Homeowner paid him just $100, but he delivered work that looked worth $3,000. That hole in the wall most workers would just brick it up flat and finish in half a day. But he did the opposite. He cut the bricks one by one, then stacked them in a crisscross pattern, slowly building out that herringbone shape. One brick locking over the next, turning the whole thing into something beautiful. This is called a herringbone pattern. It's often used for decorative brickwork. So he was not just closing the hole, he was turning it into a feature. But that kind of work is hard. The opening was uneven. If even one brick was cut slightly wrong, the whole pattern could drift off in the middle, and the wall might have to be redone. To make the wall look perfect, he even cut the bricks along the very edge. When it was done, the pattern looked tight and clean, and the joints were so straight, what should have taken half a day took him three full days. When the homeowner saw it, he was stunned at first. But once he found out it took two extra days, he got mad, said the guy had gone way over time and fired him on the spot. So what about you? Would you pay extra for a finish like this, or just want the hole closed fast?
