Well, I went back last nite and dug in my 1x2 bin to the very bottom where I
had the last few stacks of 1x2s that I put together in 1998. I took some
apart. Much to my dismay, some of them have cracks! Not just stretching but
actual cracks on the narrow sides. These cracks start at the open end and
run most of the way up.
not every brick stacked was affected, just a few. But... oh my goodness!
Also it should be noted that this bin has seen some temperature extremes,
it's been in hot (over 100 F) vehicles at least two times, and also has been
in storage in below freezing temps several times as well.
So, YMMV but... ack!
I think I'm gonna take the rest of my bricks apart as soon as I can.
