What kind of bricks do you need for a brick oven?

• <div><p>Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case. </p></div>

How do you paint a brick chimney?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-brick-home-exteriors.htm">how to paint a brick chimney</a>, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.</p></div>

Q: What kind of drill bit do I need for brick?

• <div><p>Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don&rsquo;t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they&rsquo;re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.</p></div>

Q: Are stone houses practical?

• <div><p>Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren&rsquo;t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone. </p></div>

Q: What causes black stains on bricks?

• <div><p>In some cases, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/black-stains-brick.htm">black stains on brick</a> are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing. </p></div>

I asked Matt to convert a 14 by 14 chain-link enclosed dog run into a covered tri-plex bird rehab facility. Simple in concept, VERY complicated in execution. Matt was wonderful in understanding what I wanted, figured out - in advance - all the details, and pulled it off! This was all last...

Somebody had given me their name and said they knew the owner of the company and they are really good. They are very caring and honest. The front yard is 12 x 12 locations and the left side was mulch and river rock and it was maybe 15 feet wide and 70 feet long. The backyard is maybe 40 feet...

Tim is a great guy. Very honest and professional. My first encounter with Tim was when he came out to talk about some work around the yard. Who knew he would spend over an hour, of his personal time, at my house helping me to try and find a shut off valve. Prior to Tim submitting a bid, he...

Excellent! Dave was very careful to preserve native plants and mosses down the middle of the drive by covering them with plastic while spreading material with mini track-hoe. Finished job looks great, was done promptly.
