- I form and pour the top of a concrete stoop (Porch top) then take off the forms and patch it up, All my videos are my ways and ideas, I always suggest anyone doing any type of work to consult professional help. www.amazon.com...

I use alot of your tips.youre doing a great job passing on skills
Thanks William, Mike
Great video. Very helpful. You can tell this guy has been doing this for a long time, because he knows how much effort to put into each part of the job. No over engineering here!
Thanks Charles, mike
Mike Haduck….the Bob Ross of masonry.
Thanks Richard, Mike
I have worked in remodeling for a long time, I've learned how to do several trades, your the best teacher out there, would have worked for you for free, great guy, great attitude
Thanks John, I appreciate that, Mike
Quarantined? No problem. Mike Haduck’s on CZcams! Homeschooling at its best.
Thanks, Mike
I learned from this two videos. I have a stoop similar and I need to do something with it because it has some cracks and water leaks into the well room right below. I'm in Minnesota where it's cold. These two videos are most helpful as I know zero about concrete work but I know more after watching this video. Thanks for very informative video.
Thanks moc,,, Mike
Great video as always, Mike. You know you love that jacket. I have a thermal lined light work jacket that was given to me by my builder neighbor. From Sears in the 1970's. Beat to heck, ripped and I wear it all the time. So you ain't foolin' me that you'll replace it. It's like your second skin.Nothing like comfort when you're working. Be safe, stay well, God Bless you.
Thanks Dolores, your probably right, lol, God bless also, Mike
The way you explain things like a story telling grabs viewers full attention. Just love your videos
Thanks srir,mike
Never gets old watching someone float some nice fresh mud! I work on concrete at skateparks and the kids love it when I have them toss a pile on and I say ‘Now watch it disappear...’ and float it nice and smooth.
Thank, mike
Mike, always a pleasure. Thanks! Dave

Thanks, I will have to use that one, Mike
Thank u Mike 4 giving me confidence 2 try all this, incredibly adaptation with the forms,stay safe!
Thanks James, mike
Saw the comment about work coat. You should see mine !! my wife grabbed me one as well the other day for this coming winter. I’m in the north east as well. Massachusetts. I just want to thank you mike for the knowledge sharing !!
Thanks michael, I appreciate it mike
Great videos as always Mike. Can you please do a series on anchors? Your comment about "Concrete Nail" is great. Looks like you showed the carpenter how to save some time and money without using a masonry bit and Tapcon. Would love to see the types of anchors you can use on block, stone, mortar joints, etc... for hanging decorations on a building, shelves in a basement or block garage, picture on a fireplace...anything you think would be good. My brick house built in '64 still has steel nails in the brick joint holding up gutter downspouts. Thanks again for the videos!
Thanks Lucas, I will put it on my list, Mike
Why do I like this guy so much
The Girls thinks he looks like Harrison Ford?
Mike you are my inspiration. Your explanations on how to do these things are pure n simple, a to z without all the unnecessary complexities
Thanks Texs, mike
Like the detail in this one. Didn't notice the coat until you said something. Glad you support the salvation army.
thanks JIm, mike
God bless Mike Haduck!
GOD Bless you also Georgio, Mike
Thanks Mike, I love the old school techniques you use. Explaining each step is important to the average homeowner.
Thanks Keven, Mike
always watch your vids because you remind me of my dad, he was brickie best wishes from the uk
Thanks Chris, mike
thanks again! looks like those porter cable drills didn't start smoking tooo .. thats a plus. Always fun to watch forms getting put in ... because that's when the fun starts. looks like your jacket needed another pocket right there next to your other pocket.
thanks Thor, very true, lol, mike
Best mason on CZcams
Thanks Mega, mike
Mike, you remind me of my dad. He took pride in his work also. Thank you.
Thanks Danny, Mike
Good idea on a new winter work coat - that one has probably seen a lot of days hard work, and is ready for retirement. Another great video! Thank you Mike!
Thanks aus, Mike
It’s almost 1am and I am still watching…great stuff. I want to be just like Mike when I grow up!!
Hi Lasater, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, lol, Mike
Thanks Mike, and thanks for making the tool list on Amazon. That's a good idea so people can bookmark you tool list and come back later when they need something.
Thanks Bob, mike
You, sir, are such an awesome source of knowledge for all of us out here!
I have learned so much from you! 🙏
May The Lord keep on blessing you!
Thanks Bravo, God bless also, Mike
Thanks Mike. Great videos. You are a real pro and just watching is not only entertaining but educational.
Thanks Kujtim,, Mike
Hi Mike, thanks for taking the reply,really have found your videos helpful with the odd project, also like your old school way, and that banjo sounds awesome
Thanks Craig, mike
Nice way to contribute and get a good work jacket... Learn more than Masonry from Mike....
Thanks Ernie, mike
Carpenter needs a rotohammer. Love the vids mike.
thanks Kal, mike
Mike thank you very much for what you do and taking the time to upload it here sharing your knowledge. I love the Bible verse keep it up!
Thanks Lou, I appreciate it, a lot of people been asking for more bible proverbs so that's a good thing, thanks Mike
I like the new used winter coat Mike. Nice work once again!!!
Thanks Dave, mike
I am not a wise man but I love your videos. That porch (yes I am.from Texas) reminds me of the one I grew up with and it didn't have any cracks either. I love old school because it just flat works. Take care old friend. I look forward to the next video.
Thanks James, mike
Great info , just like all of your other videos. Thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge. You have given me the courage to repair my brick chimney & build new front stoop, stairs & walkway. I own a brick home.
Thank you for giving me the knowledge & courage to attack these projects.
Sure wish you lived out here in Montana, as we have a shortage of qualified & experienced Brick, Block , & Masonry talent.
Rick
Thanks Rick, I appreciate it, I am happy your getting it done, mike
Wow mike I love seeing u have almost 100k subs .. you totally deserve it .. ❤️
Thanks, that's would be nice, I appreciate it, mike
Just dropping in to say stay safe Mike, your family and friends.
Thanks. I hope you and your family also, mike
Thanks very much. Very nice work.
Thanks Roger, Mike
Great mentor.
Thanks Kenneth, Mike
I always enjoy your videos, can't wait to build my first wall or something out of concrete, keep 'em coming!
Thanks Harry, Mike
It's always a good time watching your videos Mike
Thanks Screch, Mike
hahaha at 9:32 when you mentioned your torn winter jacket, I was concentrated on what you were doing and did not notice it. I could not take my eyes away from it afterwards 😁
Thanks Joseph, yes I didn't notice it till I was editing, thanks mike
You're so awesome..easy to follow, put acrossed so plainly make it easy to trust myself, Thankyou so much
Thanks sharon, Mike
Great tips. Taught me how to work with concrete through CZcams videos.
You would be awesome to work with.
Thanks Miles, I appreciate it, mike
Thanks Mike. Another great/helpful teaching as usual.
Thanks Marshal, Mike
Great video Mike. Very informative. Always fighting the job and the weather up North it seems.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who needs a new used coat.
I use lots of duct tape on my old ones.
Best wishes and stay safe.
Thanks, I agree, mike
Nice work
Thanks, Mike
Buddy, these videos are absolutely amazing. This information is priceless. Thank you! Greetings from Pittsburgh :)
Thanks, mike
Great videos thank you
Thanks Joe, mike
nice job!! looked great when finished :-) thanks for the info.
Thanks Sue, Mike
The coat looks fine to me. I would just have my Grandmother patch it. She’s got an old cast iron sewing machine and we still have coats in the family that were purchased in the 1940s. Seriously. She’s really good at patching clothes so they’re strong and don’t look half bad. Depression Era mentality, but it works, lol.
Thanks Lee, very true, I take them as far as they go, lol, Mike
Can't wait for the next video to see what jacket you got!
Thanks Boots, Mike
Good video Mike. Thank you for sharing your wisdom 👍
Thanks Dan, Mike
All the potential problems in this video turned out to be no big deal. Nice.
Have a tremendous day!
Thanks Joshy, Mike
when you go to the sallybash for a new used jacket get one for me too. I like your jackets. Great vid asusual ty
Thanks, I will, Mike
Great Quality work ! Mike 😎👍
Thanks, Tim, Mike
Thak You Mike ❤️
Thanks, Mike
Muy buen trabajo... GOOD JOB !!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks Cecy,,,Mike
Thank you Mike🌿🌿🌿
Thanks Eman. Mike
Great video like always, Mike. I hope you're staying safe out there in Luzerne Co. Things haven't been too bad in Cambria yet.
Hi C. Yea everything is getting Locked down, thanks Mike
Now I know what to do when the siding gets in the way. Thanks!
Thanks, Mike
It's a very sinful subject and very informative. Thankyou. I presume there will be steps to get you off this stoop without breaking a foot or a leg.
Thanks Carolie, yep they are building the out of wood, thanks Mike
I was a temp for a company that poured cement pads for lighting. On their wood forms we sprayed diesel fuel and not knowing I ask why diesel, they said because it prevented the concrete from sticking to the wood.
Doesn't seem to be much difference (water or diesel).
Hi larry, I sometimes oil the forms but I knew I had to go over it and wanted it to stick, thanks mike
Great work Mike.
Thank you
Thanks, Mike
Mike, Another great video!
Thanks Joe, mike
The jacket it good because the costumer sees you are pore and it works that give you the job and a big tip
Thanks Zeath, very true, lol. Mike
Mike I enjoy your videos bc u actually take the time to explain. U remind me of my father in law. God rest his soul. He didn’t know squat about masonry. But u keep it real, keep simple and the talking helps take away doubts. I wish I had the chance to work under u for a time. Ur a great person.
I like to know what u charge for block steps, and the like? Just curious.
Hi Nicholas, that was for a contractor who supplied everything so just charged him hourly, mike
@ 13:37 you say: cover all those sins... Haha... Another Great Video... Thank you so much for making this Great video...
Thanks again John, mike
Mike, are you accepting offers on the coat? I've been looking for something that I can wear all year and those ventilation holes might do the trick. Let me know!
Thanks Brian, I been getting lots of offers might be starting my own fashion design, thanks mike
Glory be to God always......
Thanks Jimmy, God bless, Mike
Looks good. Would have been nice to see a little more substantial flashing tucked up under the siding but hey.... every area of the country is different. Great job making the slab "float" ....I have had several porches grab the top course. It's hard explaining that crack to the homeowner
hi gibson, the porch was under a carport so no worries there but if it was out in the weather yea, thanks mike
You are very funny Mike
Thanks AD, Mike
Mike I was gonna shoot you a message earlier. Hope you’re staying in doors and out of virus trouble. Look forward to seeing more videos for ya! God speed
thanks Domenic, Mike
Mike, you are awesome. I have a question for you because you seem to be the best. Our front porch step face needs to be repaired. I saw you put a light coat of Portland cement on to hide the mistakes. Will the Portland cement when it dries match the older cement?
Check out my video " concrete patches (part 5) mike haduck, that might help, thanks mike
I know this is an older video, but I'm about to tackle a similar project. My question is when you laid your block, you laid three sides and I'm guessing your fourth side was the foundation wall. My job is at a house on brick piers so the back of my horse-shoe is open. Should I just lay four sides of block and fill it in? And in my opinion, that coat is just to where is getting comfortable, no need to replace it.
Hi John , maybe a steel beam or concrete lentil or a concrete arch on back end, but everything depends on how big it is, I can't really say over the internet, thanks mike
I saw in a couple videos where you painted a new concrete slab with mud to try to get it dark to match the existing slab. Would another alternative be to paint both the old and new slabs with the Portland paint mix you used in this video? Would that make the two slabs match (old and new)? Love the videos keep it up!!
Hi Jeff, I did videos, :"concrete driveway resurfacing" where I do that, it's a covering and depression Era cheap go over, usually last a year or two, your choice if you think it's right for you, thanks, Mike
I didn’t know u could use Portland as a spackle paste. Can u use this a resurfacer instead of buying the quickcrete resurfacer product that they sell in the big box stores? Love the videos my brother, cheers!!
Hi Nich. I usually use but always on masonry, thanks Mike
Hide the sins. No big deal. Love it.
Thank, Mike
Great videos Mike!
How do you make sure the concrete slants or slopes away from the house so when it rains the rain doesn’t fall towards the house?
Hi Laybish, that's always one of the first questions I ask, Which way is the water going to go? and I pitch it away from the door, thanks Mike
Get some use motor oil to soke the form boards next time and it won't pull the finish off
Hi Myron, your right, with the fast drying it usually don't happen but with cold weather it changes everything, thanks, Mike
It doesn't matter what tool you use, it's how you use the tool.
Thanks Vintage, very true, Mike
I thought is was just a coat of paint that hid our sins. Now I can add a slurry of portland to my arsenal.
thanks, M J. yep works good depends on the job, mike
M. J.
I have a similar approach when welding. A good coat of paint will double any joint's strength!
Why would you possibly need a nearly 6" thick slab for the top?
hi Fido, depends on what your are doing and where it is , thanks mike
Hi Mike, I love your videos. Does it matter what type of plastic you use as your barrier between the concrete and the block?
Hi Daryl, this job was covered so it was mostly used to keep the concrete from sticking to anything, everything depends on the job, thanks Mike
Great :-) :-) :-) :-)
Thanks albert, Mike
Hi Mike, I don't think my local store carries the Portland Cement. I have a verticle cement collar to repair on my front steps. Can I use Rapid Set Cement All to do the repair? I live in NY and the repair will be exposed to the weather.
Hi J W, I got a playlist out on concrete step repair, something in there should work, thanks Mike
Gotta work fast in 40 degree weather. Awesome 👏🏻. Do you ever pour a little anti-freeze in the water? Or, Windshield washer fluid?
Hi Re, no , the old days calcium, but I hate the cold weather, lol. Mike
Hi Mike, I have a covered screen porch in the back had cement guy come in he leveled the concrete it was off by about 6". I think he used too much sand in the mix. Now it's leveled but sand keeps coming up when i sweep the concrete. Will Portland Cement bond all together if I brush it on?
Hi Joe, it's hard to say, maybe do a little sample in corner and see, everything depends, thanks mike
Hey Mike I love your videos the only problem that I have is that they're too shortcan you think about trying to make a longer video I love the videos but they're normally from 7 to 10 minutes just an idea
Hi Chris, I notice they been getting longer, I appreciate it, Mike
Just a question. What about a tin moisture barrier between the pad and the house?
Hi Craig, I am sure there was, thanks Mike
What type of trowel did you use to apply the Portland cement slurry to the sins before you used a sponge?
Hi David, whatever is on hand, anything that works, thanks mike
Old school pools, were they two parts sand and one part Portland then sculpted and burnished, or?
Hi Mike, until the late 20s you would never see concret porches, they were either stone or mostly wood, but when portland came around it was all basically the same, my opinion , thanks mike
Great video Mike. If you are concerned with weather, how would you properly flash against house?
Hi Vincent, the whole idea would to keep the water away from the wood, that's best as I could describe it, mike
When putting plastic under the cement, is there a chance that it could move since it’s not bonded to anything?
Hi Frank, I never seen it happen, the concrete has to expand and contract , thanks Mike
Cool video Mike. My stoop is just like that one that you saved and i have a newbie question for you sir. There are large chunks missing from the side of the foundation and the rest of the stoop has a coat of porch paint on it. I can handle fillingbin the missing chunks with thick mortar but for the rest of the stoop, can the portland paint trick be used over a coat of porch paint or should i grind off the paint first?
Hi Jesse, I would say it has to be ground off or just patch it up and get a good stucco paint and re do it that way, I hope it helps mike
@@MikeHaduck thanks mike i like the sound of patching and then stucco paint i will do that! Sounds a lot better than grinding the whole stoop with my dewalt grinder!
Mike, at the 11:00 mark, could you explain the process at that stage with the trowel? Thanks.
Hi Candy, I was just using the level as a strait edge to make sure it was straight and a pitch so water rolls off, thanks, mike
@@MikeHaduck OK. Thanks!
Never trust a trades person with out a spec of dirt on them one look at that coat and you know your on to a winner
Hi man, also never trust a trades person who dosent have years of experience, that's mike
@@MikeHaduck I'm the same way Mike have a pair of work pants ,Snickers there held together with patches but haven't failed me yet seriously tho can tell alot about a person by the wear on the tools top quality educational material turning an Electrician into a Mason one video at a time thanks again
What would you have done differently if this was exposed to elements ?
Hi Mike, Probably like I did the concrete porch videos, thanks Mike
👍
thanks Pete, Mike
Lol, @ 18:00 “and in those videos I shit, I show”...
? Thanks , Mike
I don't think I've ever questioned your methods. Why bolt the form to the concrete when it seems like holding the form up off the ground with wood all around would save a lot of time? I'm not a professional so I'm sure there's a reason. I do know I can be lazy and you know what they say, if you want to find out the easiest way of doing something give it to someone who's lazy 😜
Hi Kelly, there are times when I do that but I've seen forms move when they are not in some way connected around on top, it was not that big where I had to brace it, thanks Mike
Mike Haduck Masonry makes sense. When you're working with concrete it's always a race against it setting. Love your videos by the way. They have a chill matter of fact tone I'm always in the mood to watch. Nice contrast from the typical in your face CZcams videos out there.
