Bricks Are Approximately 20% Less Expensive

A truck load of high quality concrete block has
been delivered to our work site for a team who is building a wall.
They paid $0.77 each, including delivery. Our initial batch of
blocks cost $0.62 each. As funding comes available, we will
contract 50 truck loads (about $100 each) of dirt at a time which
will drop our cost per block to approximately $0.40 each.
