I wrote this article to share ideas with others that want to reuse the old bricks but must write their own spec. The issue is that the standard spec for placing modern brick pavers does not address issues with bricks made 100+ years ago. The architect that says not to worry that "they will not accept it until it is right" is gambling with your money they can bluff their way into getting a good job. If it is spec'ed and detailed correctly there is no need to for the stand-off. I will be glad to review your consultant's draft and offer my 2 cents.

I was searching for a recycle brick paver spec and saw your article, it will be helpful to us, we will be reconstructing the oldest street in our City and need specifications. If you are still associated with the City, possibly they could share it with us. Martha; St. Augustine, Florida I appreciate what you’ve done here with this blog.
