This was a really helpful rundown of what to look for when buying brick and block, especially the reminders about asking for test reports and checking the batch. I liked the practical stuff on geometry/warping since that’s exactly what ends up costing you time and mortar on a job. Would’ve been even better with a quick checklist at the end, but overall it’s solid advice.
This was a really practical guide that hits the stuff people actually mess up, like checking batch paperwork and looking for consistent geometry before you buy a whole pallet. I especially liked the reminders about water absorption and freeze-thaw ratings since that’s a big deal in a lot of the U.S. Only thing I wished for was a quick checklist at the end, but overall it’s solid advice and easy to follow.
