Is another man's brick walkway....
File this one under my ongoing campaign to be rid of the need for a mower. My neighbors up the street have apparently done away with a rather large brick paved patio. The remains of which were unceremoniously dumped curbside. While a good 50 percent were smashed or degraded beyond usefulness, I did manage to score about 2 loads worth in the back of our Saturn Vue. I didn't count, and I forgot to take a picture this morning since I was hauling well after sundown, but I would guess its somewhere on the order of 250 ish red zigzag paver bricks.
So now we at least have a great start on the walkway through the middle of the backyard to the garden.

You are a busy blogger today!
Nice score on the bricks! It is amazing sometimes what people will throw out. With just a little bit of thought and effort, most things can be put to alternative uses or re-purposed into something else.
THAT is an awesome find.
You are a first-class scrounger, my friend! My hats off to you! Some of my best scrounging finds include a brass bed and an animal water trough that was turned into a water feature. Keep up the good work!
