Re: Countryboy build in SC, US
Countryboy, Tscarborough is right just put a P-trap and the odor wont be a problem. As fo the brick, .70 cents is cheap, Here in NYC the best I can get them for is .95 cents, and thats contractor price. I would stongly recomend to get some type of saw to cut the bricks, forget about chisel and hammer. The old metal chopsaw you say you have is sufficent, although you'll make alot of dust. Just put a diamond blade on it, and start cutting. My father is a bricklayer and he uses an old makita metal chopping saw w/ a diamond blade set up on the scaffold. A wet saw would work alot better, but when your laying bricks on a wall; you don't want them wet, and its a pain to cut bricks on gorund and then pass up on scaffold. I would strongly recomend the Harbor Freight tile saw, I bought one when they opened a store here, and got it w/ stand and diamond blade for $259( special promotion price). My dad is a contractor, when he first saw it he said it was a piece of junk, and any decent saw would cost upwards of $800. Well last father's day I went out and bought him one since he was using mine at least twice a month. So much for junk! It's a really well built saw, the H.F. blade is okay for cutting a few bricks, but for all day cutting I bought a dedicated diamond blade just for bricks. I use the H.F. tile blade just to cut tiles.
