I'm having a garage built at the house. Its difficult enough, that I hired my brotherinlaw to be the GC. Its what he does for a living. Foundation got poured without incident. I pull up the day they laid the block and saw this. If you cant tell whats going on, the top two rows are skewed from the bottom 3-4 rows and they "glued" on a brick ledge on the back and one side. Turns out they laid all but the top two rows out of square with the house (would not have been a big deal). So they knocked down as much as they could that hadn't hardened and twisted those rows to be square to the house. The top two layers are square and all the "glued" mess will be covered up with concrete and dirt, but man do I wish they hadn't done that. Its up and in the dry without any other incidents (that I know of). I would say lesson learned, but I don't know what I could have done to prevent that other than sit there while they laid the block out.
