Adding value to your home with Reclaimed Bricks
Comments (10)@ Shari I will for sure. I just picked up a bag of mortar mix and hope it did not get trashed last night during the thunder shower. Should have that test patch wrapped up on the weekend. The opposite corner is going to be a bear to finish since I did not do a great job forming the foundation years back. When the guys poured and vibrated my form split open and had to be kicked back in. Since this happened the foundation wall is all out of wack. I'm going to free hand cut the bricks to different sizes but need to address the outside corner as well. Going to be a challenge but hey if it was easy anyone could do it!...See MoreIdeas needed: Egress basement window(s) for 1929 brick home
Comments (1)I imagine that the expense of the grading, concrete, well, etc. will amount to a project of some significance. At that point, the window should only be a very fractional portion of the project/labor totals. If there is a good match to the profile in vinyl, that should be fine, but I can't imagine a different product really moving the needle much on the total price....See MoreAny recs for adding a window to an existing, exterior brick wall?
Comments (3)Look for a local, reputable, and established window installation company. Most will have no problem doing this. Be sure to discuss your options in terms of finishing the cut edge of the brick....See MoreAdding window to new bath will change look of house. what should i do?
Comments (13)Thank you @houssaon . Its so much easier to see now. I think the same size would be ideal but concerned that the window will be to big given the size of the wall which is 5'11". If that isn't possible do you have any other suggestions for a window?...See Morecoreymeyer
