I'd like to get an expert opinion on the location of what appears to be a gap between two bricks on the first course of brick on the footer row just above the ground (see photo). The masons are about half-way in bricking tmy new home. When I went to look at their work the other day, this small section of wall on the front of the house with a double window does have some weep holes just above the second row of bricks, but what is this gap on the first row (that I've circled in red)? It looks out of place to me, but perhaps there's a purpose for it? The 3 other walls around the house don't seem to have this (just the usual weep holes on the third row above grade), but is it maybe just an oversight? But overall, their work looks great, and perhaps I'm just jumping the gun and should just pay attention to the final product because they aren't finished yet? Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
