  • Clean the brick-face
  • Apply a foundation
  • Apply highlights and features using ‘blushing’ techniques
  • Stand back a little…..then admire the beauty and transformation!

Thanks Liquid Web!

This is an additional post to say thank you to our web hosts, Liquid Web for inviting us to a tour of their impressive Data Centre in Lansing, MI.

We also got to put faces to the names of some of their 24/7 support team.

It’s quite a strange feeling looking at a PC that you usually communicate with remotely from over 3,000 miles away!

Brick Tinting Tour Summary

cali-plate.jpgustour.jpgWe would like to thank all the clients we visited on the tour for their kind hospitality. It was great to meet with all of you.

Considering the wintry conditions in the Mid-West we were fortunate enough to side-step the worst of the weather and stick to our schedule.

If you missed out on the tour and happen to live on the east coast, then you’re in luck as the next tour will be the East Coast Tour 2008. We will post an update on the planned route in mid-2008.

Best wishes from the Dyebrick Team

…a Happy New Year to all!

The USA Tour gets underway today!

Well, it’s turned midnight which means the countdown timers have finally stopped and all systems are go for the Dyebrick USA tour 2007.

Due to the volume of work to be done for the meetings in San Francisco and Los Angeles, there will not be many updates on the blog until the tour itself gets underway. We estimate this will be on the 11th December.

The tracking will also only be active during the tour itself, more instructions on how to follow us will be posted when we start moving!

I’m now going for some much needed sleep for the busy month ahead!

James Harland,
Dyebrick
