Re: Brick displacement
I just had another thought (oh-oh).

*I* 'was assuming' that was a brick wall, but ... in all likelihood, it is brick veneer ...

And, for brick veneer, you do not need a structural engineer, you need a mason. Not enough movement in brick veneer to worry about a structural engineer.

In looking at the photos, I was wondering why the mortar fell back in like that, then realized that would be the 1" air space - DUH! Jerry ... think man, think.
