One way to add a splash of color

One of our favorite corner homes at 8th and Park Paseo has a whole new collection of flower pots in BLUE to adorn the lawn and porch. We used pictures of this home when we posted previously about weeping brick or weeping morter

several names but one great effect

I've heard it called weeping brick, weeping mortar, bleeding mortar, as well as ugly and beautiful, and awful and wonderful. I prefer the beautiful and wonderful to describe this method of buiding with brick.

It's also faster and easier, because you just let the mortar squeeze out instead of scraping off the excess.

We see them scattered around Vintage Vegas, but there's a whole neighborhood pocket of them in the SW corner of Eastern and Charleston. It's called Crestwood Homes. Crestwood is one of the up and coming neighborhoods of VV. The streets are Ballard, Peyton, and Houston.

I had a tenant offer to paint a house I owned that had weeping brick. He didn't have rent that month, so I let him work it off.

I came over a few days later and found he had chiseled off all of the mortar. Still sick about it.
