So I'm at the house today waiting for Reliance to come and install the water heater - surprise surprise they were 45 minutes after they called and said they would be - so I start chipping away at the mortar covering the brick going down the stairs to the basement using a hammer and chisel. The first photo shows how far I got in about 30 minutes of work. Not bad.
Then Jeremy comes over from next door to investigate what all the noise is about. After seeing what I was up to he offers me his chipper, a big drill with a flat bit. Thanks I say and get started.
The next picture is how far I got with the chipper in the next 5 minutes. 5 minutes!
And after another, let's be generous, 10 minutes.
Clearly it pays to have the right tools!!! (Too bad there was no tool to speed up the clean up... that was less fun)
PS - plumbing passed inspection yesterday and the hot water tank was installed. Electrical inspection tomorrow.
