Besides the obvious mistakes like crooked and slanted walls or the wall being a few centimeters off, there are definitely things you can do wrong. Here are two photos, errors are explained in the spoiler box. Anyone can stack bricks but building a house properly and exactly according to plan is another matter. Luckily there is the forum, so you can see that it can be much worse than with my masons -.-
Bed joints are not correct. Bricks are mortared only in the middle, but it should be fully covered. You shouldn’t be able to stick anything in there, especially not several centimeters.
Insufficient overlap of the bricks.
If you had built your own house yourself, you certainly wouldn’t have left these gaps. The bad craftsman just didn’t care.
