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.
