Moxii...152 N. College, DURING (PART D, preparing to start the brick floor at window display)


Started out with trailer loads of brick that was from a demolition job/trash from a jobsite.
We brought them in to the store, and stacked and counted to be sure we had enough.
Next, it was time to clean the old mortar off the bricks. The bricks are whole bricks, so no holes and not pavers, so they make for a heavy load. Jackson did a great jod of scraping the mortar off with the scrapper and hammer. NOT a fun job!! I lasted about 15 bricks and then went on to the next task. Needless to say, my standards of a "clean" brick became less and less. Thanks Jackson for hanging in there!!
I mapped out how I wanted the curveture of the window display area to be. It was an evolving curve. Yes, it would have been much easier to lay the bricks with a straight line. However, there are SO many straight lines in this space, so I really waned there to be some curve and ease into the window display area.
