    No ! It is the wind that has knock the blocks down. I think the masons run of cement mortar they just place the blocks on top without putting mortar in between the blocks the speed in your area high it results the blocks falling off.

      @stephenokyere5216 Год назад +1

      @iAmLeslieJones : The man should know better than that tell him to read about activities of wind and rocks he will soon find the truth.
      wind can knock rocks down sometimes change rocks formation example is rocks pedestal read on see how powerful wind is.
      I will only understand if they run out of mortar in that situation it understandable. They don't want to leave the blocks on the ground.
      If not so the mortar was too dry that will be another reason. they didn't put the right amount of water 💦 in the morta to hold the blocks together.
      You can eyeballs the amount of water 💦 in concrete in windy areas more water is needed to serves as glue to bring the two blocks together.
      If the amount of water in the concrete is less in a windy area, the mortar dry faster, which can cause the blocks to fall off when a stronger blow on the blocks that is the problem.
      No human has knocked down the blocks its the activities of higher wind speed in the area that has resulted in that problem.
      It happens in a lot in building in windy areas of the world when wind activities are prevalent it is the cause of the blocks falling off.

    Leslie, glad to see you back to continue working on your dreams. Please stay positive and don’t dwell on negativity. I wouldn’t have shown the wall video because it could’ve been sloppy work by the workers. The blocks are all there so no theft so why show it? I would suggest you just stay focused and get things accomplished without posting too many negative videos because everyone understands that there’re challenges in Ghana and sometimes the situation may not be as bad as it is conveyed on RUclips. That’s just my 2 cents.

      @@iAmLeslieJones I like the fact that you share the good, the bad , and everything in between. There are multiple facets to everything. Showing all of it tends to paint a true picture of the process and possibilities as well as opportunities for growth. “Anything covered up can’t heal”. It’s time out for us not speaking truth. It also helps people who see or think this process is all rosy. Keeps us from getting disappointed or disillusioned when setbacks in our own project aspirations arise.
