Apparently where you live they have larger bricks than they do here, 'cuz I'd have used a cement block (or at least half of one) as a closer approximation to the size of the ones I am familiar with for cattle. (I have seen smaller ones about the size of a small can of cat food for use in rabbit hutches and the like, though we just used chunks broken off one of the big ones.) . . . ronn! :) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
