Interesting video Sam . I noticed in your other videos you single course the block on flat , but on this 13 inch wall you have the block on flat wall double course . In Ireland we double course the block on flat all the time .it makes it easier to bond in the pillars .
Thanks! So we double coursed the block on flat here so we could tie it in with the block on edge, when doing the double course of block on flat do you line for both courses or just the top of the double block on flat?
Ah yea, that's the best way. I have seen people just have a line for the top of the two courses and put the two in at once, but to me there's too much room for error without the line on the first course!
This was to avoid filling the cavity with concrete below ground, it was easier in this instance to do this rather than fill the 100mm cavity with concrete (you fill the cavity with concrete to the last but one block of top of slab level). You can also buy trench blocks to do this so you're just laying one big block - I am editing a video on this at the moment
That's a lovely wall. Good to see it done by a pro
Great video 👌🏻⭐️
Another great video mate

@@SamDaviesBuilder you’d have the line up the 2 courses that’s the way you would be trained .

One I missed buddy. What is this sort of block laying configuration for? With the ones laid on edge then one laid normally next to it?

I love looking at your work. You do a great job. But looking at it from the head cam would give me a pain in my head..
Thankyou, will try and do a few different views of me laying blocks!
