I am working on a project where a subbed mason is building a chimney.
My customer noticed it has a twist in it and isn't parallel with the roof ridge.
Is was done today, would it be possible for them to take it down to the roof line and try again or would the mortar be too far set?
This was an old chimney rebuilt from just below the roof.

Should be able to smooth yank it. Do you have a cum a long?

 

[wrenchmaster]

Are you serious???

 

[Warren]

subbed mason huh??

Gee I'm not a detective but.........

 

[Crock]

Are you serious???

Oh hell yes, when mortar is in the critical 3 day stage you can manipulate it like a junior high girls bra strap.

 

[wrenchmaster]

Can someone seroiusly help me out here?
Is taking it down out of the question without destroying
all the brick. It was down today and I can have them take it down tomorrow.
What are your thoughts??

Your funny!!!

Seriously, if you were faced with this what would you have them do?

It is a 2 1/2 foot tall 1" x 2" chimney that is slightly twisted and you can see
it at the top mostly. The are supposed to install three stepped out courses tomorrow.

Why the jabs???

I could really use some help. I know little about masonry work and the
characteristics of mortar. The twist is pretty bad and I need to get it fixed.

 

[Warren]

How exactly are you responsible for this?? Why the concern?

 

[Dan_Watson]

Why do you need to get it fixed?

Isn't it obvious? You got a sub or you....who knows, that has bad craftmanship......rip it down.....duh??

Find somebody that can do it right.

 

[wrenchmaster]

Because I hired him and my customer on the project is pissed and wants it fixed.

 

[Dan_Watson]

Sounds like you need to hire someone competent and fire the current sub.
