That line about every single unit turning to mush is what gets me, because once brick gets that far gone there's no real fixing it. Best you can do is stand them up on edge with gaps between each one and get air moving across them for a few days, but soaked red clay commons never come back right. They'll look fine on the outside and then crumble or spall once they're in the wall and the freeze hits, and that's a callback you don't want. For a 500 count pallet I'd eat it and reorder, then next time strap the tarp down with concrete blocks on the corners so the wind can't peel it.

Wait, so you just accepted the industrial air handler as your new sleep savior without questioning if that one has a hidden flaw too? Because I did the exact same thing with a "distant thunderstorm" track and after like two weeks I noticed this faint beeping buried in the background, drove me crazy. So now I gotta ask, did you actually listen to the air handler one on full volume with headphones before committing, or did you just hit play and pass out? Because if there's a random hum or click in there you'll be back to square one and out of options.
