My house has real pretty raised brick flowerbeds. The brick matches the brick of my home. I want to redesign one of my flowerbeds reusing the existing bricks. Then pour a new concrete walkway. Does anyone know someone that can redo the brick? Obviously through my cousin or Ethan the new concrete walkway will be easy enough todo! :lol:

If you pick up your local green sheet there is a section just for masonry. Usually the guys who do the brick mailboxes will do flower beds as well.

Good deal. You being a concrete man, let me ask you this; in my living room I have a wall made of the same brick. However it only runs 3/4 the way up to the ceiling. I'd like to use the remainder of my bricks to take it up to the ceiling. I'm worried about the concrete not matching. Is there a trick to make it more uniform?

I am guessing you are referring to the mortor in between the bricks. Its pretty much like matching grout, you can get it close but its never a perfect match.

Mortar.....Mortar is a workable paste used to bind construction blocks together and fill the gaps between them. The blocks may be stone, brick, cinder blocks, etc. Mortar becomes hard when it sets, resulting in a rigid aggregate structure. Modern mortars are typically made from a mixture of sand, a binder such as cement or lime, and water. Mortar can also be used to fix, or point, masonry when the original mortar has washed away.[1]


Motor....An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert energy into useful mechanical motion.[1][2] Heat engines, including internal combustion engines and external combustion engines (such as steam engines) burn a fuel to create heat, which then creates motion. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, pneumatic motors use compressed air and others—such as clockwork motors in wind-up toys—use elastic energy. In biological systems, molecular motors, like myosins in muscles, use chemical energy to create motion
