Q: Why can’t I drill into the brick?

• <div><p>Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.</p></div>

Q: How much does a thousand bricks cost?

• <div><p>The exact cost of bricks depends on the type and size of the bricks you use for your project. Generally, standard clay bricks cost between $350 and $850 for a thousand bricks, or an average of $550. Brick veneer costs around the same for materials but is easier to install than solid bricks, so you&rsquo;ll save on labor by choosing this option. </p></div>

Q: Can you do German schmear on stone?

• <div><p>Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.</p></div>

Q: What does discolored brick mean?

• <div><p>Discoloration ondifferent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-bricks.htm">types of brick</a> can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss. </p></div>
