    I am always amazed at those old brick structures. Stacks like that one, light houses, brick homes etc, all with round, gracefully tapered sides are works of art. Straight flat walls are one thing, but those rounded, tapered profiles take a whole different level of skills. Imagine the hundreds of hours of skilled work to create those structures.

    It would take more nerve than I have to operate that jack. I don't run so fast anymore.

    Yep just go to HF or Northern tool buy a 8 ton pneumatic bottle jack. remove the pneumatic pump install it on the 50 or 100 ton jack add a long air hose stand back a safe distance press the valve it is 1 and done
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
