Warning: Saw a brick wall in a Denver brewery patio that was laid with zero header courses
It was a 12-foot section, just all stretchers, and the owner said it was 'modern art'. Anyone else seen something that made you just shake your head?

Modern art, huh? That's a new one. I've seen some weird stuff in my day, but calling a clear code violation "art" is pretty bold. At least it wasn't holding up a roof.

Calling a clear code violation 'art' is pretty bold" made me laugh. My buddy had a client who wanted to keep a totally wrong deck railing because it was "rustic character." He had to explain that the wobble wasn't an artistic choice, it was a splintery lawsuit waiting to happen. The guy finally agreed to fix it, but I heard he still tells guests it's an "interactive sculpture" that changes over time. Some people just really commit to the bit.

Honestly, that's the kind of move I'd pull and then try to sell it as a feature. My own DIY projects are basically a gallery of "what not to do." At least a patio wall isn't load bearing, so the only thing it's really hurting is our professional pride.
