Got it. I'll grout it all solid and bump-up everything accordingly. These are standard blocks, yes. The whole thing gets stone veneer.

Why so tall? Architects! I had looked at it tying into this two-tiered porch which has a steel moment frame for lateral bracing of the chimney AND porch, but the columns I was using are "too big" because they'll conflict with the remote control roll-down screens. Like I said: architects :D...
