Brick Saga

Matching bricks were located on Gabriola island.
The previous owners had dug them off the beach 30 years ago.

We had to re-stack them on new pallets. All 2812 of them.
I was might sore after that long day's work.

The faces have to be split off each brick.
The old front door site has been closed in.
Ultimately the 'practice planter' will be covered in stonework just like the stone walls that surround the driveway. Plants will be put in front of the old front door and a trellis erected so that Ivy can grow up and cover the brickwork.
Lets hope I get better at it before the addition gets covered.
