@@MikeHaduck Thank you for replying. I am so old school in my circumstance that I use wood wedges to split wood and rocks all the time to cut and hammer and so on. My life here at SkyCastle is very tough but so glorious. All off grid. I've built a four story proper castle from concrete by myself w/ portland and a one hundred ft. long bridge to cross the moat. Fourteen years working w/ little more than 'common sence'. Your vids help inspire my so much. I have been afraid of stucco which is how I found you and use you vids for inspiration, knowledge and now entertainment. Thank you. Soon I'll do a rock wall. Your my kinda mason. pb. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-32CTlBZ_DHI.html

@@MikeHaduck ◄ Genesis 11:3 ► "And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar." bitumen was used ? any practical application? I'm waiting for your comment ;) Greetings

Hi Mike, cement window wells around are always a problem, I usually tell everyone to go galvanized, I hope it helps, mike

Good Proverb, I got to add that to the list, thanks Mike

Thanks Jim, mike

Hi, Actually my cousin had a video camera at the time and we wanted to get some footage on the job, Mike

Hi Norvigos. I dont have one specific, next part I will, usually they come out of the quarry near flat, and to trim the top you use a point chisel, thanks mile

Hi, just a regular grinding wheel I use in stone sometimes metal, thanks Mike

Hi Stephen, I agree, thanks mike

Hi, you can buy them at the box stores, or I have a Amazon site that has them, thanks Mike

​@Mike Haduck Masonry Thanks Mike. Is it an angle grinder, I didn't see the attachment on there though, what's it called?

Thanks JR, Mike

Thanks Jim, very true, mike

Hi Minimo, too many laws and rules and complications, I agree, I am getting ready to work on that video, about cement, thanks mike

Hi yopa, that's a good question, I haven't done a marble job in years, Mike

Hi matt, I got that affiliate site but you can get them at any hardware store, ask for diamond blades, mike

Hi Super, they are much better but sooner or later they fail also, thanks Mike

Thanks Rocco, very true, Mike

Thanks Savio, very true, mike

Hi mu,,, I agree, Mike

@@MikeHaduck - I followed your tip to cover the concrete mix bags. I live in the Central Valley in Calif., and it rarely rains. I went to the store yesterday and bought some bags of 80 lb. Sacrete "High Strength 5000 Plus Concrete Mix", and left them in the pick up. And I remembered you said cover your bags, so I covered them, and it rained, and rained hard, and even hailed, and rained some more. The bags seem to be still dry. I appreciate your videos and have watched many of them. I like to eat while I watch them because it is very satisfying to eat and watch somebody work. I've learned a lot. I want to mention Easter Island. The Rapa Nui people built structures on Easter Island that mimic Macho Pichu. The Chilean I was renting from thought there might be some connection between the people who built Machu Pichu and Easter Island. I don't think so. I think it's natural to fit big blocks tightly because they didn't have mortar and lave is easy to shape. Watching you working stone with hand tools further convinced me of this.

Thanks mu, I agree, that rock is easy to shape, mike

Hi Mario, every once and a while, thanks Mike

Thanks beckner, mike

Hi Yadda, half a dozen in one hand or 6 on the other, lol, mike
