You can't lay brick that is irregular by nature straight. Every row will be different by definition. The placement of the venting will be affected.

Out of curiosity, do you work for this builder? You can lay irregular brick without the wall looking crooked! We've used +100 year old brick for homes that came from old factories and warehouses that is very irregular but the brick joints and wall is straight...only the brick is irregularly shaped not the wall.

I don't understand how you can look at a wall like this example and tell me or anyone else that it's intentionally made to look like that! Just look at those window sills, instead of using a precast concrete or stone they made of brick...any one who knows anything about masonry will tell you that those will start falling apart in 10-15 years!!!! There are many examples of this in the GTA....

What exactly do you mean by irregular by nature? I'm no expert by any means so please correct me if I'm wrong but, I see an engineered stone/brick veneer, 1/2 thick, adhered to the wall. A mortar was used to fill in gaps between the brick veneer to make it appear as traditional brick courses. If right, how can you not get that level?

We've been approached by a publisher looking for a photo of Gehry's childhood home. Anybody have a shot they's like to get published? Contact me if interested.

Here's one I took 5 years ago from Queen:

Need a better shot than that. Something from the front would be best.

Here's one Archivist took a few years back:

 

[Edward Skira]

That's the one they want. The problem is Archivist is MIA. He doesn't respond to my attempts at contact.

Exterior elevator was taken down last week, signs that it might be inhabitable in the fall?
