At my girlfriends house I noticed one row of mortar between the bricks had been CAULKED. The rest of it looks good but I'm afraid the top is being supported by the house and not the chimney footer. While removing the mortar and redoing it, should I try to drive some kind of wedge between the bricks to unload some of the weight off the house? I would then mortar most of it, then after a day or so remove the wedges and mortar the rest. Does this make sense?
