How to level, and clean up the bricks?
Hi there! I’ve attempted to fix my neighbors busted brick stairs. I really enjoyed the project, but now that the mortar (Mason mix type S Quikcrete) has dried, it looks pretty wonky. Here are my next uhhh, steps: Grind down the raised section a little to make it more even. Clean the bricks with a wire brush to get the excess mortar off (angle grinder wire brush, hand wire brush?) Spray down to clean. Sand in the joints. Brush it all in. Did I mess this up bad? Any advice on what to do next? I used the adhesive to attach the new bottom row, to the stair wall. Thank you so much! This community has taught me a ton. Attached are some photos of the current state, process, and the before damage. submitted by /u/FungusBrewer [link] [comments]
