812 bricks for free is a very nice get!

Here's a pic of that particular haul.... and at my advanced age, I moved it all -- TWICE -- into position in the back of my house.

I've discovered, nobody needs a gym membership. Just buy a house.

I was at a former Pennzoil refinery tear-dowm. While salvaging regular red bricks, I happened upon two full pallets of fire brick - perfect condition. Do I win a prize?

My pop built a six car garage this way.
I spent a summer chipping morter off cinder blocks and the fall building trusses. Dad laid out a pattern on the floor and me and sis built them all with salvaged nail gun nails.
The worst part of that was separating the nails from the plastic strip.
Uncle Wedge poured the footer.
