I cannot find good specs on any site I have visited yet, and don't recall reading anything on this site.
Last year, my first year, I built a block arch and fire bricked the whole thing (see picture). This year I built a real arch for a 2X4 Hybrid (See picture).
Last year I bought my bricks at a hardware store with a great discount, and spent hours cutting and fitting. This year I bought some half bricks at Bascoms and in my discussion with the sales woman up there, she asked if my bricks were "high intensity". This made me think.
Oh My God! What a difference in ease of cutting! My Bascom bricks cut like butter compared to last years bricks. The hardware store bricks are like rock.
See Picture below, and watch what you buy!
