William found our second hand brick by noticing that some public housing was being demolished and the used brick was being loaded on pallets. He asked someone on the site, learned who to go to, did a little bargaining, and came home with 14 pallets (most for future undetermined use). He brought 200 concrete blocks with us during our last move as he was sure that he would find a use for them. Thirteen years later, he used them for raised vegetable beds in our garden. He never gets rid of anything which I suppose I should be thankful for as I am still here after 31 years, LOL. All the best, Susan Cochran
