In Reply to: Concrete block wall posted by Brad Buchanan on November 06, 2013 at 06:56:43:
Hi Brad. I've don a lot of block laying in my time. Taught My son the way I was taught by my pal who had the patience to teach me many years ago. Some things will not be short cutted and if tried will make a sloppy and weak building. I suggest getting instructions from Google . Learn to make footings wide and strong enough to support a wall. Learn to set corners, laying first row as you would lay up any course. String wall. remember to turn the corners the correct way,use level to align wall so it is straight. 1/2 " MORTER JOINTS using small level to make sure the block sets level on the walls. Big 5 ft level to check the block on the outside of the wall so wall doesn't lean out or in. Lots to remember when laying block. Done several buildings and the last one was at my daughters home basement. Victor my son) can do a job of laying block as good as any block layer around. Here is a picture of My Garage and it was the same size as my daughters basement except I added an inside wall for an extra room besides a garage underneath. Do as much reading as .possible ,talk with a contractor who lays em up. Dont be afraid to give it a try. Start the corners right and most likely the rest will come into line. seek advice from one who does it for a living, is my best advice. Learning a new trade from the fellows who does it for a living is a big plus.Remember 3 -8" block equal 4 feet. Regards LOU

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
