OT - reclaiming bricks
I know this isn't really on topic for this group, but I'm sure there
will be people here who can point me in the right direction because it is related. I just finished taking down a brick wall on the front of my house because it was leaning dangerously over the pavement - I discovered it was badly constructed, but also had roots growing through it and between the layers of bricks, from a shrub that a predecessor had planted all along it to make a hedge. Anyway I've pulled the hedge out and now want to rebuild the wall using the same bricks. I've been chiselling away with lump hammer and bolster chisel to remove the mortar, but have decided to try to find if I can hire some sort of electric chisel device because there are a LOT of bricks. I'd rather re-use them because they will be in keeping with almost identical walls in the immediate vicinity (probably 1930s imperial size bricks). However, once the mortar is removed, is there anything else I can use to clean them up more? Thanks |
