I always love brickwork.  It looks great and stands the test of time like no other material.  Until something bad happens and then it is a colossal pain in the smurf to fix properly.   :facepalm:

There are so many brick buildings and houses in this city that I have to wonder where the giant hole is that all of that clay came out of!

With all the brick I have laid over the years I have wondered how big of a hole there would be with all the clay I have used as well :D

I could see this being interesting to add, but I'm wondering about the wiring, and lifespan... would be a pita to swap.
