When I had the power upgraded to wire my sheds up, I had to put in a new meter box as it did not meet the regulations.
So my new meterbox is 2 brick courses shorter in height then the original one, so that means I need to pick up some bricks to fill in the hole :doh:
Does anyone have some the some or know where I can get some?

See if there are any below ground or under a deck etc. that u can remove and replace with commons as every batch of bricks varies in shades and textures . Recycling not seen bricks would probably be the best option , cheers

Already tried that, only got 1 brick. Main prob here is only the end walls of the house are brick whilst the rest is weather board.

Any extra bricks above eaves or in gable ends ( if any )? . Othe option is to infill above meter box with matching flashing , just trying to help . Cheers

Close but no cigar, mind you if you smear mud on the new brick, they will blend in a treat..:roll:
I try to get a pic tomorrow.

Thanks Brickie, might keep looking. If I can't get a closer match, I think I might make up a trim to go around it.
