In the last few weeks we've had Herman over to replace a drafty, damaged door of uncertain vintage (these came out of it).
It seems like a small issue, but the door and its damaged sill and water infiltration were specifically enumerated as a problem requiring remediation in our homeowner's inspection during the purchasing process. And it was leaking huge amounts of heat. So we needed to deal with it.
While in the process, Herman decided to replace the area around the sill. And while doing so, he found the first of a few dozens bricks and slate pavers -- each was buried about 4" down. The portion in the upper corner is more or less as uncovered, and the rest is reconstituted from the slates and bricks found.
