    Re-using breeze block to rebuild garage

    Thanks for the feedback, I thought that reusing the block may be more trouble than it is worth! From a cost perspective it looks like any savings from already having the roof, door, window etc will be eaten up by the labour costs for dismantling, new foundations and rebuilding. Perhaps...
