8"and 12" block are pretty much the norm here in the states in my area you get use to the weight man after 40 years lol enjoy the videos keep up the good work 👍👍👍

This is exactly the same as the bottom of my garden. We've built it up with gabion cages. Some neighbors have used block and some just accept that their garden is a flood plain.

Did anyone get an early bath walking down those slippery narrow bits 😁. Great job mate.

Haha, there was a few close calls 😬 but none of us had to swim 🤣 cheers mate 👍🧱

Green with algae and uncleaned surface from dust... 5:36 Hmmm the mortar certainly has good contact. :)

3-1 underground mix used, sticks like s**t to a blanket that stuff, not going anywhere 👍

funny watching english lay block...check out fastest trowel on the block in las vegas. I'm terrible at brick but over here in the usa we fly with block

@MorganTheBuilder 7 месяцев назад

Yeah these aren’t so common in the UK 👍🧱

@thomasschafer7268 7 месяцев назад

Don't you have concrete formwork stones? A better result. Monolitic .

What happens to all the rain water that goes down between the metal siding & the back of the blocks?

@MorganTheBuilder 7 месяцев назад

Good question. I genuinely don’t know, it’s how it was before we started. There’s gravel behind the wall and under the building so I’m assuming there’s some sort of land drain 🤔

@MyEconomics101 7 месяцев назад

Why did you not add horizontal rebar in it as well? Was no structural engineering assessment paid for by the owner? And for such a specific wall, possibly exposed to water for days (possibly every year) was no special mortar (with an extra bonding agent like SikaBond SBR+) used as well?

@MorganTheBuilder 7 месяцев назад

You don’t use horizontal rebar with these blocks, just rebar through the hollows then fill with concrete 👍 No structural drawing, it’s just a cheap quick option to hopefully prevent it ever happening again. It’s only ever flooded once before as far as we know and that was over 10 years ago, it was a very freak and unfortunate event but the owner just wanted the wall higher for abit of peace of mind Mortar was 3-1 underground spec, so good enough for this situation 👍

thanks for the reply @@MorganTheBuilder

Interesting job morgan . why are you Laying the blocks upside down .

@MorganTheBuilder 7 месяцев назад

Cheers mate 👍🧱 I wasn’t aware I was 🤔 do these blocks have a right way up as they’re hollow all way through?

@brickbybric 7 месяцев назад

@@MorganTheBuilder they usually come banded upside down that’s the way they are popped out of the gang moulds .some block yards have a machine to turn them the right way up but most don’t . Your labourer when he is stacking them should turn them the right way up . They are easier to handle when they are laid the right way up . Thin side down your bedding the thicker side .

@MorganTheBuilder 7 месяцев назад

@@brickbybric ah right, genuinely didn’t know that. Thought they was the same all round, just heavy and awkward 🤣🤣👍

@brickbybric 7 месяцев назад

@@MorganTheBuilder ya best to avoid them if you can 55 lb weight . the American version you see them slinging around with one hand are only 35 lb still heavy but considerably lighter . The metric equivalent of the American one is 390 x 190x190.
