Reuse

While everyone was busy working on the house, I took on a little project of my own. Remember the pile of chimney bricks in the back yard? We've been digging up a lot more bricks from the foundation and they were being strewn around the yard. In an attempt to tidy up the work site, I started laying the bricks down in a subway tile pattern and so far have done two small areas next to the concrete walk ways surrounding the house. In the end, the mountain of debris generated from the recent staircase and deck demo, defeated my battle to keeping separate piles of demo-ed materials. Nonetheless, it felt quite gratifying to create a bit of order out of the chaos that is our house.
