Default How to Remove Nails from Mortar?


"jim evans" wrote in message
...

The previous owner put a bunch of nails in the Mortar on a brick wall
to create a trellis. The trellis blew down in the hurricane and now I
want to remove the nails. They were driven flush with the brick, so I
can't get the claw of a nail puller under the heads. Even if you
could you'd be in the Mortar recess and would probably damage the
brick.

Anybody know how I can remover these nails?

Just use a nailset to drive them in farther, and patch the surface holes.

I'd leave 'em, but if you're dead set of extracting them, drill them out.
