At the moment life is all about bricks.....................Bricks ,bricks and more bricks..............In my wisdom (not!!!!) l foolishly decided that Candlestick Farm would be so much nicer with brick paths , brick patios and bricks in general! And not just ANY old brick.....................old red bricks!..........heavy old red bricks and expensive old red bricks!!!! (sigh!!)
Quite WHY I came to this conclusion escapes me now but the last two (or is it 3??) weekends have been taken up with long slow tedious trips across town to pick up other peoples discarded, old and unwanted red solid bricks. Hobart Reds they are called!! l am learning more and more about old bricks every day!!!
l have estimated to do all that l want to do l need 1600 of the darn things! The ute carries comfortably about 130 at time (old solid wet bricks are heavy!!!) so that's a lot of trips!
We have now amassed a magnificent 1300 !!
900 all from one place (free too!!) and another free 100 found by my Dad in an old barn near their house. 200 bought from a fantastic old house slap bang in Hobart and odds and ends picked up from other venues about the Valley! A few more to go but that's ok.............as l now have to clean them...................Yep! Every single one!!
So with my new tool friends............plus a brickies brush..........away I go!....... l have a lonnnnnnng way to go!!!
