Straighten a leaning masonry wall?
Straighten a leaning masonry wall?
(OP)
A client has a 12" wide, approximately 20'-0" high stone masonry gable end wall that is part of a detached garage. The garage is approximately 75 years old. The masonry wall is out-of-plumb 6" due to a large tree leaning on it. Is it possible to straighten out the wall (if so, how?) or is it easier (and cheaper) to demo the wall and re-build? Thanks in advance.
