I’m replacing my carpet floor with my wooden floor, and at my fireplace I’m sawing the brick so I can slide the wood under (my wife doesn’t like the look of trim around it and I agree). Anyways, I did an opposite and cut too high (pic related). Is there anyway I can find some kind of brick filler or do I need to replace the brick. Also on that note, anyone know where to find bricks of that color? Location Columbus Ohio

Fill it with grout and embed some brick dust on the outside. Or just ignore it since no one is going to see it but your bitch of a wife

Buddy its hard to replace brick as companies go out of bidness often.

Get epoxy and make a dust slurry and slap that bitch in there

remove cement holding brick in place
remove brick without breaking it
flip brick around
reinsert brick
re-cement
boom done

I’ll try this first, then I’ll try >>1636977
Thanks for the help, I’ll post back here if option 1 actually works well, if not assume I did 2 because that is bound to work

man, just fill it with _anything_ and then paint the wall. it looks like it was painted before and then somebody did a half-assed job of removing said paint. make it white or something, women love that.

This but don't re-cement. After removing the brick, before flipping it around, hollow it out and stash fireproof valuables. Also epoxy the cut corner before hollowing the brick.
