Building The House 27 - Making Hourdi Blocks For A Concrete Roof 

Thanks for sharing the work that goes into preparing blocks for homes on my favorite continent!

You are doing great, God bless your handwork

Thank you for sharing this will definitely come in handy one day brother

Wow u did a Nice job here keep it up more grace

This is amazing

How did I missed this video I don’t know but am watching now thanks

I want to know how many wheel barrow of sand to 1 bag of cement is required to produce the 60x15x20 blocks

More Grace

THE blocks are looking good

Nice

Hi, great work. What kind of sand are u using and mixing ratio?

I have to put a thumbs up on all your video's forgot got caught up watching them. I am building in Ghana and I have reach roofing but the way they built in Togo is different from in Ghana. There are some parts which are similar.

How to interlock in the masonry??

I need one of the moulds

doing this manually is so difficult and labor intensive. its better to have a concrete block machine to have higher production capacity and smoother production process.

Good morning, I live in Ghana. Can you organise some workers to mould some blocks for me please.

Good job. Kindly share the dimensions with me. God bless you for good work.

that impact pressure is so minimal compare to the machine this can cause cracks on hourdi blocks....affecting the roof...

thx for this video. What's the ratio sand/gravel?

Hi - good job and well done. Please can you send me pictures and dimensions of the mould? Cheers

Hi, good work and thanks for sharing. I would like to know the mixing ratio of the material.

20 bags of cement gave you how many blocks ?

Watching from Canada but building in ghana. Sent you email no response yet. Please want to know a few more details like mixting ratio and the mould where i can get one please Thanks you

You are doing good job congratulations I am India Chennai can you give dimensions {photos}of mould and mixing proposal

I have to admin. This is amazing, I'm watching from South Africa. I've been looking for this kind of hourdi block mould. How can I purchase this mould?

Hello, can you tell me where you bought the formwork for the concrete ceiling stones. Or is it built yourself? If so, please make a video of how you produced it. Greetings from Germany

What's the size of the hordis block with four hole ?

It’s like the sand quality in Ghana and Nigeria is not good, in Sierra Leone we have pure sand but our guys really have no clue on how to build houses

Where can I buy the molds?

Hi. Great content. Could you hook me up with your architect or engineer. Greetings from USA. Thanks

How much houdi 6" bricks can come from a 50kgs cement bag?

Great job, I like you work i have seen the block dimensions is 60cmx15cmx20cm. What is your cement strength? Quantity of sand per bag of cement and how many blocks per bag? Did you use cement and sand only or what else? What type of sand do you use? I will appreciate your response.

How many for bag

How many bedrooms will the house be.

but the problem here is that you're getting your sand wet with water, and some of it is running from (possibly) gutters. and in gutters, there are chemicals and human urine. all of these liquids change the strength properties of the block. so you must protect your sand from rain, from puddles coming from streets and gutters, because all of those things are changing the strength of the block. you can not take a chance with this, because these blocks are on the roof above peoples' heads. the chemistry normally changes with time, with all blocks. now you don't know what type of chemicals are in your water, which can have a bad reaction in the future. this can take lives. protect your sand, protect all of your materials that you put into these blocks. do it the right way, because you don't want a customer to complain that somebody got hurt, or even dead, because of your block products. so clean your environment. invest in plastic tarps and blocks to cover your sand. there is a place in Accra that tests blocks. you may take one block there, and they will tell you what the strength is. this is important, if you really want to win. but if you're playing with yourself and your time and don't check these things, this can be a disaster. do not say nobody told you. keep learning.

Can I have you contact email or number? I need to speak with you about using this for a building in Accra where I think you're based?. Thanks

Hi, what is the size of the block? W x L x H.
