"if you buy a pool from Bwet/Bdry (or any other service) just know that you are going to be lied to. There are several reviews out there about the company lying to their customers. The people at the front desk are the worst customer service people I have ever encountered, and they lie as well. We bought an above ground pool for Bwet/Bdry and we had to replace the whole thing out of our pocket except the shell because of the lies of Bwet and Doughboy pools. Avoid!! Go anywhere else."

Who better to know what you’ll need to do a project than someone who does them! In 1979, George Elliott was a homebuilder who wanted better quality materials, so he began to stock his own products for his growing business. Soon, colleagues saw what George had in his own personal inventory and started to ask if they could buy from him. Eventually, that evolved into a retail lumber business, serving not only the needs of local contractors, but the community. In 1998, we joined True Value, which gave us greater access to a bigger inventory of products at more competitive prices. Today, WoodMart thrives because of the quality philosophy started by George … if you’re gonna do it, do it right, with the right materials. We keep an eye on the industry and a close ear to what our customers ask for. Our excellent team of building professionals and kitchen and bath designers all have experience and passion and simply love what they do. That means unsurpassed personal service you won`t get at those large chain stores. At WoodMart: • We work with contractors and do-it-yourselfers. • We promise personal service from experienced professionals. • You’ll have access to the latest products and a huge inventory. • You won’t pay more … ever!

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $10 to $30 per square foot, depending on material type and labor.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.

It’s called cobblestone because it’s made of stones that are “cobbed” together. A cob is a term that refers to rounded lumps. Originally, cobblestone streets were made from pebbles and stones gathered from riverbeds that had been rounded over time by the passage of water. The term has nothing to do with a cobbler, which is the term for someone who makes and fixes shoes.
