An 85 yo lady, and you charged her next to nothing.. You're a good man Mike. Great video thanks

It's always a pleasure to learn from Mike Haduck. Such an original guy. A real human being. Excellent with his smarts.

I love old school way of doing stuff!! Sad those who know the old school ways of trade are few and far apart these days. Especially those like him who not only know the old school ways but have old school integrity!!!! Helped an elderly lady out....don't see that anymore these days with those who care only about money and possessions :(

I feel very confident that I can do this Mike. You really keep things simple and give hope to people like me who are new to cement work. I'm amazed at how well the new cement blends in with the old. Very nice job!!!

The mud is a great trick i would of never thought it would come out looking that great. 👍👍

Thank you Mike, I always look forward to your video's. Old school methods are like diamonds in the rough. Keep em coming as and when you find the time.

Out of ALL the vids I've seen, I think I learned the most here. No frills, no hickey-nanny machinery. Plain and simple. Thanks Mike, I'm subscribing to your channel.

You're the real MVP for that mud tip 👍👏

Mike, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Your videos have been very helpful. I do appreciate it!

Yes Sir, I always pick something up from your videos. Every time. Thank you so much. Comprende :-)

A true master of the old ways. Your videos have taught me so much

The Lord sent that little old lady an honest man! Love it. Thanks Mike.

Thanks Mike for another awesome video. That was great of you to help her out at very little expense. We need more people like you!

You're a great teacher Mike. Thanks for taking time and passing on your knowledge to us.

I’ve learned a lot from you Mike! Very few guys like you left with such a talent. Masonry is definitely an art form. Thanks for everything!

I am a mason aswell and love watching your videos its always good to see how the older guys did/do it. thanks for passing your knowledge on !

That was a excellent idea with the mud !!! another great video,I learned a lot thanks !!!

Thanks Mike We use to use ashes because sometimes black dirt was hard to find in the south dirt mostly red. I always have liked to watch masons to learn new tricks thanks for passing these on to the younger guys and gals

Mike, you're the man! Shout out to the ant that walking across your camera lens during your first form.

Thanks for sharing the little tricks of the trade Mike. I never get tired of watching your videos as you do a great job and make it look easy.

I started a stairwell/broken wall makeover today. “Ain’t no big deal”, and “not gonna make a big deal outta this”, made the day WONDERFUL. Thank you kind sir!!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your video was the most helpful I have seen. I will be repairing a corner as well as the vertical part of some steps. Thanks again.

Thanks Mike. I’m going to try this on a corner of a porch for my elderly mothers house. I like the mud trick. As you pointed out the repair would stand out after it dried. Best, Mike

Great tip, worked out very well, I'm going to try and remember this one Mike.

Mike, I just finished my front steps with the technique you showed here and it came out great! The mud stain blended the old steps perfectly. Great tutorial and thanks for sharing.

Mike you've been my mentor for concrete work for over 5 years. Thank you

Always pick something up on all of your videos. Huge fan! Keep up the great work, Mike

Hey that was a perfect video, you have a great way of describing everything clearly and showing how to do it with good shots. Also the line "use you sponge to go over it, make it look a little older, and hide your sins" is a hell of a line haha.

Hey Mike, nice to see a guy that loves what he does, my dad was a one of a kind stone mason & loved to work!!

Nice job Mike. Consise and to the point! God bless for watching out for the elderly,!

Real down to earth way of explaining the fix, awesome and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

You made it so much easier for a novice like myself to get the job done fast and looking good. Now I'm binge watching your videos. The tip using mud is awesome. Thanks

love mike man one of the main reason i was able to repair my steps cause of mike thanks brother

All the way from Australia again Mike, thank you for another brilliant lesson, delivered with the cool confidence of a master craftsman. I'm taking it in and will be recalling your wisdom while I'm working in the future. Cheers mate.

Thank you for all your great videos. Great to see a master at work.

Mike, you do amazing work. You have a video for just about every conceivable repair. I've learned a great deal watching some of these...very helpful.

As usual, nice job. I was asking myself something you cleared up in the 'tailgate wrapup' and that was concerning portland painting. And your reasoning was very insightful. Thanks once again Mike.

Just want to let you know that these videos even the small jobs are really helpful and insightful thank you again

Nice work mike and good on you for giving the old lady a break! When so many try and take advantage of the elderly..

Your Step repair and Resurfacing Videos are my favorite.. another Excellent Video!!

I enjoy your down to earth style. I have also learned a lot from you. Thank you.

Thanks for doing these videos.....you're a gentleman and a scholar.

Great job Mike, you got skills. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you for sharing! I have a corner in my driveway that needs repair and this is exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!

My husband and I are enjoying watching one of your older videos. We hope all's well with you. God bless 🙏

Thanks for your kindness Mike,great videos ,very useful !

I discovered you yesterday, I've learnt a lot in two days. The concrete steps need patching here, I do have 900 hours bricklayer mason course but not much experience. Just wanted to say I really appreciate your lessons and hope to learn much more from you. Tysvm for taking your time in making these videos and hope to see more. I live in Montreal, so I understand the weather tips.

Thank you! I got more information about the specific repair I need to do from your video than I got from looking at product websites and talking to people in two hardware stores. My nextdoor neighbor’s roofing contractor drove across our sidewalk with his big truck and cracked two slabs. When my husband notified him, he repaired one slab, but his repair was so ugly, I scraped most of it away before it cured. Before he made the repair, when asked, he said he couldn’t color it to blend in with the old sidewalk. And he didn’t finish the edge to line up with the original edge of the slab; he spanned two slabs with his patch.

The Mud trick is only one of the best tips. Those steps looked like they were always there. Great job!

Hey mike I used your technique with some rapid set cement to patch up steps for a customer. Worked great. Thanks for the video

Love your videos mike keep um coming buddy. I'm learning a lot. God Bless.

I watch them all Mike. Its a pleasure Regards from Spain

your awesome mike! so glad I bumped into your channel!!! I

I haven’t commented on any of your videos before Mike, and I never comment on any videos for that fact but thank you for all the knowledge and wisdom you share with us on this channel. Sounds over the top but you’ve help change my life this year with the masonry I’ve learnt and never went to college to learn it. Really is a pleasure to watch your videos.

This is a great instructional video, Mike. Very informative. BIG thanks for sharing. 👍

Great video! Thank you!

GOLD this video is GOLD this is what i needed to know DUDE YOU ROCK. LOVE the hints..... like slide board dont pull... the mud... just bravo

Awesome teacher that you are Mike !!! Thank you man .

Nice repair! And wiping with the sponge - then with actual mud - really gave a top notch result imo! Thanks

Your videos are awesome! I'm learning so much! Thank you!

Thanks Mike! I'm starting a step patch today. This helps.

Awesome stuff! I learn something from every video and I'm 63, old school, still learning Thanks Mike.. John

Nicely done! Really like your camera on this one, I comprenda' ! Oh yeah, the mud is something really special, old school.

My life would have been totally different with a cool uncle Mike I never found anyone who could explain his technique techniques so eloquently as You Thank You

Thanks Mike. I have never worked with concrete repairs before but you have inspired me....

Never met anyone like you here in Miami, FL. You do a great job and know what you are doing. I am 76 young and afraid of hiring anyone because incompetence prevails. Have learned quite a bit with you ideo. Thank you!

The Micheal Angelo Touch🤣 Like I was never there🤣Love your videos Mr Haduck you bring humor to a hard job as well as Great advice and a understanding of masonry even if it's a cheap fix

Very useful, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge Mike.

Good job Mike,Thanks for the help.

My favorite part was the mud finish. Brilliant!

Mike Haddock, thanks for the tips.

Great work Mike. Thanks. Your a seasoned pro. Thanks

Quite informative, great tips, sure is nice to watch your videos, Thanks for making them

Thank you Mike!. Now I have confidence to repair my bulkhead steps myself.

Great stuff to learn from old school ..thanks for the information Mike

Super informative, thank you for this and the others!

Great tip on the mud Mike, thanks.

Thank you so much for this video~! I was able to repair our porch steps using Quikrete and your instructions. It's not as nice as your work, but it only cost $22, including tools =) I used cheap plastic stuff and it worked fine. I'm not going into the business anytime soon - that was really hard work~! The smallest bags I could find were 60 lbs! But it will likely make the city happy and my dog, who is most important =)

I am almost an old lady, haha and I just learned how to fix my cracking steps. I just subbed. Comprende! Thank you so much, God bless you!

Appreciate all these videos man. I’m a apprentice here in nyc and find these videos useful in learning. Much respect and thanks brother.

Thanks so much, quite informative, I plan to repair a couple of steps soon, thanks again.

Thanks Mike. That was excellent!!

Great job mike I m a mason my self but I have learned a lot from watching your videos best regards from Newyork

Great points, love the idea of the mud.

Just came over to your channel to see who you were after seeing many comments about you on mine! Thanks for posting videos. These would have been very helpful to me before I did my job. Also I couldn’t help but laugh when the bug was crawling all over your camera lens lol.

Sincerest thanks for sharing your knowledge, sir. This video helped me a lot.

Great video Mike! Love the mud.

Your AWESOME Mike !

Thanks Mike for sharing.

Mike - really enjoyed watching this video. Apart from the wisdom you imparted, your humanity shone thru. With all the trolling and gratuitous impertinence on the internet, sometimes you wonder what happened to grace and niceties. Thanks for reminding us that we can help each other.

I really like your mud stain trick. So simple but very effective.

Nice tip Mike. Thank you.

Great video, straight to the point, no blah, blah blah. I just subscribed.

Thanks much taking the time to make this vid. I learned a lot for the several repairs I must do. The staining was brilliant - yeah it was, although you may think "hey, it's just good work" .
