This brick wall is on a house opposite my bedroom window.

To me its wrong on so many levels!

1. Bricks are meant to be laid with a bond rather than stacked like this as it makes a stronger job.
2. To be able to get away with this effect you need accurate, even brickwork as stacking really shows every mistake.
3. The actual bricklaying is poor with uneven joints and inaccurate bricklaying.
4. The pointing of the brickwork is poor.
5. There is excessive mortar staining of the brick.

Can you believe this is on the side of a new house, currently for sale, in this state!
