HI everyone, I am just beginning my first masonry project, a brick firepit. I have poured the concrete footer and will be soon installing the firebrick. After that, I lay the brick on the outside of the firebrick and cap it all off. I am using this as my guideline, however, I am doing it square. [URL]http://www.familyhandyman.com/DIY-Projects/Concrete---Brick/Brick/building-a-fire-pit/View-All[/URL] My questions lies with the brick to be used on the outside of the firebrick. I have about 1300 old street paver bricks that I wanted to use on this project. However, they dont have the holes like other brick so I dont know if they would be ok to use here. I am hoping so, as I really like the look of the old pavers, not to mention the cost savings since I already have them. Your thoughts would be appreciated!

Ok, I am not a contractor but I am designing my own house and acting as my own general contractor. I just got my permit and the framer laughed at me. I made the rooms even dimensions ... which makes the concrete wall below odd dimensions. He said design it to the whole foot ... hmmmmm .... how when you have an 8" wall? I know (or was told) standard concrete wall form sections come in 24" width. Assuming an 8" wall, is there a 16" section to put in the outter wall so the inner dimensions can be to a whole ft or an 8" section to put on the inner wall or ??? Also, how big are corner forms. Just looking off pictures, if the inner forms extend say 12" (guessing) from the corner then do the outer ones extend say 20" so they meet? I just want to make is simple for the concrete contractor. Thanks .... Mike
