First off Larry "Just say no to crack", secondly I am also of the school of
thought that says store your bricks unattatched. I have found that standard
bricks actually will stack very nicely, even unattatched if they are bound
in a tight spot. I have used both bait boxes and currently tilt bins, and
found that in both cases you can stack bricks without "clicking" them
together, and still save a good deal of space over just heaping them in the bin.
