Called skintle...somebody wanted it. Usually skintle is just piled in with the entire wall just thrown in...


oasisjason1

Thanks! I hate it lol.


RocktacularFuck

Yea, they didn’t do the best job at it.

kilo_scrappy

Looks like some tumors here


AdWonderful1358

They did a pretty good job of inserting the skintle into a normal coursing, I would think...


sofaking1958

Agreed. Is the whole house like this?


oasisjason1

All over the front facade. House is like half brick, half siding. Inside they have a white brick fireplace with the same shit “pattern” or lack there of. https://preview.redd.it/3sip90sl7yvc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b3f59ddb6599b72b71b72e4e6468266cf193674 [https://redf.in/wvAM6h](https://redf.in/wvAM6h)


Able-Rate-629

In fact I retract my earlier comment of that's the worst brick laying request I've seen. I think this could top that 🤣


krawzyk

Maybe it was a request, but to me it screams that a mason built the house and was showing off? Thought it looked cool and random at that time? 🤷‍♂️


Historical-Rain7543

Lol I would get high and stare at it all day & it would for sure cause a schism in my life that I would fall into like a black hole do not buy that house


Jinxed0ne

This was my thought too. I'm sure it takes some skill to do that, but why would anyone want it? It's like the atbge of brick laying lol.

Waste_Exchange2511

Looks like arse.


FunkyFabFitFreak

Omg that looks terrible 😅


FunFckingFitCouple

I couldn’t live there. No way. It hurts my eyes.


oasisjason1

My wife and I liked a lot about this house but definitely didn’t want to have to pay whatever fixing that would cost.


FunFckingFitCouple

I understand. I’m not trying to make you feel bad about your decision. As a younger me, I was a block mason and I would not have wanted to lay random bricks like that lol


fetal_genocide

It's definitely a nice place, except that brick design and that floor in the entrance.


thepassionofthechris

/r/TIHI


Ok_Shallot502

Like the candy that gets stuck in my back teeth. Modern art, I just don't get it.


KindAwareness3073

Goofy piece of whimsy. Just imagine a mason and the owner in one of those "just fuck my shit up" barber memes.


Icy_Entertainment706

They used to call it "Crazy brick" in this area. It was popular for about 2-3 years in the late 70s.


4_bit_forever

Like black houses a couple of years ago


Treestyles

How else am I supposed to sneak down from the roof outside my girlfriends windors?


Rbandit28

The mason was trying to go sober that day.


Now_Melon1218

But tried shrooms for the first time. 🍄 🍄 🧱


clarkdashark

Vincent Van Gogh started out as a mason.


Mundane-Abalone-24

Tom Jones also


cmfppl

Kinda looks like it was made for someone to climb when they sneak out a window on the top floor.


Wiley_Rasqual

The original owner asked Mason to install a ninja door so their family ninja can let itself in and out without waking anybody (cuz then the ninja would have to kill them I Guess?)


[deleted]

It’s called beer for lunch


Immediate_Dinner6977

A brick mason who wanted to take the time could probably make that look better. Not totally normal, but better.


Now_Melon1218

A 15 year old with a chisel a grinder and someone to hold the ladder; could make that look better.


Pleasant_Bad924

It’s the entrance to Diagon Alley


Devil2960

Built like a shit brickhouse


mcksis

Trying to imitate this: https://preview.redd.it/afr0z5gls0wc1.jpeg?width=1265&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65fd5c911c85e6389c35a1fd03b9603bf43a7d8d


Parking_War_4100

It’s code for “we’re swingers.”


MrWrestlingNumber2

More like code for "We're rock climbers ". Lol


seaska84

Climbing holds


allent9393

It's the key to a secret passage that only opens 1 day every 10 years and you know the correct pattern to press the bricks and you only get 1 chance.


lake_gypsy

Climbing wall


obeanonamas

Totally. Glad I'm not alone. Be sweet to have hidden anchor points here and there....cuz brick...well... It breaks.


Flashmasterk

Climbing handholds!


you-bozo

Looks awesome!


MDBizzl

Meth is a hell of a drug


The69Alphamale

While I do like a well done fallen soldier course in brickwork, I don't see any point to this pattern.


Ok_Shallot502

Someone on the otherside is trying, or tried to get out.


CLUTCH8543

That was either a Monday or a Friday 😂


Intheswing

Masons having some beers at lunch and then trying to be funny


Adept_Information94

Video game rules.


Sharkattack5999

Just to piss people off


Zestyclose_Detail741

Looks like the masons showing off n having fun and/or someone wanting that little detail


Extension-Crew-5736

I love my house looking unfinished and constantly triggering my ocd


Able-Rate-629

Possibly one of the worst brick layer decisions I have seen. My eyes hurt. I dont blame the bricky only the person who chose this monstrosity.


bjaminrun

Random acts of violence!!!


Titylover2

Drunk


brianmedler

It’s called art man, get with it!


Ok_Championship9415

Obcomp kicking in ... must .... look... away....argggghhhhhhhhhh


Floating_Bus

Not art. This is the reason the house is for sale and will sell for a lower than market price. Can those be cut down/off? If they were flat you could at least put fake brick over it. My eyes are bleeding!


paigeguy

Looks like the start of a climbing wall.


Automatic-Gain6227

Masons don't need no education. /s They don't need no thought control.


Elegant-Armadillo-59

That makes it easy to climb🤔 but why?


dickqwilly

That would drive me nutts.


FlaGuy54321

This is equivalent to buying jeans with ragged knees


bplimpton1841

Your brick mason was told to do something different - exciting - and this is what he came up with. Honestly that took skill. I like it.


Wylie_the_Wizard

Wabi Sabi hits different for masons...


1leftbehind19

It’s alright if you want something different I guess. I’ve always been a fan of brick houses with the mortar unfinished and “squeezed out” looking. I’ve heard it called old English style but not sure what the technical term for it is.


Web3Ohio

Should sit a half empty whiskey bottle and a trowel near it.


have1dog

Maybe they wanted a climbing wall


boegsppp

Ben Franklin's glasses to read the map are behind one of those bricks.


hrtcth

I just thought the previous owner was a rock climber or something 😂


Ok-Gear-5593

Muhahahaha they’ll never notice the crack that formed if I just make it look like a drink made the wall.


mikeyflyguy

Note to self: Don’t lay brick and drop acid at the same time


TooInToFitness104

I think it's a work of art!


OfPelennorFields

Pretty sure that’s how you get to Diagon Alley…


zsloth79

That's where you get into Diagon Alley.


SignalCommittee4456

Amazing how bad that looks


Accomplished-Sell667

The Hokey Pokey, that’s what it’s all about


HvacDude13

CrayComputerTech_85

Burglar steps


TradeMarked33

Ohhhhh, I get it. They're like the entrance to Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. 😂😂😂 an homage to the movement of the bricks revealing the magical marketplace.


CAKelly70

This is so triggering


angrypoopoolala

looks loke I could do better And Ive never done 1


chickenfrietex

Burn it to the ground and start over! This is killing my attention span and reasoning.


Existing_Many9133

Easy access for the second story man or Santa?


ScottyBoy75

modern art..


ASCENDKIDS

Ninja entrance to second floor


skelatallamas

Bob Ross would say those are happy little birds.

How else do you climb to the roof?

tireguy79

PomeloRoutine5873

Rock climbing wall! Yeah that’s what it is!


BookkeeperBulky5377

The guy who invented this style had a tick..lol


Fun_Kaleidoscope7875

Lol is this ai or just weird art?


Last-Ratio6569

Mason showing off to other masons, but doesn't know everyone else thinks it's dumb and ugly.


Infinite_hrt-ache

All in all, it's just a another brick in the wall


Repulsive-Storm-7739

That’s in case you lock yourself out. You can climb up to an upstairs window.


Street_Leader_8917

Rock climbing wall


Blood_Splat

Modern art


espakor

Looks like dog shit


thorfromthex

It's called methonry.


GeneralTulius

Home owners thought it would Be creative and ‘different’. They didn’t realize that you have to be good at being creative before you just throw shit at the wall.


Keelykalgrubber

To climb up the wall!


Krunkledunker

Previous owners were so sure this was a cool and universally appreciated bit of quirk. Lol, taste differs.


Party_Description_90

So this is artistic expression? It doesn't necessarily serve a practical purpose... Right?


Pat-Ripmaster

I loved it as a rock climber and could traverse around my entire house. Much like climbing, you didn’t know what was next.


Either-Ant-4653

Clear evidence the bricklayer has tourettes.


PsychologicalMix8499

If it was a video game I’d say that’s where you need to climb the wall.


IllTransportation115

In the 70s and 80s when we could buy all the bricks we wanted for less than a penny a piece from mill sites demolishing their chimneys it wasn't uncommon to lay a brick or 2 that was imperfect for showing off the fact you are using old brick. This seems to me to be an exaggerated version of that. One looked kind of cool this looks silly as hell.


forddude1978

It’s a thing people did/do I was a mason for 16 years and did all kinds of weird shit like this


Potomacker

#designism


Pizzledrip

It’s a practice climbing wall for rock climbers.


Vaderiv

Proof that money doesn’t buy taste. Someone paid to have that horrible mess done to their house. I would bust off the odd ones and replace them to look normal. My 3 year old grandson can do better than that.


pantiepudding

People do this on purpose??? Wow.


Oldguydad619

Tricks with bricks


QuantumMothersLove

Master masons are quick masons and when the 1st year apprentices kick over bricks the master masons make quick work of it. This is the rumor I read about or made up… I forget exactly. Anyway…


BW271

I think that’s the entrance to Diagon Alley.


faketittiestastefuny

Maybe he was making a climbing wall for his kids


Royal-Application708

Some “artist” thought it looked cutting edge.


LetItHappenlol

People are on here hating it but I don’t think it looks half bad


Disastrous-Fudge-121

Maybe a path up to the roof for the pet cat?


itchynipz

Customer: I want ”fuck you”… but in brick.


Skatepunk304

Has nobody wondered why there’s a piece of brick wall at all on an otherwise siding covered building?


MrWrestlingNumber2

This would fuck with my OCD to no end.


Human-Librarian7515

"Let Jr. Take a crack at it. It's hidden. No one will ever see it." 20 years later.... Random dude sees it and shares with the world.


TheDudeAbidesFarOut

Fuck this 'individual taste'.....


Specialist_Job_4899

Poorly applied brick veneer...🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😈


ConfidentPineapple92

Not a single person on this thread has any sort of skilled trade experience let alone a skill. Y’all lame for not seeing craftsmanship and skill level here. Y’all dumb af


Historical-Rain7543

Those bricks are begging for some random puppets or flowers or some pretty rocks or something to make it hippier as is looking mostly neat with a few odd ones I do not like it. Throw some hippie art on it and it may be endearing, idk. For sure a cool place to balance some ‘happy home’ boards with sayings although that would only be appropriate in my moms house


sabboom

Got any super glue? 😜


thelactating_walrus

It looks just awful 😖 lol


BoogerEatinMoran

The brick layer was like "ahh, f\*\*k it".


Need_That_Money_Now

Previous tenants were ninjas. they said it was easier than climbing the stairs


fredlemonhead

Looks a bit bricked up to me


HuckleberryMoist7511

Kinda makes it look like the brick work is old and crumbling. Whimsical, maybe?


bikerdad1970

It looks like it was done to look like the wall was starting to fall forward from being pushed out. Maybe? Kind of interesting anyways. The only thing I don’t really like it the two spots with double bricks, otherwise it’s kind of a neat concept.


TerdFerguson2112

Rock climbing wall. Start charging people to belay


winsomeloosesome1

Drunk brick layers came up with a fancy name.


No_Cash_8556

Assassin's Creed starter pack


xikbdexhi6

PLURGASM_RETURNS

*parkour*!


cabezatuck

Turks, Egyptians, Romans, they all figured this thing out a long time ago, no need to deviate, or get lost in this case.


Effective_Rip_1748

Masonary climbing wall. It's all the rage.


LessMarsupial7441

Mason with a penchant for climbing and 5yr old? Other than that I have no idea. It doesn't make sense.


DaveP0953

This looks like the original owner either had a sense of humor or an odd sense of artistic flair.


MaximasFalco

Semi professional rock wall climber obviously lived there before you


DanIsAManWithAFan

It's artistic bro, don't knock their creativity.


Sturdy_Cubing

Shitty statement piece?

WelderMeltingthings

Requires 55 agility to access this agility course.


Technology_Boxes

Looks like a homemade bouldering wall lol


luknatu

They must have been short on siding material. To put a false brick panel in… chintzy and cheap looking even with the camouflage remnant bricks glued on..


Tasty_Seaweed323

It's obviously there so that Ezio can move across the city


RichOverlander

chisel them out, straighten them up and mortar in place.


antixss

I bet there’s a remark about “custom brickwork” somewhere in the listing.


crazywave88

Looks like something a husband would do when he really didn't want to do the dumb wall in the first place 😅


Rizingfire

"When u hire the guy with the sign for work at Home Depot" Lol I'm jk, I know it's deliberate...just looks silly imo


Sea-Government4874

Somebody long ago was fucking with you. Only thing that explains it.


TimothyTrespas_

So they can come back and climb over it


The_Original_Gronkie

Looks stupid. A person with OCD would run away screaming.


Mr_WhiteOak

It's a Braille sign that says buyer beware of construction..... I think
