Chris Bernhardt Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 With masonry, for example chimneys, how much deterioration in mortar joints is too much to the point a chimney or wall needs to be rebuilt? I've read that tuck pointing the full brick depth creates a joint inferior to that of laying brick an mortar. Chris, Oregon
randynavarro Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 On chimneys, its pretty easy for me to make an educated call whether to re-point or re-build. I don't think I've come across a wall bad enough for me to call for re-build. Obviously, chimneys wear a lot faster than walls. Of course, this is wood country. Other mason-heads (Kurt) might have different input. Did I just call Kurt a mason-head?
