Good way to put it Kenton.
Chris had me going for a while there when I saw his post last night.

I was thinking how brick gets wet anyway so maybe there is no harm or foul.

Please share with us Bob. This should be good.

Btw... it doesn't really matter 'how' it get's wet, just that it does.

PS... pee'ing on it after a few drinks does the same damage as a dog pee'ing on the A/C. JMHO.

I had to shove my way through thick, tall bushes once to see the exterior walls. I noticed a lot of patched woodpecker holes. All of a sudden this godawful, terrible loud, shrill screaming started right at my feet! 'bout gave me a heart attack. They had installed exterior speakers with a recording of a bird in distress on a loop, turned up full volume, trying to keep the woodpeckers away. I happened to start my inspection at the silent part of the loop.
