Old Bricks for the Patio

Down the street from the apartment I am living in, some folks decided to raise their house. It is very dramatic.

This house was built in the early 1900's, so I loaded up on some cool, old and best of all, free bricks to use on my patio when I get around to fixing it up.

The shoring company took apart the original brick piers and threw them in a pile to be trashed in the landfill.

The cute convertible was replaced with the more useful and responsible pick-up truck.
As you can see, it has come in quite handy for many things.
