    How accurate are those audible beeping levels that you use? I used to use visual transit and levels that were incredibly accurate and I've always wondered about the audible ones with the targets.

    Hey young fellas. Just wondering if you mix your own mortar and what ratio you are using (3 parts sand 1 part Portland cement?). If you mix your own, what kind of sand are you using? Thanks for the tips in the video. I want to build a greenhouse foundation with 10" block (7 high about 100').

    @keenanonie Před 3 lety

    When you insert the rebar in the old foundation and lay a block over it in the new foundation, do you need to fill in the block all around the rebar with mortar or concrete to grip the rebar? Or what is it that keeps the new foundation from separating laterally from the old one?

      In this video I started laying at 12:30 and stopped at 7. I laid 108 block. That was about 16 an hour- so around 130 a day. That was with a level so it was slower. When I run walls I can lay a lot more than that

      With no experience that's hard. It took me awhile to get the hang of spreading the mud. I will take a video of the Jake's spreading to give you an idea of what it looks like starting out. It also takes time to figure out how to set the blocks. It would be a fantastic learning experience though. It's not too big and shouldn't take too long, even with no experience
