Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 08, 2008 8:32 am Has anyone built or had built for them, a brick letterbox from their unsused house bricks?
Hw did you go about it? Could I pay my brickie to do it for me, or do I ask if i can have the leftover bricks, as they belong to the builder, not me? Building in manor lakes 2008 Re: brick letterbox to match house 2Aug 08, 2008 10:02 am We definitely wanted the bricks to be from the same batch so we actually ordered some extra from the builder for a letterbox and/or bbq. Even though there's usually some left over sometimes they go walkabout so if it's really important they match the house exactly I'd order more.
I'm sure your brickie would be receptive to the idea of a "cashie" after handover. If not a local brickie may be interested. But from reading everything on this forum, the tradies generally don't mind a bit extra if it's worth their while. Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.
