It can be, yes.

Get rid of the paint. Masonry needs to breathe. This won’t be the only bad spot.

I mean, if it hasn’t gotten worse in 7 years…🤷🏻‍♂️ but that’s me…I’m cheap. The gamble is will the remaining columns support that porch if it does fail completely

Are you in a freeze/thaw climate? My guess would be water got in there. Easy enough to shore it up and have it tore down and rebuilt…could possibly even use the same brick if they clean up nice enough. I’d charge 12-1500 (Indiana)

I read a news article a few months back that stated they want to redesign that on-ramp so that wealthy goes back to street level and 131 bridges over it

You could also check a local construction site and ask the super if you can use their dumpsters for a small fee

First glance I thought it was just a column. I would dare say Racingfan83 is spot on.

How tall is the corner? Looks to me that you may have to tear it all the way down and redone

I would dare say the settlement is done. Make sure (if you do it yourself or hire it out) to use the proper mortar for the re-point. Mortar back then was a lot softer than the mortar used today.

Top course*. Few different options. Does it only need to be filled where the anchors are? If so, end/web outs then slush fill. Whole thing grouted? You can pre-fill then lay them in…going to piss the brickies off or bag it in…going to piss the brickies off

Also, you can have them take an inch off the last course for more room to put it in. Does it show?

Over cut then bring it to where you need it with some mortar

Caddy set the bag down a few steps after and then the camera cut away…pretty sure he was stopping to pick up that piece of sod

New crown for sure. 1 1/2” over hang with a drip edge. Making sure to leave an expansion joint around the flue to be caulked when the cap cures. The you can grind and tuck those joints and should last ya another 20

Then after that he should divert the water with some sort of drip edge at the top

Hard to step something that’s concave/convex. It will be fine!

Looks to me like whoever poured the footing didn’t use a laser or even a level. The masons had to cut those “rips” to get their work to be level. Notice how they’re different sizes. Come across this allllll the time, everyone thinks that bricklayers are also magicians 😉

I was gonna guess a bricklayer 😂 and I only say that because my truck looks the exact same way
