GLASS BLOCKS IN BASEMENT WINDOWS (Part 2) Mike Haduck 

You make everything look so easy. I think I over think, and over engineer my jobs sometimes lol. Lately I've been telling myself "No big deal just get it done."

I really enjoy learning about masonry and repair from you Mike. You’re an excellent teacher and I appreciate how you don’t intimidate us viewers with technical jargon and over-complicated instructions. You give me invaluable knowledge and confidence that I can complete these tasks myself. They won’t be as fast or look as good as yours but thanks to you I can tackle them. Keep making videos! Thanks Mike.

The grunting and groaning is so funny. Thanks for a very informative video.

Thanks Mike, you're a good teacher. You inspired me to do some of my own masonry repairs. I follow your advice and lay it out dry, use the right cement/mortar, and I always get it wet first. Works every time. Keep up the good work.

Great video. Thank you for getting the plumber to talk a little bit about his work, too.

I watched video and could not stop until finished. It's relaxing just like watching that painter who didn't say much when he painted the portraits.

Short, simple, and sweet, plus satisfying.

Another great video, thank u Mike. You have taught me so much!

Thanks for the show and tell Mike...you are a master instructor!!!!

Very nice job Mike, as per usual.

Great job Mike!

I have learned so much from you, Mike. Your work is so professional, it always looks so clean and nice.

So simple.... Job done. Awesomeness!

Nice one Mike....simple no fear upgrade.

Nice work Mike

Good job thanks Mike!

This looks nice, I kept getting worried when the concrete got on the windows that it would set there but everything worked out at the end. Thanks for the video.

Nice job mike

Those glass blocks make me think of Florida when people used to put them inside in bathrooms.

nice video.... looked great when it was done. Interesting hearing from the plumber as well.

Mike u inspire me.down.2 earth pro.i will attempt glass block windows in my basement Best 2 u Mike.thanks

Good stuff thanks!

Another excellent masonry job by the master. Bravo 👏

Good job.

Simplicity is so poetic.

Hi Mike. Hi from a mason/musician in Southern Ontario. I've had some success from some of your tips. I love the sponges, I am halfway done a stone job and man o man do the stones POP because they are so clean... looks better than my usual rubber ball technique (I didn't steal the sponges from my brother in law's car when he wasn't looking-I took from a couch at the side of the road!). I haven't had much luck with the "Portland- paint-sin-hiding" technique but I haven't given up on the idea yet. Anyway, keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing these videos.

Neat job!

Great vid azusual

Seamless!

Nice Mike, I've been showing your videos to my new students this year and they are wondering when they will meet you.

Great results! ....13

Thank you Mike, Another great instructive tutorial . There must have been a reason for no insulation around the pipe ?

Thanks for making it look much more easy. Sure it's an art and it takes many thousand of hours to get a good handle on things but when you are a homeowner and are broke you have to make it. That's what I do and people like you on RU-vid help me out greatly. Any idea where I can get these screens for PVC pipe. I need something like that. I'd rather buy then try to cut out myself. Thanks !!!

I've learned so much from your videos, Mike. When you block something up like this, do you have to make sure it's airtight? Do you ever go back and have to add some more concrete because there are air gaps? Thanks for posting these videos.

Great video Mike, as always. Can you answer a quick question if time permits? I want to redo joints (repointing). I saw you adding a synthetic fibre to the mortar in one of your videos. Do you think adding fibre to the repointing mix can help? Weather condition is same a yours - Ontario, just on the other side of lake Erie from you. All the best to you and your dad!

Hi mike good job as always but the boiler? Its for hot water ? Tell me the model of that machine thanks if its possible

Master

Can you use any type of mortar with glass blocks? Sales person in home depot said only glass block mortar. Also Can you cut glass blocks to fit, or is that never done? I see they have them made in different sizes, although that may require ordering in advance.

Mike, We gotta wait until the rain stops.

He is Not in the yellow pages but he did create a website with those pipes I bet jha.Nice job Guys.

Hmm! I would have put the two pipes down the bottom with 4 glass bricks across the top Thus enabling more light into the space!

Could have got smaller glass blocks instead of the large brick, would have let in more light. Seem pretty skimpy on your mortar, seems like there’s going to be air pockets around the brick and glass block, but I guess it doesn’t matter as long as it’s sealed up.

Whenever I do a job I tell them my names Mike Haduck lol

Scuppernong or a domesticated green variety ? The abundant clusters of grapes hanging around you in your recap location . I’m gonna work on getting some goddesses to feed them to you... for the Greek/Roman world tour! Take care my brother

13:30 "I had a mason help me"!!!

👍

I love your "aint no big deal".... but I'm thinking something that makes you say "this is a big deal" would make a very interesting video!! :)

I would have thought your plumber buddy would have walked away while you got the phone call but we know how plumbers are

And that's how you kill a window

His phone call

Could have knocked out the bottom vent and install more glass block.

The plumber should have installed an electric water heater instead of a dumb power vent. The BS people on efficiency on old houses saying a power vent furnace is more efficient than a fluted one lol. The owner is lucky they will get 10 years out of those combi boilers.

Goulash. LOL

yellow pages? who uses those anymore? word of mouth for good workmen.

Great work Mike.
