Hey.
I have a really old house. Historic. I want to convert the attached original kitchen and servants quarters to a garage with a second floor to join the house. We can carefully take out one wall of the exterior brick and re-use it for the second floor. But I don't have enough brick to do the whole job. The local hisotrical society won't let me do the job if I can't match the brick and make it look like it was always there.
I've checked with every brick company and contractor and builder in the state. I really need to find the brick without traveling all over the eastern third of the company. Is there some graveyard or salvage yard for old bricks? Like early 18th century? Any other suggestions?
