I've discovered laying narrower block can be a bit of a booger, so appreciate the tips there. Looking forward to you doing some stuff with 4 inch block.
Sometimes If you want to spend a couple extra cents you can use a semi-solid on the top course of 8’s and that makes it easier. I’m kinda cheap tho haha. And I can lay em easy enough like I do here. Just have a couple rocks in the pocket
Do you now use these block corners to run a stringline? How do you make sure the level of the string line from mortared in corner block to another side?
I find doing step 2 before 1 more beneficial as step 2 can knock off the level of step 1. I like to make sure my block has a level face 1st which is step 2 in the video.
Just laying some block now for my garden shed. I'm glad I found your Channel; lots of great practical tips. I noticed that the 6" block isn't a return corner (L shape looks like an 8" from outside). Is that typical for your part of the world? Do you cut 1 5/8" filler pieces to keep your bond?
@@masonthemason6412 They do in Ontario. Unfortunately they're metric equivalent sizes. Might overcome the rocking/shim problem. There are also similar corner blocks for 10's and 12's.
