    Default Need some bricks to match

    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

    Does anyone have some the some or know where I can get some?
    Cheers

    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.

    Close but no cigar, mind you if you smear mud on the new brick, they will blend in a treat..

    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.
