If a terraced home is situated on a hill and the roofs are stepped between contiguous residences, it is common for it to have hollow walls. The exposed brickwork becomes exterior and, as a result, is exposed to the elements. Over time, this can lead to the brick drying out and falling out. Brick is a very durable material that can withstand weather conditions while providing an attractive appearance. However, if left exposed to sunlight and wind, the color will fade and the texture will become worn. It is recommended that you keep an eye on your house from time to time to make sure things aren't deteriorating too quickly. If you see any signs of damage, then take action before more expensive repairs need to be made. As with any other home improvement project, having appropriate tools for the job will make doing so much easier. Brick is a heavy material to move, so be sure to bring your own tools on site. Otherwise, you may end up spending more time getting it done than actually using it as an opportunity to visit friends and family! There are several colors available for bricks including red, white, and blue. No matter what color you select, making sure it matches your residence's other brick features such as siding and window trim is important for visual appeal.
