ah, we asked today if we could scavange
bricks from the house that has just had
two old fireplaces replaced after the
tornado damaged them. a large roll on
container is sitting there with piles in
it. so far we think we'll be able to
do it. will be a lot of work to move them
but well worth it as we are always short
of bricks/rocks and also any fill i can
get by using the old mortar will be just
fine too. i have places that can use
critter digging deterrents like that...

not that i have time for doing this
kind of work right now or that my hand
is healed completely, but when things
come along like this gotta take advantage
of it.

i tried to talk Ma into seeing if we
could get the roll on container just moved
down here instead of having to do all that
work, but she won't... silly... oh well...

Salvage is good - but be careful of the dust !
In the 1960's asbestos was added to things like
plaster, mortar, window caulk, as well as the usual
places like ductwork, pipe insulation, etc
