Hi, Jim!

 

Thanks again for this fantastic website.  Really wish we had you here in San Antonio.  I attempted to fix a corner crack area using vinyl concrete patcher (Quikrete) this weekend. 

I was stunned to find a void of 1/8" under the parge coat near the top of the foundation.  In addition, I found a gap of nearly 1" between the stucco cladding and the foundation itself.

 

After chipping away at the outside a bit, I tried to stuff the vinyl concrete patcher into the 1/8" gap.  Not sure if that worked or not.  I also fully filled the 1" gap at the bottom. 


I have about six bricks that have hairline cracks running from top to bottom as well as some mortar that's broken.  There's no deflection and they're still perfectly level.
