Those break out pieces are supposed to laid inside the openings in which they were broken from according to my engineer. I'm doing a block wall to fix my about 34 feet of my foundation. My engineer and the block company guy who's been in the business for 40 years - both said those break out pieces should be laid in the blocks holes.
@@KingSobieski cheaper than hiring a outfit to pour solid walls. Especially if your not worried about leakage, because that's the biggest problem with block walls other than falling apart if not reinforced.
I'm not really sure how to pour a horizontal reinforced bond beam and a vertical beam where they intersect in the middle of a wall. I assume either one or the other wouldn't be a continuous pour at that intersection if the wall keeps going higher than the horizontal bond beam.
I'm building a shed where the back wall will be CMU this is a retaining wall as a structural wall. I have vertical #4 rebar every 16" & horizontal bond beam every 2 courses am I over doing it?
Thank you man for sharing your experience, I'm learning good things from you for my coming project.
Thanks!

I don't think it was discussed in the video, why would you *NOT* want to fill the entire wall for a load bearing wall?
Itd be heavy and expensive.

cool video! I was wondering how to do this.

I always use empty mortar bags to plug cores.
Can you add Roofslap to these kind of house

That's quite a lot of reinforcement...depends what you're retaining!
Over engineering is a matter of opinion. Under engineering is a matter of fact. My new favorite quote from the garage journal.
