David,
Oh, I like that idea. I would say a similar one would be to do a survey
of the types and distribution of 19th century bricks throughout the NY
built landscape and a prediction as to future need for replacement and a
collective effort to plan out fabrication and storage of a large
quantity. As it is every single building is treated as a separate
incident -- same as with the mortar analysis - and it is difficult to
leverage purchase of 300 steam pressed brick for one building when it is
obvious that all around there is a need, or at least a future need, for
a much larger quantity.
