My kid's near-miss with a brick stack has me rethinking site safety

I was laying bricks for a patio and left a pile unsecured. My daughter almost knocked it over while playing nearby. Now I always double-check everything is stable before taking a break.

Even a well-stacked pile can be a real hazard with little kids around. They find ways to climb or pull on things you wouldn't expect. Putting up a little fence or barrier while you work adds another good layer of safety.

Absolutely! My toddler once knocked over a stack of books I thought was safe.

Why not block the pile with a wheelbarrow when you step away?
