cement board

fascia bricks (1/2-3/4" thick)

construction glue (weather proof)

mortar to fill in between the bricks and look like real bricks

Going to be lots cheaper than having a mason do it for you.

I helped a friend redoing the fascia bricks on his fireplace. That's what I remember he had as the materials.

He had already put on the chalk lines, so it was just put glue on the brick, stick it to the cement board, check the spacing, hold for 30 seconds. Repeat around 100 more times.

Probably lots more times for 3 walls worth.

Check out the how to shows (like This Old House) they should have videos about how to actually do it. Look for ones that cover outdoor fascia.

This is really helpful, thank you. I'll be looking for The Old House for some visual aids. We've done tile work before and it seems similar, just a PIA.
