Dude is hilarious -- would love to work with this cat. The secret to a good life is humor -- and I learned a lot from your vid -- particularly on filling odd gaps and throwing mortar. Keep it up!
You really know how to lay block and I like the 6" block which is plenty big enough for a lot of work. Thanks for taking the time to show us how to do these procedures and how to patch the low spots, etc.. Looks like you close the joints well so you don't have to go back and bag them.
You’re a funny guy… You seem to have found a way to comically deal with bad situation yet, still hold your principles for quality work. I can admire that. Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for pointing that out! That is exactly what I try to do every day. Sometimes life can be difficult but we have to try and look on the positive side. God bless you my friend!
I have searching every How To on laying block .. As a carpenter of 38 years .. I can do everything pertaining to block besides lay it !! LOL .. Now me and my big mouth has obligated myself to lay 120 block for a neighbors garage .. So I have to learn the grace quick
Thank you.....I always try to bring humor to our jobs. I am a small company with only 2 employees....but we have a good time on most days. Life is short....gotta make sure not to take everything seriously. Have a great day! PS....I hope to make some more videos very soon. God bless you!

@@markeugenelee2083 Not far from Faisalabad. The missionaries we are supporting are in Faisalabad. The kids there make bricks. It is really sad. They work so hard. They are so young. My heart breaks for them.
Same here bro,I'm in the states,small town WV and our gov sent all our jobs to China so I'm learning more skills as well. Good luck,never assume you know enough,always look for tips and pointers.
Fair play I seen this video come up on my suggestions and I initially clicked just to write that this should be called how not to lay block looking at the big joint however i watched it first start to end and I have to say I like your technique.. click bait in a good way keep up the good work 👍🏼 also I like to make sure my footings are shuttered rather than dumped and buttered iwith a shovel good job rescuing it tho
Are those footing below frost I live in pa and they would be 32in deep and I'd be laying 4 courses down in the ditch, it sucks but at least there's more than 50 block to lay
What you have here is sometimes referred to as a "ring around". Homes built on a slab. Gravel will be shot into the "hole" to level out the ground then concrete with wire poured to the top of the block that are used like a form. For the naysayers, on the comments, depending on where you are at the "code" is different and your allowed to make adjustments. It's called "humoring" as in funny. The fact that he adjusted to the footer being off without any trouble comes from experience. There is a saying in the trade that he's a "mechanic". Mechanics don't panic. Their the ones who get the call for stuff like that. Been a mason over 40 years and his work was fine. Just an observation, looked to be a "side job". He said he'd done one down the road so he's picking up work at this development.
I need to learn anew technique. My left elbow is bad off and the guys I'm with. lay fast. What would be a good way to lay with speed. I can't. 1 arm it anymore. Over rebar etc Thanks
Hey my dude, just subbed to ya a few days back because im about to build my first retaining wall. First time doing block work as well. To be honest, my commonsense, along with all the errors of it, is all i had to go on before checking out your videos. After four videos, i know im not ready. But starting the job tomorrow. Im more of an interior tradesman. Tile, framing, plumbing, etc... The client is fully aware of my level of knowledge and the invoice reflects these limitations. This wall is to act as a seawall to some extent and will be 25 foot long. ANY practical advise would greatly be appreciated. By practical, in this situation, i mean to say, "can be done by one man in 6 days" with 1000$ in materials. I am about to upload a video of it on you tube. Im not a content creator of any sort. My videos are for my own documentation and reflection, and for the benifit of clients.
Hi there how many courses high? If this is to hold back water I would recommend filling it solid and also giving it time to cure before putting water against it.....just my thoughts. If you haven't laid block before it will be a challenge. The key is to make sure it stays level.
@@RealityisaComedy the wall will be five, maybe six courses high. It won't be a seawall actually, i mispoke, but will be holding the Earth back from falling towards the river. The home is at the top of the bank and it is about a 40 foot elevation change at a 45 degree incilne. I plan on putting rebar in every other cell, 90d that the bottom into the footer and stub up through the cells. Every couple of courses I will lay a horizontal rebar the length of the wall and do a horizontal rebar on the top lentil course and backfill all the cells containing rebar with mud. 140 blocks minimun gotta tote it all alone from the street . Ill record some of my progess tomorrow or wednesday. Handling logistics of other jobs while tackling this job.
Does anyone else think this guy looks like Robin Williams... im 6 minutes into the video and thats all i can think about 😂😂😂 and he is funny too he even laughs like him!!! 😱
Hello! I just ran across your video looking for ways to correct an out square block foundation for a garage that is due to be built. My block foundation is out square by 2 inches. Any recommendations? Also I think we are in the same area. I am in Dearborn.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. That was brutal. None of that would have passed in Los Angeles. Learned a lot of correction techniques. I too, was wondering about the buckets, but I see your point about having to move down the line since you are only laying one course. Do the buckets get tossed at the end of the job? Just single use?
I clean them I have a water barrel. Eventually they get dry and cracked and I replace them. Horse feed buckets are the best I have found. They last longer than cheap ones.
Yes, I always use a level. You can also go with your string line as you go up. Make sure you have a string line from one side of the wall to the other that is level with where the top of block will be.
Reality is a Comedy Yes I understand you lay to a level line. But I notice you place a small level on top of each block. Instead of just laying to your line and keep going
Turned up on a job here in South Wales the home owner said to save money he'd do the footings no problems . When I got there and looked in the trench I couldn't believe my eyes some prick told him wet concrete finds its own level . So I turned up for my next job a week early . Someone built it though but not me
David Burt Oh man I can relate. It is rare I will agree to lay block on someone else’s footings. I do it sometimes but most of the time I say no because I know I will have to saw cut every block. I’m sorry that happened to you my friend.
@@RealityisaComedy this wasn't slightly out or even quite badly our this had a fall of a good tree feet I can't express how bad it was without showing you I was lost for words . The only thing you could do was dig it out and start again . I had a lovely week off though . I budget for things going tits up now and again happy day's 😁👍
David Burt Good for you my friend! Right now here in the USA we are not allowed to do construction where I live. They shut us down. Concrete suppliers are closed. We are hoping to open back up in 2 weeks but we have been shut down now for 6 weeks already. It has been tough here. I hope you are doing okay where you are God bless!
@@RealityisaComedy Yeap me too it's been five weeks now .all the guys are shut infact everything is shut . I'm lucky really now I'm over sixty because I've got a good pension and I've been able to slow down and not worry I hope you are doing ok mate I wish you all the best I enjoyed your video I'm off to bed now its way past midnight all the best Dave from Wales 🏴 not England they live next door 👍
It is not required here in Michigan, but we do use it if there are multiple courses of block needed. Sometimes the print calls for it even if there is 1 course, and I will use it then.
Hi Donny I apologize for the late reply. I use a laser when pouring -- I would make it as level as possible. I hope your project turned out well -- God bless!!
@@RealityisaComedy thanks! I am still digging to the different levels that my yard will be at. 3 different elevations. I probably won't be pouring my footings for another month because I work long hours. I appreciate your input!
Anything goes in Michigan I guess,.Who did that footing a bunch of 5th graders??Block laid on practically dirt but make sure the hurricane straps are in!! That's brutal!!
Is the string for elevation, or alignment? Is for elevation (making sure the blocks are at the correct elevation) how do you keep the line from sagging?.
Scott Tillman Pull the line tight with the wood blocks. I can do a video on that when I get some time. The line is to keep all block the same height. Level off block on each side of wall, then the string line will keep everything the same height.... if that makes sense. Thank you and God bless! Have a great day :)
Yes, I does make sense, but when I've strung the line (26 feet), and check the end with a laser, then pull tight, tight...the laser is off about 1/2 " in the middle (of course the laser isn't off, it's the line sagging...
I LOVE the line "Time to get a new laser"!!! No matter how tight you pull your line,braided is the best and strongest however the most expensive, the line can develop a swail from the weight of the line itself. There is a "toy" called a trig made of metal that you can use in the middle of the wall to bring it to the right height. Note, you have to be VERY CAREFUL that you do it right or your wall could end up with a hump,swail or a bow in the wall. Checking the height on occasion is ALWAYS a good idea.

Do you always use a level on top of each block you lay? And if you do, do you do it on taller block walls.
Yes, I always use a level. You can also go with your string line as you go up. Make sure you have a string line from one side of the wall to the other that is level with where the top of block will be.
Reality is a Comedy
Yes I understand you lay to a level line. But I notice you place a small level on top of each block. Instead of just laying to your line and keep going
It look easy than you thought.
A real help for the rookie mason is by using mortar spacers or a Masons Fork.
Good work
Hey 11:29 what are those flat metal rods that your putting in every other cell and why? The Noobmason . thx
Those are simpson anchor straps to hold the sill plate down for the framing work. God bless!!
Doesn't rebar need to go down into the footing to secure it?
One thing about starting to lay the first blocks, you gotta have a strong back. Which would later catch up to you in later life.
