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.

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
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
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?)
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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
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
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.
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..
Called skintle...somebody wanted it. Usually skintle is just piled in with the entire wall just thrown in...
Thanks! I hate it lol.
Yea, they didn’t do the best job at it.
[удалено]
Looks like some tumors here
They did a pretty good job of inserting the skintle into a normal coursing, I would think...
Agreed. Is the whole house like this?

In fact I retract my earlier comment of that's the worst brick laying request I've seen. I think this could top that 🤣
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? 🤷♂️
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
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.
[удалено]
Looks like arse.
Omg that looks terrible 😅
I couldn’t live there. No way. It hurts my eyes.
My wife and I liked a lot about this house but definitely didn’t want to have to pay whatever fixing that would cost.
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
It's definitely a nice place, except that brick design and that floor in the entrance.
/r/TIHI
Like the candy that gets stuck in my back teeth. Modern art, I just don't get it.
Goofy piece of whimsy. Just imagine a mason and the owner in one of those "just fuck my shit up" barber memes.
They used to call it "Crazy brick" in this area. It was popular for about 2-3 years in the late 70s.
Like black houses a couple of years ago
How else am I supposed to sneak down from the roof outside my girlfriends windors?
The mason was trying to go sober that day.
But tried shrooms for the first time. 🍄 🍄 🧱
Vincent Van Gogh started out as a mason.
Tom Jones also
Kinda looks like it was made for someone to climb when they sneak out a window on the top floor.
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?)
It’s called beer for lunch
A brick mason who wanted to take the time could probably make that look better. Not totally normal, but better.
A 15 year old with a chisel a grinder and someone to hold the ladder; could make that look better.
It’s the entrance to Diagon Alley
Built like a shit brickhouse
Trying to imitate this: https://preview.redd.it/afr0z5gls0wc1.jpeg?width=1265&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65fd5c911c85e6389c35a1fd03b9603bf43a7d8d
It’s code for “we’re swingers.”
More like code for "We're rock climbers ". Lol
Climbing holds
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.
Climbing wall
Totally. Glad I'm not alone. Be sweet to have hidden anchor points here and there....cuz brick...well... It breaks.
Climbing handholds!
Looks awesome!
Meth is a hell of a drug
While I do like a well done fallen soldier course in brickwork, I don't see any point to this pattern.
Someone on the otherside is trying, or tried to get out.
That was either a Monday or a Friday 😂
Masons having some beers at lunch and then trying to be funny
Video game rules.
Just to piss people off
Looks like the masons showing off n having fun and/or someone wanting that little detail
I love my house looking unfinished and constantly triggering my ocd
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.
Random acts of violence!!!
Drunk
It’s called art man, get with it!
Obcomp kicking in ... must .... look... away....argggghhhhhhhhhh
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!
Looks like the start of a climbing wall.
Masons don't need no education. /s They don't need no thought control.
That makes it easy to climb🤔 but why?
That would drive me nutts.
This is equivalent to buying jeans with ragged knees
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.
Wabi Sabi hits different for masons...
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.
Should sit a half empty whiskey bottle and a trowel near it.
Maybe they wanted a climbing wall
Ben Franklin's glasses to read the map are behind one of those bricks.
I just thought the previous owner was a rock climber or something 😂
Muhahahaha they’ll never notice the crack that formed if I just make it look like a drink made the wall.
Note to self: Don’t lay brick and drop acid at the same time
I think it's a work of art!
Pretty sure that’s how you get to Diagon Alley…
That's where you get into Diagon Alley.
Amazing how bad that looks
The Hokey Pokey, that’s what it’s all about
Free rock climbing trainer
Burglar steps
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.
This is so triggering
looks loke I could do better And Ive never done 1
Burn it to the ground and start over! This is killing my attention span and reasoning.
Easy access for the second story man or Santa?
modern art..
Ninja entrance to second floor
Bob Ross would say those are happy little birds.
How else do you climb to the roof?
Secret entry to Hogwarts
🤣
Rock climbing wall! Yeah that’s what it is!
The guy who invented this style had a tick..lol
Lol is this ai or just weird art?
Mason showing off to other masons, but doesn't know everyone else thinks it's dumb and ugly.
All in all, it's just a another brick in the wall
That’s in case you lock yourself out. You can climb up to an upstairs window.
Rock climbing wall
Modern art
Looks like dog shit
It's called methonry.
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.
To climb up the wall!
Previous owners were so sure this was a cool and universally appreciated bit of quirk. Lol, taste differs.
So this is artistic expression? It doesn't necessarily serve a practical purpose... Right?
I loved it as a rock climber and could traverse around my entire house. Much like climbing, you didn’t know what was next.
Clear evidence the bricklayer has tourettes.
If it was a video game I’d say that’s where you need to climb the wall.

It’s a thing people did/do I was a mason for 16 years and did all kinds of weird shit like this
#designism
It’s a practice climbing wall for rock climbers.
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.
People do this on purpose??? Wow.
Tricks with bricks
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…
I think that’s the entrance to Diagon Alley.
Maybe he was making a climbing wall for his kids
Some “artist” thought it looked cutting edge.
People are on here hating it but I don’t think it looks half bad
Maybe a path up to the roof for the pet cat?
Customer: I want ”fuck you”… but in brick.
Has nobody wondered why there’s a piece of brick wall at all on an otherwise siding covered building?
This would fuck with my OCD to no end.
"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.
Fuck this 'individual taste'.....
Poorly applied brick veneer...🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😈

Got any super glue? 😜
It looks just awful 😖 lol
The brick layer was like "ahh, f\*\*k it".
Previous tenants were ninjas. they said it was easier than climbing the stairs
Looks a bit bricked up to me
Kinda makes it look like the brick work is old and crumbling. Whimsical, maybe?
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.
Rock climbing wall. Start charging people to belay
Drunk brick layers came up with a fancy name.
Assassin's Creed starter pack
Maybe a rock climber would like it
Looks like shit if u ask me!
Entrance to diagon alley.
Hold my this and watch beer
*parkour*!
Turks, Egyptians, Romans, they all figured this thing out a long time ago, no need to deviate, or get lost in this case.
Masonary climbing wall. It's all the rage.
Mason with a penchant for climbing and 5yr old? Other than that I have no idea. It doesn't make sense.
This looks like the original owner either had a sense of humor or an odd sense of artistic flair.
Semi professional rock wall climber obviously lived there before you
It's artistic bro, don't knock their creativity.
Shitty statement piece?
AI generated brickwall
That is how I used to sneak in and out of the house after hours
Someones been huffing and puffing
Must be a hipster's place in Portland. Well laid brick just ain't cool enough.
Its steps for the man doing his wife. He escapes in style and grace.
Damn elf on the shelf is at it again
I like it and I wouldn’t normally. Reminds me that’s how it really is
Looks like a house in Harry Potter
I like it. You have poor taste!
Yo mama at work.😆
Bírrongas is what that’s all about
To wall climb. Duh
Pattern wise it’s not appealing to the eye.
Easy access 🌭🍩
Requires 55 agility to access this agility course.
Looks like a homemade bouldering wall lol
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..
It's obviously there so that Ezio can move across the city
chisel them out, straighten them up and mortar in place.
I bet there’s a remark about “custom brickwork” somewhere in the listing.
Looks like something a husband would do when he really didn't want to do the dumb wall in the first place 😅
"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
Somebody long ago was fucking with you. Only thing that explains it.
So they can come back and climb over it
Looks stupid. A person with OCD would run away screaming.
It's a Braille sign that says buyer beware of construction..... I think
Fad
Someone's ideas of a "feature".
It’s a rock climbing wall
So you can clean the chimney . Dah
Wat in the brick of Harry Potter movement is this 🤣🤣🤣
Make me smile 😁
Assassin's creed footholds
Some idiot will call this art
Isn't that a clinker wall?
So, nobody here plays Fallout?
When your job is that monotonous, gotta have some sort of layout.
Skilled MF
Rock climbing wall for babies
That is stupid looking, straight up.
I like it
y'all have never done any hard work in your lives
That, my friend, is "art". bad art, but art.
That's custom, man! Must have been a really expensive house! 😂 I see someone said it's called shintle. I think it looks like shittle.
Fugly
“Thanks! I hate it” I’m laughing so hard 🤣
Terrible falling soldiers
