Some bricks are brittle and chip a lot easier than others, sometimes you get bundles that every bricks header has a hair line crack thru it. Generally it's better to order more than less, because sometimes if u have order an extra 500 bricks they could be a different shade because they weren't cooked in the same batch and if the bricks are untouched and easy to access the brick company will come pick them up for free.

It’s good practice to open up at least 3 packs and mix them up , you should never just use one pack at a time.

The gap can be adjusted so it's tighter. You can definitely set up corner cabinets to have the same gap as standard doors. 2 13531 1 4574 1 13044 |
