These Old Bricks

Unbeknownst to us, an editor at This Old House has been writing a reno blog for the past six months or so on the magazine’s website. Or maybe reno blog is the wrong term — it’s more of a fix-it blog but fun nonetheless. Anyway, we’re glad a a reader brought it to our attention if for no other reason than the author is looking to unload about 10,000 bricks that date back to the 1840s. Evidently, this is too small to make it worthwhile for one of the salvage companies who specialize in bricks to come fetch them from the West Village. It sounds like a great opportunity for any Brownstoners who are gearing up to do a patio or garden wall this spring. The author is promising to give any interested parties a great deal on them. Let’s not let ’em go to waste!
