will be taking a step back, breathing, not making a big deal out of it and fixing it.
Thanks ultra,, I am sure you will do fine, Mike
Thanks. After watching some of these, I had the confidence to start around my house.
Thanks Lisa, I am sure you will do fine,, Mike
Perfectly accessed and addressed. Old school popcorn finish covered the sins. Great technique. Great vid Mike!
Thanks Jane, mike
Thanks for another common sense video, I have used your training to repair several things and all have worked well. My dad's ole garage has a couple similar problems and I will use this, it was built 71-5 = 66 years ago because as a boy of 5, I "helped" the block layers mix mortar.....keep it real...
Thanks Wayne, mike
Youre amazing, Mike! Just the problem I have and now I have the knowledge to tackle it once the weather warms up! Thanks kindly for another lesson!
Thanks DEE, Mike
Mike, Thank you, thank you thank you. I had a problem with my concrete block, not nearly as bad as this. I was REALLY worried when I found it. Now... I'm not going to make a big deal of it. I'm just going to go fix what needs to be fixed. You've shown me exactly what I need to know to do it.
Thanks Jeff, Mike
We all learned more in 18:56 seconds on how to do a job the correct way. Mike you are a great teacher.
Thanks Viking, mike
Thank you for making it easy. Taking the fear out of the fix. No big deal
Thanks Al, Mike
Hi Mike ...Ron Star here...just wanted to thank you for being a inspiration to me...I started my new small concrete patch repair business....just did about 10 jobs this month all thanks to you...mostly foundations cracks loose bricks, steps...etc... ...here in Staten island there is a ton of work......Sometimes I watch your videos for hours at a time...Thanks again Mike....
Thanks Ron, those small patch jobs are the best, very little material, no permits, etc, I wish you well, Mike
Thanks, Mike. Greetings from Utah. My brother in Florida is working on something similar on our cousin's crib (I'm 66, still trying to be kool 😂). He ran across your vid and forwarded it to me. You're classic, brother. "Not going to worry about it. No big deal." Love it. Thank you for sharing. This repair will be peace of mind for our cuz. She deserves it.
Thanks Mike, Mike
Thanks Mike I’m a do it yourself er and I learn a lot from your videos.
Thanks, I appreciate it, mike
Love your videos Mike! Very informative and inspiring. Have started developing a fondness for masonry since watching you show how simple and straight forward the work is.
Thanks Daniel, Mike
Wonderful job, Mike.
Thanks Larry, mike
I think that looks pretty good Mike. I've got a small front porch with crumbling cinder blocks I need to do this with this summer.
Thanks Mike, mike
Fix whatcha gotta fix! Love it. ♥️. You’re the Man Mike. Great tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks Barbara, Mike
Mike you are a real tradesman. Nobody wants to work anymore. Love all your videos! Simple approach and practical knowledge which is not taught in our schools today ⛏️ 💯👍 No big deal!
Thanks Mike for your knowledge
Thanks, I appreciate it, Mike
Great job as always Mike. Just what I needed today!. Thanks.
Thanks Dean, mike
Hey Mike,
Great job! (as usual) You are a true artist!
Blessings to you, Kevin
Thanks Kevin, Mike
Your videos have given me many tips as well as the confidence to just try things. I have to replace a 12 inch wide cut from a six foot wide walkway but feel like I can get it done.
Thanks John, I am sure you can, thanks Mike
Great video as usual! You have the best diy masonry instruction on the internet....not to make a big deal out of it.
Thanks Chris, mike
Actually i double checked and the container I had the S mortar in i thought was portland..as a result on that batch i mistakenly made it 1/2 s.mortar:1/2 s.mortar and 2 whole sand..lol the bag on the last batch of s.mortar broke so I threw in in a bucket and mistook it for portland next time round.. I could tell because when i laid the 2 powdersnside by side pirtland has a bit of a darker colour..love your videos helped me a lot ..dealing with an old biulding built in 1945.thank you
Thanks marcs,, I am sure it will work out, thanks , Mike
This is awesome. You're right, the castles have been around a long time. It's as if they knew what they were doing. Thanks.
Thanks again, Mike
glad to catch this vid! thanks for keeping them going. Actually wearing the dark blue tshirt today tooo. Bought one for a buddy that likes this channel too
Thanks Thor, I am honored, I appreciate it, mike
Mike ..... I used your saying working on my porch when things were not going right. I said out loud we're not going to make a big deal about it just threw more cement in the hole add some rock and walked away. Turned out great
Thanks Ryan, very true, thanks Mike
Your videos do help. Thanks for taking the time to make them. Packer in there.
TV thanks Richard, mike
A very useful video.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Piter, mike
not many trades man left like Mike any more 👍 now he definitely old school 🍺👍
Thanks again, Mike
I just kept saying "no big deal" and fixed my foundation. Where I lacked confidence saying "no big deal" gave me the confidence I needed.
Thanks Mary, I knew you could do it, mike
I like that we didnt make a big deal out of it but I also feel mike is giving me confidence I shouldn't have
Thanks Chris, Mike
I can tackle my own foundation repair. I'm sure I'll succeed. It's no big deal. Thanks Mike!
Thanks David, I am sure you will do well, Mike
Your really helping a lot of people thank you 🙏
Thanks, Mike
These are some of your best videos
Thanks again Jim, Mike
Love your videos, Mike.
Thanks tom, mike
I really like this one Mike!
Thanks James, mike
Good job Mike. Keep them coming!
Thanks Flo, mike
The reason why the wall rotted was that the garden bed has no drainage and water is sitting and rotting the wall away. Mike, you may want to suggest adding a pitch away from the foundation walls.
Hi John, I got a video out called "basement water problem solutions " Mike haduck, I usually Been steering them to that, but I usually do make a comment on rain gutters and pitching the land away, I will start doing it more thanks Mike
I have a front porch that is cement and rebar on the sides and wood treads and railings. The cement is crumbling pretty bad near the front step on one side. There isn't a backing, but can I do this same thing with the bricks and stone if there isn't anything behind it? I think it's hollow behind the side concrete. I saw this video and this may just work. The other option is to have someone come out and build new wood stairs in the spring.
Hi mcafton, I have a whole playlist on "concrete step repair" Mike haduck, that should give you some ideas, thanks Mike
Really great job mike always learn something
Thanks Paul, mike
Thanks Mike. I've never done any masonary work, and may never do any. Still love your vids and watch them regularly. All the best.
Thanks Michael, Mike
Absolutely great videos.. Thank you from Arkansas..😊
Thanks Darren, Mike
This is almost as fun to watch as it is to do yourself.
Thanks Mary, that's a good thing, Mike
The box store in my area only had the "Stone Veneer Morter, not the basic "s" morter. would it make a difference?
Don't make a big deal out of it.
There's documentaries on youtube of castles being repaired/refurbished and when they take the oak panelling off on the grand rooms that's what you find, any old rubble or leftover site bricks & boulders packed in and cemented to make the interior walls. They've been standing for hundreds of years as Mike says.
Thanks, very true, Mike
Tailgating with Mike Haduck! Thanks Mike
Thanks James, mike
I know I've heard the witches broom joke from you before, but I don't remember it!
Great content as always, thank you Mike!
You are a good man.
Thanks aus, Mike
The best. Thanks Mike.
Thanks Todd, Mike
Greetings from Baltimore...we see these exact kinds of failing foundations and massive salt damage to concrete..THANKS MIKE
Thanks Bee, mike
Very nice video. Thank you!
Thanks, Mike
Very informative! A lost art perhaps. Old school vs new school. I have always wondered about the different mixes used and when to use them. It made me think back to my childhood, being born in Germany to american parents (my father was stationed there), we lived in Ulm, Germany at one time and there is a Lutheran church named the Ulm Minster, the tallest church in the world. Construction was started in 1377 and is primarily of stone masonry, mainly sandstone, but bricks were used during completion of the structure in the 17-1800's. It stands 530 feet tall. I can remember climbing to the top when I was six or seven years old. You probably would enjoy studying the building itself since it is apparently 100 percent stone, and is still in remarkable condition. One more comment: how have you managed to last so long in such a physically demanding occupation! Remarkable in itself.
Hi Michael, actually I don't do any heavy work anymore, mostly show up on other people's work, sounds like a interesting church, thanks Mike
I'm interested to see what you do with a leaning basement wall.
Hi Chris, depends on how bad it is, sometimes jack up the building and replace it,, I am not a fan of double walls, thanks Mike
nice... the simple fixes are often better... depending on what you are doing.
Thanks Sue, mike
Hey Mike, just want to tell you that you have inspired me to do some small jobs around my own house. On another note, I would like to know what you do with all the wasted mix that falls on the ground? Thanks again for sharing your idea and workmanship.
Thanks David, I bury it if it is not too much or take it to a clean fill site, thanks mike
Thank you Mike 🌷🌷🌷
Thanks Eman, mike
good job mike what is the popcorn finish made od sand and portland also ty
Hi Scott, depends on the job but I used the same mix right thru, thanks mike
Mike, could you post your song "Castle" as a separate video with just the music? Either channel works! I love that song
Thanks, I just made it up, no middle 8, just over and over for a backup, but thanks mike
Hi Mike, I am enjoying your videos. Some Geese flew over today and the long side did in fact have one extra Goose.
Thanks, lol, mike
for first build up - then 2nd coat & final popcorn - why not some sort of longish plastic cutting board at the base? as catch all, to catch fresh material to use -use all? something that you'd just slide along down the line as you go?
Hi James, I could, it takes time and I be tripping over it, the pan works fine, thanks Mike
Did you use the same materials for the parging? I am kind of confused on what to use to parge the wall with. In another video, I saw you using bonding agent into the mix. I got a bag of "s" mix, but I am not sure if I should buy more bags for portland and sand if there is already sand and portland inside the "s" mix bag. Would buying a bag of sand be good enough for the whole small project operation like this?
Hi pandemonium, usually the premix s mortar is fine, if I think I need it a little stronger I might put a trowel full of Portland in a 60lb bad,, I also use the Portland as a bonding agent paint, I wouldn't overthink it, I might use the fast drying cement to save time, thanks Mike
Love it ,”No Big Deal “
Thanks Paddy, Mike
Nice to see your video mike, havent seen one in some time. I hope your well. Godbless mike. Regards rocco in uk
Thanks rocco, God bless, also, mike
One vertical seam at front you left why.?Did I miss that.I use the same methods as you do, I find coming back a problem due to the extra charge on labor..they want to get it done in a day.Getting tight out there.
Hi, that seem was a different foundation and I know it will show a crack so if left it, thanks,mike
Hey Mike would like to see you do more brick 🧱 work , building a chimney or. Small house
Hi Spart,, there is not much call for that anymore, thanks mike
There was a year cinderblocks had bad mix in them, they fell apart from a heavy rain fall, maybe these are from that..
Hi Thunder, also it depended on wss that company you got them from, thanks Mike
I'm curious Mike, would cobbling a mix of stones and bricks, particularly soft bricks, as filler weaken the structural strength? I would think they would crush over time, causing the repair to cave in. Thanks for your helpful videos.
Hi Erik, I never had a problem. In Scandinavia l have videos on whole castles and cathedrals built out of brick, thanks Mike
This is incredible.
Thanks Mike, Mike
Looks Good Mike!
Thanks johnny, mike
I show this video to some friends of mine who do simmilar work. They said what YOU did was rubbish finnish work.
That's ok, they could send me the link to their video,, maybe I will learn something, thanks mike
Awesome video! How can I get a smooth wall finish if I’m doing this for an interior wall? Use a sponge and smooth it out?
Hi Kev, that's usually what I do, I show all techniques. In each video, thanks Mike
Excellent job!
Thanks Adam, Mike
get it wet so it will stick, good stuff...txs for sharing
Thanks Tom, mike
Nice result Mike. Greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks Ram, nice to hear from tha Netherlands, mike
Mike "The Patch" Haduck can patch anything, because it ain't no big deal!!!
Thanks Tiger, mike
I just rebuilt s chimney last week that was leaning over. Come to find out, not a single brick was cemented in anymore and I was able to pull every brick off by hand. I saw almost no cement left and just piles of sand spilling everywhere. How long do you think that chimney has been up there that it came apart that bad and sand was coming out of where the cement used to be?
Hi Joey, I can't tell but I came across the same thing from chimneys built in the 70s ,thanks Mike
