You people have certainly been a gold mine of thoughts about bolting into an old brick wall with solid 1906 mortar, whatever that seems to be. Thank you very much. To get us all in sync here, is what I am trying to do.
It is a 1906 three story frame guarded with fine old South Columns in the...

Now I cannot find that article. I...
