Repoint joints as needed and replace bricks as needed on a section of the rear exterior wall. Method will include removing mortar to depth 2 times the width of joints. Hand tools will be used for final removal and power tools will be limited to grinders at horizontal joints where appropriate depending on the width of the joint only and for the sole purpose of scoring the center of the joint only. Mortar used to repoint will be mixed to match color, dimension and profile of the original joint and will be formulated to the strength of type n or type o with a very limited amount of portland cement and less than 0. Percent alkali to avoid efflorescence.
