"Use antique brick for outdoor patios and fireplaces. The brick in the courtyard came from old buildings that were torn down. The biggest problem with antique brick is there are several different sizes and it tends to get mixed up. Set the brick in sand, rather than concrete, to give a relaxed and aged look. Plus, the sand helps level odd-size bricks."
