A Brick Urban Legend
Filed under: Masonry — Tags: — nedpelger

Came across this photo (thanks Kneal) and thought, “Wow, that guy was good!”

Then I considered the pile of bricks we clean up after the masonry work is done. Could he really have designed the building so not one brick had to be cut? Wasn’t there any bricks made wrong? None got taken home for a patio project?

At 55, I’m finally getting just a wee bit skeptical. TBW would say that it’s long overdue. She wonders how long my Pollyanna world view can continue.

Oh what the heck, maybe that architect really did get it just right. It’s worth believing just to continue to annoy TBW.
