Brick Repair How to Remove Milk chute livonia michigan.wmv

[mjzraz]

I have used a hammer drill chisel like this before and cracked joints like a stair step away from the repair area. Once a brick has a crack in the mortar joints does it need to be removed or can the mortar be cut back and just tuck pointed? Seems like the more bricks I cut out the bigger the cracks and the more bricks are involved

any one know the best way to match mortar color with existing wall?

I am not sure that a wrecking bar is the proper tool for removing the milk chute. A diamond blade would have allowed removal of brick without needing an impact chisel or wrecking bar. Using those tools are a prescription for disaster.

why would he put gray motar in that old brick wall? He used the messiest technique possible for someone that says not make a mess.

woulda done less damage if he used c4.

Not sure what the reason would be to remove it... it was built with the house, why not leave it? Even tho it may not be used anymore, what a conversation piece...
