Bricks were the next step after pouring the concrete pads for the walkway. Sounds pretty simple in theory right? Pick a pretty pattern, lay them out, then add some mortar. No quite. For some reason we had a large number of bricks buried under the grass in the back yard (probably why the grass doesn't grow well, yeah?) so in the process of digging out for the pads we unearthed them all.
Free bricks, awesome!
Dirty bricks, not so awesome...
Travis and I spent Easter Sunday scrubbing the bricks to get the years of dirt, moss, algae and everything else off. It was a workout. Another weekend of scrubbing and hopefully we'll begin the "simple" part.
