I finally spoke against the thin brick craze in our downtown project.

All the other trades think thin bricks save time, but I've seen them fail in damp spots. The library addition last spring had moisture issues behind the veneer within months.

That library example you gave says it all. People forget that any moisture problem becomes a major fix once the veneer is up. Good on you for speaking up when you've seen it fail.

Watched a whole wall rot from one small leak behind stone cladding.

That hidden leak @kevin_gonzalez saw proves how fast small water problems become big ones.
