So when you say K-8 you mean a K-8 sized box filled with random bricks.
I should clarify what I said. I was a factory slob (material handler), so when I
mean stored I mean that the bricks get molded placed in a box, and then the box
is emptied (or was emptied) by me into some big hopper. While I was there we
filled what we referred to as "Hospital Boxes". These were huge boxes that the
raw abs came in. We would fill with over runs or broken bags.
Thanks for the info
