Hi Richard, I never use type s for sidewalk repairs, I only use sand and Portland or a fast drying product, my opinion, , I have videos on " concrete repair" Mike haduck, thanks Mike

Thanks, Mike

Thanks Jonathan, Mike

Thanks al, I am sure you will do fine, thanks Mike

So I have been searching for an answer to a couple of questions and it sounds like you may be able to help me. I have to repair the joints of a stone wall here in Ct. The stones appear to be mostly grabite but there are a lot of light tan comors and yellow in the wall. The original material used to fill the joints appears to be a very sandy mixture, it is yellowish in color and you can see the grains of sand. I keed to match this as closely as possible but I'm not sure how to do it properly. I have used straight type s before but it dries to a color that is still very dark grey, almost blueish. What can I do to get the color closer to that off white, tanish/yellowish beach sand like color? Can sand be mixed with pre mix type s or type n mortar?

Thanks Orman, I have a playlist on chimney repair, and others on repoiting brickwork, that might help. Thanks Mike

@@MikeHaduck My main concern is how far down I need to take the chimney to do a proper repair. The mortar crumbles in my hand. I dressed the bricks up with a cold chisel and a hammer yesterday and took it down until the mortar was hard and seemed to be good quality(that is what made sense to me at least). Someone at some point did a little repair but they really just slapped 1/8" of new mortar on the side and called it a day.

Thanks Max, I appreciate hearing that, Mike

Hi Max, I’m in Boston working on a fieldstone repointing. Do you use type S for this? What are your thoughts?

Thanks sky, Mike

You look like Joe Namath.I’m 70 still doing construction keep it up pal. I learned from the greatest generation. My teachers growing up I watched and listen. I can remember my Dad buying a 80lb Portland for $.25 early 1960. Your passing on great knowledge. Thanks.

My dad is a retired Mason [Boston concrete floor finishing LEGEND], 😅he had me hand mix concrete for home projects. I learned the lime, Portland cement, sand mix ratio

Hi Dale, I have a video out called " lime ,mortar or potland " what should I use? Mike haduck, thanks

There's a big difference between hydrated lime and natural hydraulic lime. Look into this it will clear up confusion between what's sold here in America and what's being used in Europe. Only place I know to get NHL here is from limeworks in lancastor PA. Hydrated lime is more so just a workability agent in Portland based mortar. Hot lime that has been slaked is a different chemical makeup. Hydrated lime has is lime that had enough water added to then dry it into a powder. Read up on this.

Thanks Mike

Sounds like a cold house

I live in sault ste marie and my aunt lives in a stone house from 1881 and it beautiful but has a musty smell which is common with real stone houses

Hi Mikey, it's true, guys are waiting in line to get concrete around here, Mike

we got a note on the plaster yard wall Holcum is going to stop supplying the S-type

Thanks johnathan, Mike

Thanks Matt, Mike

That's what I did as well in the Northeast. From what I researched type S contains additives to help it adhere and gives it more flexibility. House built in 1870.
