What looked like 4 layers of brick wound up being 7 layers of brick on top 2 layers of concrete blocks. And lots and lots of mortar. Grandpa Ernie on the chain gang again! Most of the bricks crumbled when we hit them, but we did manage to salvage about 150 for other projects. The bricks on the long wall were stronger than those behind the cement steps indicating perhaps different time periods for brick and/or water damage to the bricks behind the cement steps.
