Mike Lamb 56 Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 I have seen 1000's of bricks - flat and on their sides- supporting beams and have never seen a problem until now. And the rubble is still holding the beam 1.5" above the column. Click to Enlarge 31.64 KB Click to Enlarge 25.39 KB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjr6550 5 Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Some old brick can be very weak. I seldom see bricks used as shims. I'm sure they usually work fine, but not if they are soft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
