the hiccup cure

HICUP IN MY HAND!!!
BOO!
Drink a cup of water backwards.
A spoonful of sugar.
Cover your ears.
Pull on your tongue.
Everyone has their own way to get rid of hiccups. For our last hiccup that I told you all about back here,  we just called the mason. If only drunk hiccups were that easy to get rid of. The cliff notes, we wanted to expose the brick and came across this:
woof.
The mason was originally concerned we wouldn’t be able to find brick to match but looks like he did!


I can’t even tell you where the break was, it looks amazeballs. Exceeded my expectations yet again! Maybe I should increase my standards?! mm nah. They did the same thing on the inside brick that they did on the outside brick, but, instead of taking down formstone they took down plaster, repointed the brick and filled in where necessary.
I LOVE the way brick looks in a row home, it's so authentic. Yeah, it's not energy efficient and yeah, it may rub off on you when you walk by and yeah it may start to crumble but I've never been one for practical and I'm all for sacrificing comfort for beauty.
