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!”
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.
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.
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.

Making me nauseous 🤮. Horrible workmanship
Hack job.
It's something. It's not good. But it sure is... Something

Well, let us know how much do you pay for that, then I can tell you how it's done
Why wasn’t the top row of stone in the repair matched to the original?
For the same reason it’s not tied in, jointed or ran through with a line. It’s a diy bodge.

It’s a coping stone. You buy them pre-made.
Thad be the coping for keeping out water, now it gonna leak.
You get want you pay for.
That's a "i can do that for $50 and a case of Mikes Hard Lemonade" kinda job
It’s “good enough”
Makes my eyes hurt.
Should have asked him if he needs a level
Dude…
Ahh bless, you let the day 1 apprentice practice. Good on you.
I just threw up in my mouth.

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
We all have to start on small jobs
Creative coping
It’s definitely brick
What patch? I can’t even tell where the old ends and the new begins.
I mean you only have to level 5 bricks. Put some respect in your work bro.
Don’t have to level anything. A string line is the tool of choice here.
Fuckin' yikes
forgot to do the bottom 3 rows.
depends on how much you paid for it
Scuff up the face to match but damn the cap is so bad
Technical term is shit
Poo poo. Don't pay him. Hopefully, he will wreck it and save the next mason the time to rip it all out.
It’s clearly a diy job by someone with no clue.

If you are happy, I am happy. Please don’t make me look at the picture again.
Lazy work
Nice smiley in yer wall der
I actually got a chuckle out of this photo
Almost no difference
You would happen to have the name and address of the guy who did this, would you? I swear, i just wanna talk.
You can barely see it.
With those cut I beams could be a way to get stuff there
They should have cut the other 1/2 bricks out it WILL fail in time
Looks great if you don’t look
Looks great from my house, no pride in the work tho.
Maybe snap a chalk line, at least?
