@@AStepInTimeChimney would you mind sharing what type of mortar or cement is best when you finish the shoulders as shown in the picture at the beginning of your video? I am needing to replace the mortar in this area on my chimney and not sure what tupe to use. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for a great video!

Need someone to better explane chimney shoulders that is an experienced CHIMNEY MASON not some person that wears a label or a brick mason! YOU NEED A WELL EXPERIENCED CHIMNEY MASON This video is an example of not knowing what you are talking about SHOULDERS SHOULD RUN FROM BACK TO FRONT of the chimney not as shown in this video!
