Homemade bricks. That is so sweet.

LOL. A lot of the things we do serve dual purposes. One of the reasons for making adobe bricks versus going out and buying bricks is to build up my strength. My muscles had atrophied so bad last year. With my right hand and arm, palm facing down, I couldn't even pick up a one pound weight. Gardening and these other household chores are really good exercise. Now I am lugging around 50 lb. bags of compost and soil, just like Glenn.

Congrats on your progress with recovery!

When you began with the dual purpose statement, I thought you were gonna say, "What the hell else am I supposed to do with all these damn tumbleweeds?"

I was gonna buy some of those garden border stone paver thingies, but you've inspired me to look into making them myself. Do you have any recommendations on a good how to site? I'd google it, but it looks like you had great success from whatever reference material you used.
