    Thanks for the update and good pics Patriot.

    The brick just gave me a thought. If you get some brick walls to take down, you can do pretty well selling the old solid brick. The mortar in this building should be old enough to easily pop off with a hammer. With a little practice you can hit it sharply and break off the mortar without breaking the brick. Stack them on pallets 500 at a time in a crosshatch pattern and they will stay. I used to get $350 to $500 per thousand brick when they were needing a lot of them to rebuild New Orleans after Katrina. Some new brick companies will also buy palletized old brick. Your boss may have a use for these for building, so it may not be a selling item, but they are easy to clean if any of the guys have some downtime.



    Also, the firebrick can be reused for fire pits and such.
