Moved into this home coming up on two years ago. Previous home was a very small property that had sprinklers and i constantly treated. This home is more out in the country and much larger (just under 2 acres), and I realized how much better all around it was to just be happy with a natural green lawn. This year the clover took over and is spreading.
Hello everyone,
Purchased this home coming up on two years ago. The front brick steps are flaking apart daily and I want to replace them. I'm told it's about 750 brick. The house was originally red brick and then the front was painted off white, and the steps painted white / black. My goal was to hire a mason to put black brick in and not red and repaint. However I keep coming up short on finding the brick. I've been to all the local masonry / brick supply yards. Three times I thought i found the brick we wanted (color wise). The first two times I was told they're out of stock and wouldn't be available till the end of summer. The third time my mason told me that they're hollow core and we need solid. Any thoughts or suggestions? Should we just do red solid brick and have it painted (I'm assuming there's a correct way to paint brick)? Thanks in advance for any insight.
