Great looking work. Where did you get the bricks with the house number? I have been tossing around the idea of building a brick mailbox, and that is a great feature I had not thought of.
Woke up this morning to find that someone had knocked down our 4×4 post mailbox, so now have no more reason to put off this job.
I got the bricks with the numerals on the local brick store. You bring your own brick and they use some kind of a laser machine that stamps whatever you want on the brick.

I’ll post some more pictures in the next few days for that step. You basically have to support the brick arch with stones as you start going up.

Hi
How do I clean a brick floor and how do I clean the grout between the bricks without using harsh chemicals?
A : Make sure to clean it up before it dries up, otherwise there is no good way of doing it.

Great looking but I have one question. How did you support the round tera cotta tubes when the center of the structure looks hollow?
A: Use heavier cement when doing that part, if you need, use some small rocks on the sides to keep it in place.
