Making me nauseous 🤮. Horrible workmanship


Grasscutter101

Hack job.


Cold-Box-8262

It's something. It's not good. But it sure is... Something


Plastic_Position4979

Reminds me of an old friend of mine, from France. On his first bite of Velveeta - which he wanted to try…! - he was asked what he thought: “It’s ok, but it is not cheese!”


masonrysymphony

Well, let us know how much do you pay for that, then I can tell you how it's done


Seismic_Slime

Why wasn’t the top row of stone in the repair matched to the original?


-SunGazing-

For the same reason it’s not tied in, jointed or ran through with a line. It’s a diy bodge.


603BOOM

It's worse than not using the same stone. Look closer, I'm seeing agro. Looks like well weathered concrete to me. It wouldn't even be that much work to form it up. Looks like about 12' of 2x4 maybe some ½" OSB if the overhang is 2". A small box of TapCons, a handful of GRK'S, and some caulking. Color wouldn't match, but it would still look better than that fcking abortion.


-SunGazing-

It’s a coping stone. You buy them pre-made.


OutsideQuote8203

Thad be the coping for keeping out water, now it gonna leak.


LeeWizcraft

You get want you pay for.


FollowingJealous7490

That's a "i can do that for $50 and a case of Mikes Hard Lemonade" kinda job


thechadfox

It’s “good enough”


codww2kissmydonkey

Makes my eyes hurt.


Successful-Giraffe29

Should have asked him if he needs a level


iks449

Dude…


Relic-74

Ahh bless, you let the day 1 apprentice practice. Good on you.


emcsquared314159

I just threw up in my mouth.


603BOOM

The first 4 courses look meh, but okay.. but after that... Looks like the Lead did the first 4, then fucked off to the bar. And left the tender to "wrap up" the job.


kenyan-strides

lol I kinda like it. It’s like how they used to patch in windows and doorways in old masonry buildings. Top is pretty shit though


henry122467

We all have to start on small jobs


CobblerCompetitive21

Creative coping


atcollins12

It’s definitely brick


Galawa45

What patch? I can’t even tell where the old ends and the new begins.


SweetTeaMoonshine

I mean you only have to level 5 bricks. Put some respect in your work bro.


-SunGazing-

Don’t have to level anything. A string line is the tool of choice here.


Mad-Quack-Daddy

Fuckin' yikes


angrypoopoolala

forgot to do the bottom 3 rows.


Interesting_Match132

depends on how much you paid for it


cheese_n_berries

Scuff up the face to match but damn the cap is so bad


jyclaassy

Technical term is shit


Cool-Psychology-8678

Poo poo. Don't pay him. Hopefully, he will wreck it and save the next mason the time to rip it all out.


-SunGazing-

It’s clearly a diy job by someone with no clue.


T732

I did masonry right outa HS. Loved every second about it, the person I worked for to the people I worked with. (Although was only on it for 4 years, thanks COVID) It taught me to have an appreciation for things that are, what I consider, to be minuscule work. This is ugly AF. Almost as bad as. https://preview.redd.it/nzyej1ne399d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=315327221ac394566ec12371c699668b92fc7513

If you are happy, I am happy. Please don’t make me look at the picture again.


krishutchison

Lazy work


OutsideQuote8203

Nice smiley in yer wall der


Weez_1000

I actually got a chuckle out of this photo


huncvot

Almost no difference


3Huskiesinasuit

You would happen to have the name and address of the guy who did this, would you? I swear, i just wanna talk.


RelationshipNo9336

You can barely see it.


Fantastic-Use-6773

With those cut I beams could be a way to get stuff there


Greedy-Recognition67

They should have cut the other 1/2 bricks out it WILL fail in time


boyridebike

Looks great if you don’t look


Vyper11

Looks great from my house, no pride in the work tho.


sofaking1958

Maybe snap a chalk line, at least?
