The Bricks Have Arrived
In case you haven’t heard, CleverDude was the lucky winner of my box’o'bricks. Being a good sport, he even posted a picture. Credit for the enclosed note goes to my lovely and talented wife, although he did decide to censor it. For the full message, take a look at this picture, which I snapped before shipping the prizes out to the winners.
Interestingly, Mr. Clever went to Home Depot just one day earlier and bought himself eight bricks for use around the house — if only he had waited, he could’ve saved a few bucks! Looking on the bright side, he and CleverDudette (a.k.a., Stacie of BuildingNutrition.com) now have a few spares for future brick emergencies.
