Open Stockpipe in wall
Any advice on filling up this wall? Old rusty stockpipe was buried in brick and cement. Picture is of replacement stockpipe. Do I bury it in cement and then put plaster? Hole is 12 foot long. Email me at augiesasso@yahoo.com.

IB…a “stockpipe” is what you have in a high-end Asshat-gentrified renovation that feeds one of those water faucets above the range to fill your stockpot.
I wouldn’t completely mortar in the pipe. Chip the plaster away from the brick to expose enough brick so that you can lay in a piece of sheetrock or dryrock (cementboard). Fasten it by using the blue concrete screws in the brick. You’ll need the appropriate size masonry drill bit to start the holes. Screw the sheetrock to the brick and plaster over it. Alternatively, if the brick surface is flat enough (and clean) you can probably get away with gluing the sheetrock using a strong urethane based construction adhesive that comes in tube form. You’ll need a caulk gun for that.
