I'm not from a masonry family, but you're right, Psyc. They really don't make things like this anymore. Nobody wants to pay for the hand-crafted stuff that'll last a hundred lifetimes when they can go to Wal*Mart and get one that will last for a couple of years ... then buy a new one. It's a disposable society. Kind of sickening to the heart when you think about it.

The damage is caused by water seeping into the masonry , freezing and thawing over time just tears the brickwork apart.

Being a second generation mason i have to say that is a piece of art, notice that the inside of the firebox is done the same as the face, you won't see that in modern construction.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sue! I have been looking for that reference for a LONG time! I should have remembered, living in the Seattle area in 1985 right after that study came out. And I had always thought the color was named for the color pink that is on the boxes that come out of bakeries. Well, whatdayaknow! Now I can call it by its rightful name - Baker-Miller pink! :-)
