Does anyone have a supply of used brick?

With spring in full gear and the rains gone for a few days we decided to jump in and start the path that will connect the house and studio.  Since the completion of the studio we have been forced to cross the grass in the back yard and it wasn't long before we had a dirt path--which turned to a muddy mess (inside and out) every time it rained or snowed.

Well, no more!  We'll just use the bricks we salvaged during the demolition of the Wendell school a few years back.  Problem is, lots of people heard about the brick give away and we were only able to salvage half a path worth...


Fortunately Diana works at the local grocery store--which is the social center of town and, as we're quickly learning, the networking hub for everything.  One day, while running the cash register, she asked a local stone mason she knows if any locals he knows might have a supply of used brick.  "As a matter of fact, yes! he said.  Apparently several years ago they demolished the nearby King Hill School and I guess not as many people heard about it because he told Diana one lady inherited a majority of the bricks!  She is rumored to have "thousands of them". 

We haven't made contact with her yet, so our brick road remains a dream for now, but hey, how long can this lady go before she runs out of groceries?  And when she does I'm hoping Diana will be at the register so we can work a deal!  If she actually does have thousands, our pizza oven may be one step closer to reality as well!
