Hi Rich
I don't think that is the problem in that it is random all over the piece and
there is no way these could have been damaged. There will be a row with 30 pure
white and 20 yellowed and the new row is both also. This is from the bottom of
the piece to the top on all sides. There is now way these could have come loose
or have been repaired. I would say that 1/5 of the bricks are yellowed,
randomly on all walls. It would have destroyed the piece to replace any on the
walls in this number. Any other thoughts? Thanks
