Used Virginian Brick
When choosing a solid brick, we had the choice of used St.Louis, Georgia, South Carolina or Virginia. Now since my ancestors came from Virginia guess which appealed more? Both Brian and I liked the Virginia Brick the most. Ranging from soft reds to orangey reds the used bricks have an aged charm all thier own. It will be used to make a brick surround for our wood stove. The weather has turned chilly and we really need to put our wood stove in working order again. And since we have taken up the previous luane board floor and laid a real wooden floor down, it?s now time for the brick surround & pedestal that the stove will rest on.
Just for the record it was .70 cents per brick. We were able to hand select each brick since we got an amount of 150, and we will be returning soon to get another 150 bricks. We are going to clean off some of the mortar that was left, but we don?t want them perfect looking! We will reuse them if we ever build a fireplace, which we want to one day.
Here is a photo of the brick:
