Why did the front fall off?

IIRC, they do this intentionally. If left alone, they'll erode and work their way into the mortar around the bricks (and occasionally into the bricks themselves), grow heavier, and take bricks in the facade with them when they're removed, requiring expensive replacement work. Worst case, I've seen pictures of these sort of creepers taking the whole brick wall down off the foundation when removed.

English ivy will absolutely burrow into the cracks in the mortar and bricks. Boston ivy though is relatively harmless to brick and concrete buildings, it uses little sucker pads that don't burrow into the cracks. The school i work at has a pretty healthy covering of Boston ivy, it gets some amazing colors in the fall and the crows enjoy being able to wall-walk while eating the berries.

Interesting to know, thanks!

Intentionally, but how do they do it? I assume it’s more involved than just cutting the top and the sides. But maybe it’s just that simple?

Again, memory is a bit fuzzy on this, but in the video I watched, you can spray it with some sort of chemical that helps to loosen/kill the roots clinging to the side, then they use a powerwasher and just kinda peel it like an orange.

I'm not sure if buildings have feelings, but I bet that would feel so good to remove that foliage.

I wanna know how you're not sure if buildings have feelings

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

I just wanna know what sounds it made when it peeled off.

Wardrobe malfunction, I see your rock hard brickles.

This looks like it was on purpose but the wind can also get them. Scroll down a bit to see it fall:

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
