I've been at it for a couple weeks now and never thought to post about it but here goes...
My house is very old - 140yrs. It has no garage. You see my problem... Turns out there was a farmer outside of town, had a small old farmhouse that he rented out... Tenants had a small kitchen or elec. fire... He built a new big house and moved in... My point... I need a garage. My house and the old farmhouse have the same yellow brick about same age. Even same locally made brick. I live in a small village, one store type village. Soooo...
We pushed the walls over with a backhoe and now I have been spending after "work," I stack and clean brick for future use on my garage. I have been separating garbage and metal etc. in order to get the roof off farmer has a crane truck and we rented a bin and cut the roof to fit ad boomed em in. I have made the decision to also salvage lumber from the house like the flooring and joists maybe to sell or use myself. To date I've got about 3500 bricks cleaned of old mortar and stacked on pallets, i think another 3000 will be all that is available. The ones in the pic are actually "salmon" (red to keep it simple for me) coloured... I'm trying to sell these... these were on the inner layer of the double brick. The ones I really want are virtually the same but yellow.
I was trying to keep it short...
