Alright, let’s talk about buyin’ a brick, you know? Folks keep jabberin’ on about it, so I figured I’d chew the fat with ya.
What’s all this brick fuss about?
Well, from what I hear, buyin’ a brick ain’t just about gettin’ a hunk of clay. It’s about helpin’ folks out, y’know? Like them church folks, they need a new roof or somethin’, they ask ya to buy a brick. Schools do it too, for new buildin’s and such. Even them sport clubs, they get in on it.
They call it “fundraisin’,” fancy word for gettin’ money. You give ’em some money, they put your name on a brick, stick it on the wall. Makes ya feel good, part of somethin’ bigger, I reckon.
- Where to get these bricks?
- Now that’s the tricky part. You got all sorts of places sellin’ bricks.
- You got your big fellas, the brick suppliers, like that LBC they talk about. They sell a whole heap of bricks.
- Then you got your smaller joints, maybe sellin’ fancier bricks, or recycled ones.
- Heck, sometimes you can even buy a brick straight from the church or school itself.
Pickin’ the right brick
Lordy, who knew there were so many kinds? You got your red bricks, your brown bricks, your fancy lookin’ bricks. Some are smooth, some are rough. Some got holes, some don’t. It’s enough to make your head spin, I tell ya.
But I figure, if you’re gonna buy a brick, get a good one. One that’ll last. Don’t want it crumblin’ apart after a few years, now do ya? And make sure it fits with what they’re buildin’. You wouldn’t wanna stick a red brick on a yellow wall, would ya? Looks plumb silly.
How much does a brick cost?
Well, that depends, don’t it? Them fancy bricks, they cost a pretty penny. The regular ones, they’re cheaper. And if you’re buyin’ a whole bunch, you might get a discount. But it ain’t just about the money, see? It’s about helpin’ out, like I said. Every little bit counts, that’s what my mama always said.
What to do with your brick?
Most times, you don’t actually get to hold the brick. They put it in the wall for ya. But sometimes, they let you take it home, specially if it’s for a special occasion, like a memorial or somethin’. You can put it in your garden, or use it as a doorstop, or heck, even build a little somethin’ yourself.
Why buy a brick anyway?
Look, times are tough. Folks need help. Churches, schools, clubs, they all need a little boost now and then. Buyin’ a brick is a small thing, but it adds up. It shows you care, that you’re part of the community. And it feels good, plain and simple.
So, go on, buy a brick. It ain’t gonna break the bank, and it might just make a difference. You’ll be helpin’ folks out, and you’ll have somethin’ to show for it, even if it’s just your name on a wall. And that, my friend, is worth more than all the tea in China.
That’s all I got to say about buyin’ a brick. Hope it made some sense to ya.
