Another load of beach bricks! I can only carry about a dozen at a time (around 50 lbs worth). More than that and the bike gets really top-heavy. #reuse #recycle #beachFinds #CapeCod #Workcycles #BikeTooter #quaxing #bricks #CargoBike #beach

The Countess And The Brickyard - Daily Independent Journal, Sat, Jul 14, 1973

"A tiny woman who played a key role in Marin's industrial past may have well done the same thing for the county's future.

From the time of the Gold Rush timbers, brick and supplies needed to transform a sleepy village into the burgeoning city of #SanFrancisco were barged across the Bay from #MarinCounty.

Structures such as the old chocolate factory at Ghiradelli Square, the Cannery, the two Palace hotels (before and after the 1906 earthquake and fire), the St. Francis and Clift hotels, were built with brick sent by boat to San Francisco from the #Remillard Brick Co.'s Marin yards.

One who remembers it well is Countess Lillian Remillard Dandini, 93-year-old daughter of the brick company's founder, Pierre Remillard. It was she, in 1915 as company vice-president ..."

I've never been to a Lego store before. Today was the day.

From the Knave column, Oakland Tribune, Sunday, November 05, 1967:

IT ISN'T every day you meet a Countess running a brick-yard - especially one who has had more than 50 years of success in its management and admits to 87 years of vibrant living.

It's even more unusual when the Countess tells you she has dedicated her life to the memory of her French-Canadian parents and is as proud of her Oakland heritage as anything else she possesses. And her possessions are indeed prodigious.

There are other admirable characteristics about Countess Lillian Remillard Dandini, the brickyard proprietor who, we hasten to inform you, was born in a modest eight-room, two-story dwelling at Tenth and Clay Streets in Oakland ...

Typical commercial building in midwestern towns — built around 1900. In my area, these buildings are often badly deteriorated due to the “soft” bricks and poor quality mortar used in the original construction. The region’s overall economic decline is also a factor.

A bit geeky, I know, but I love this old stone wall in the Yorkhill area of Glasgow. I've got no idea of its age, but it leads down to the former Bishop's Mill, on the banks of the River Kelvin, which was built in 1839.

All in all, I must break free from this wall.
All in all, I'm a #bird - fly not fall.

The process of getting this business going will be a slow one, but I wanted to start by showing you guys that I do custom Lego models of your home, business, or really any commission we can agree on. This is the outside of a home I designed, including the entire yard, front and back. The whole thing is a few hundred bricks in each direction, and contains more than 30 unique colors!
