  Using the correct mortar is the most important thing you can do when caring for historic masonry. That’s because historic bricks are inherently soft. The mortar that cushions one brick from another needs to be softer and more permeable than the brick itself. Otherwise, the brick won’t be able to slowly flex during the normal freeze/thaw and expansion and contraction cycles of the seasons.<br><br>Source: OLD HOUSE

  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 &quot;no big deal&quot;, but it&apos;s still a lot of work and there is always a technique. Thanks for showing us Mike.

  Love your simple informative detailed videos. I&apos;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&apos;ll try tuckpointing. Thank you, you&apos;re amazing and saved me a thousand dollars. Mrs. Cicero

  One thing I learn from Mike Haduck is mortar should be softer than the brick. &nbsp; Why, brick wall moves. &nbsp;If the joins are harder than the brick, they can&apos;t move and leave air gaps. &nbsp;So, don&apos;t repoint with stuff that is harder the the bricks. &nbsp;Thanks Mike, but I learn this a little too late.
