The earthquake we had here in San Jose last week knocked 2 pieces of mortar out of my fireplace. It's a stone fireplace, not brick, and the mortar was at the right (inside) of a stone that's about 8" x 10".
The two pieces that fell out are each 1"x1"x4" long. I can fit them back in the place they came out of ok. I'm just wondering what I should use to "glue" them in place. Is there some type of adhesive I can use or do I need to re-mortar?
4. Warpy, that's a good idea to have it inspected.
I thought about redoing the area but I'm concerned I won't match the color of the existing mortar. It's not an area that's readily noticeable so I don't think the seams would be a big deal.
I ought to just have a pro come in and do it. It probably won't cost much, but I like to tackle these things first and see how well I can mess them up before I turn them over to the experts. :)
Like the time I cut thru a stud on my back deck with the reciprocating saw. That was fun! :rofl: Power tools are SO cool!
Thanks to instructions from some kind folks here on DIY I was able to fix it myself.
