This project right here has been my favorite so far. It was a really small job, but it had a lot of work put into it. To start, the brick used for this home is an odd size 7 5/8"-8" x 2 1/2" x 4", so I had to order oversized brick that were too large, at 8" x 2 3/4" x 4", and shave off 1/4" from each of them. I really enjoy using a wet saw and I sat out on a nice day and just cut bricks; staying cool on a hot day is easier with a wet saw. After the prep work was done, the project start day arrived. Using a 14" Demo saw, I cut the joints to free up the brick to be removed with a 23lb Demo hammer. Finishing with a 9lb rotary hammer to clean any mortar that might affect laying in new bricks. I don't see a point in coloring mortar to lay bricks and to avoid discoloration between batches, I lay all bricks with uncolored mortar and then point with a single batch, in this instance, colored to match the existing. For the finish, I struck it with a wooden dowel and then when cleaning it, the day after, brushed it hard with a scrub brush. I wish I had the opportunity to stain the bricks to match, because you would never know those bricks were replaced.
