I rip out old brick steps with stone treads and replace the brick with Pennsylvania blue stone. All my videos are my ways and ideas, I always suggest anyone doing any type of work to consult professional help.

If there is one lesson I have learned from Mike Haduck, it's that it's not a big deal and I shouldn't make a project out of it. Thanks, Mike!

Hi Patrick, on these outside steps I used ,1 part portland to 2 mason sand, bluestone is hard and the weather would kill mortar, but a soft limestone I might get away with s mortar if repoiting, thanks Mike

Hi Mike, I have a question. Last summer I restored 2 stone outdoor grills and a stone picnic area at a city park. The picnic area has walls about waist high, is covered by a roof, and also has a stone fireplace/grill. Built in the early '30s I feel pretty sure THE CCC built them. The mortar used though had Type M strength. This summer I have a project that was also built in the 30s, and is near that city park. Limestone was used on both projects. This summers project has 4 stone columns supporting a cement arch. The mortar used on the current restoration is exactly the same as the park mortar.....type m strength, granular looking mortar. No lime in either project. The old local historian says gunite was used on the arch. Never seen mortar like this before. What gives?

@MikeHaduck 13 күн бұрын

Hi Patrick, I can't say, every mason up to the late 90s used their own mix for their area, this type n,m,s, confused everybody, I show what I used in each of my videos for each of my products in pa, that's the best I can do, Mike
