So "brick panels" sounds good to you, huh? Sound like it's probably as good as individual bricks laid by hand, Dave? I've read plenty of articles before this one that say exactly that: that new bricks are not as good as old bricks. That's why bricks are salvaged from old buildings and sold for a lot of money. It's a big business. What do you base your opinion on?
