Carole Stemkowskis curiosity grew every time she drove by the strange wall of higgledy-piggledy blocks being erected in a cleared area along Highway 103 between Blockhouse and Bridgewater.

Intrigue compounded with each trip she made from her Liverpool home to work at the Chester Basin veterinary clinic.

At first, she thought it was going to be an extension to the storage facility behind the growing structure. But as the rows of bricks grew, the walls started to sag.

That is when she wondered if someones masonry work had gone terribly wrong.

Wooden boards were added. Like many, Stemkowski wondered if they were to stabilize the sagging walls.

A lot of people think its the work of a really bad contractor at first, chuckled Nicole Krebes.

It is crooked, the seams dont match up and there are massive gaps. It is coming along just the way Nicole and her husband, Bernd, planned it.

The Bridgewater couple is building a maze. When all is said and done in three to five years, the outer walls will look like they flow rather than sag, the dips filled in with plaster.

The outside wall will have beautiful ceramic and glass mosaics and a painted Canadiana scene that will include a 24-square-metre Maple Leaf jutting out.

Inside, fishing nets will hang from wires strung from one outer wall to another and adorned with 1,300 vines that Nicole is now growing at home.
