Re: House Bricks

Just as caller explains..This little brick-works is great. They do ornate slabs also..Standard bricks are dense & heavy, and there is an option of 'lego' style red bricks also..I got the standard smooth-topped ones at 12b each, plus 100b for delivery..The staff are friendly towards farangs also.
