I know the thread on bricks has been beaten to death but I was waiting for some good lighting to take some pictures. It didn't happen but you get the general idea. I have in a garden tool shed of mine a floor made of bricks with different names on them. I have just picked them up here and there out for garbage over the past 10 years. A funny story, a fellow insulator collector (who will remain nameless unless he wants to be ousted) came to visit me last August. Impressed with my shed, he mailed me a brick form his home state of Ohio. He said, you HAVE to have one with OHIO on it. When the package arrived, my wife said this is as heavy as a brick... and is shaped like a brick... and then she said, WAIT a minute, don't tell me you are buying BRICKS on eBay now!!! Anyway, I am amazed by the number of collectors who have come forward admitting to also having a collection of bricks around the yard.
