I’m taking down an old chimney in the house. It was about 28′ and about 16″ square. House was built in 1895 but I don’t know the age of the chimney. Was used for wood or coal burning stoves though. My house is in Quincy, MA. Anybody interested?

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

I took apart an old patio in sand three houses ago. My local mason yard was willing to pay me 40cents a brick for em'.
I ended up building a garden wall with arches in it and a wood shake roof attached to the front of it instead of selling them.

These bricks are too porous to be used outside. But I would just be happy to find somebody who could use them.

as you imply.used brick can not be used outside especially for walkways.
They explode.
I know from personal experiance from years ago when I used them for a pathway.
Come winter and frosts....they litterally crumble.

Do you still have the brick? Email me and let me know. thanks
I have a pile in Sharon. Free for the taking.
100 years old, mostly soft brick with soft (easy to remove) mortar.
Most are intact.
Must take it all though, the good with the bad.
