Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Brick with a History........
This brick was on my property when I bought it. It has a lot of history but I don't think it was from being used under my house. The cement used to stick it to another brick or foundation still is attached. I noticed from the photo that the two holes on the left are different sized from the one on the right. I don't know why they would construct it that way. The arch on the left window means that possible the other two are also arched.
It is a very heavy brick compared to the modern ones that I have around on the property. I set it into the bottom of my stock tank/ fish pond. I set the pump on it so it will be just the right height for circulation of the water and sometime a fountain spray. The brick used for my basement are red ceramic brick and maybe the stairs down from outside to the basement were originally made from some of these. I don't have any other bricks like this on the property.

It reminds me of the fancy edging on low walls. I seem to remember my grandfather building a similar kind of wall... and we used to watch mice and birds duck under the arches.
If bricks could talk! Lol...
