I repair some brick on a old brick building, All my videos are my ways and ideas, I always suggest anyone doing any type of work to consult professional help.

You are such a good teacher...you say what to do and, just as important, you say what not to do! This repairing brick might be what you call "no big deal", but it's still a lot of work and there is always a technique. Thanks for showing us Mike.

Love your simple informative detailed videos. I'm a 78 yr old not handy lady. Unbelievable but I fixed my broken cement stairs and did a great job thanks to your videos. Next, I'll try tuckpointing. Thank you, you're amazing and saved me a thousand dollars. Mrs. Cicero

Constantly watching and rewatching your videos. I enjoy practicing on my house in Michigan. Definitely something about masonry work that leaves an obsession. Thankful of your media abilities and masonry profession. Keep sharing, it's appreciated.

Love this guy, he's the Bob Ross of brick laying.

Hello from the u.k.
You are the Bob Ross of builders!
I’m 65 now, and served my apprenticeship as a bricklayer
from age15 to 21, you mirrored my repair job on a long pub wall.
I did when I was about 20, it was 50 yards long and 6 foot high
and in bad shape.
Took me forever, the boss used to drop me off early and pick me up at dark
and the temperature was around freezing all week!
Moved from that company after I served my time, looking for building
Work in the local paper, and said to my dad “looks like they are taking people
on to build a hospital in poland” and he said “ you know I’ve been a bricklayer
all my life.
And my father and grandfather, before him get out of it it’ll wreck you physically
Over time”
A couple of my dads cousins who were also bricklayers went over to New York,
And then on to San Francisco, to get work after the earthquake.
Took his advice, started work in one of your u.s. owned u.k.based car assembly
Plants, warm in winter, air con in summer, retired at 55 with pension no regrets
Still find the building lark fascinating, still have plenty mates that still do it.

When we had to patch up some old brickwork in our 1891 mansion we are restoring we used type N mortar and then used hot lime mortar to do the final pointing. It is an inside job so it matched the other part of the wall and shouldn't deteriorate. Thanks for the tips and tricks.

That’s awesome Mike! I love the look of the old brick too. Even if it’s crumbly looking. Maybe you just found a new architectural type facade artwork utilizing existing but decrepit structural elements
