Beautifull work! I can tell you are very proficient. Do you have a helper or work by yourself? About how long would you say it takes you to complete a hundred square feet of open wall area with Ledgestone?

How much did you charge for fabricating and installing it? Foot cost ?

I was a Cultured Stone rep for over 14 yrs. There are many ways to lay the stone but if you want 30 yr plus longevity you need to put up a scratch coat of mortar and screed it before laying the stone. You made sure to cover the entire back of the stone with mortar which is good. This way water will not lay in any gaps causing stones to pop off from freeze thaw cycles. Lastly I worked with my distributor to create a concrete profiles company to supply caps, lintels, trim stones etc made from concrete. We used wet sand in the molds instead of plastic ensuring a stone type texture instead of the plastic folds which honestly looks crappy for the money the owner shells out. It also ensures you eliminate those holes on the surface which after many freeze thaw cycles will spall and turn the surface ugly prematurely.

What size blocks was used for this ?

Don't you have to wet the wall first?

Looks like you would have shown how to lay stone. Bad video.😝

Excellent job..I see nobody is casting concrete post anymore, so do you full all the holes in the blocks,or just the ones with rebars in it?....

To prevent debris/dirt from building up in the drain plug area, dig your hole about 6" (or more!) deeper than desired. I put 6 inches (or more!) gravel in the bottom of the hole (my soil is sandy so it drains well). Set the elbow of your yard hydrant coming from the water source on the gravel. Then put 6 inches, or so, more gravel around the base/elbow. Before I backfilled more dirt in the hole, I covered the top layer of the rock with a HEAVY DUTY plastic sheet to prevent dirt from sifting through the rocks. I used a piece of plastic that was about a foot wider than the hold, so that I could tuck the excess down and around the rocks, causing the water to shed away then drain.

Explain the mesh please

Hello! How are these batteries holding up in 2024? Found one for 12.5k with generator, but not sure how much batteries will cost to replace.

Ima mason i can build a box outta wood, howd you lay the stone so dang pretty what i wanna know, what i was looking for walkthrough for, looks good tho

Nice I’ll give it a try

How you make the posts? Do you have a video?

what type of block is that. it can't be concrete

Why wouldn’t you put a riser on the inlet side.

Yeah - Easy Peasy in sand/dirt - try it in ROCK!

Nice work! Although I would through in some z ties. Where the gates are going.

Exelente método de pegar bloques no todos tienen o tenemos esa técnica

What mpa concrete did you use

So what kind of mortar did you use to stick the rocks to the wall?

Always wondered if this stone was full or cut in half

You need to offset the second panel if youre gonna set them up like that

Would slip form have been faster on this job?

No sería mejor empezar de abajo hacia arriba?

That’s basically all you need to know 👍

I have never seen the pilot hole trick. I love to learn new tricks. Thanks! Liked & Subscribed.

Beautiful place. You're a craftsman.

Things they need to update. Front door visibility. Push lift arms out away from cab door. Joysticks mounted to air seat . Radiator and coolers mounted up high for easier service.

amazing!

location back up alarm enable disable Case TV620 skid steer? any one can help me

What was the thickness of the steal?

Awesome work! What brand are those gates?

Where can I get the set of polishing pads u have

👍👍👍👍

Definitely not heavy weight 12s, these probably weigh less than the 8" block I lay. In S. FL. code will not allow the use of light weight blocks of any size. On a wall like this with lightweight 12s, I could lay 600 to 800 block a day (since as all masons know) 12s are easier to lay than 8s, they're just heavier. And with a setup like this where you are working in the shade all day, I could do it without breaking a sweat.

Mortar that sticks, ahh, gone are those days..

Nice work as always! Good to see you posting some… 👍

Put all the panels on one T setup .. will have no shadows.. respond shall explain

I"ve had a couple of good cement truck drivers, few and far between. Thumbs up! everyone , great video!

Ye sab rock kaha se laye hai kharide hai ya river se laye hai please hame bataye

I'm not trying to be cynical. But wouldn't it be better to have your tracks running parallel with the trench so you can just back up a bit when you need to dig the next section? I'm a complete newbie to these machines so I'm keen to understand the reasons why people do what they do

silicone in the problem gap? i did see if you fixed the original problem?

I noticed there are two different versions. One with the kit and one without the kit. The saw that comes with the kit (shown in your video) has a smaller/shorter black battery cover. The one sold individually has a taller black battery cover. Seems like they were able to cut some costs with the kit version to offer the whole kit for an attractive price. Not sure which one i should get...

You are my #1 resource I turned to for learning to build my block wall, I did the wet set method, and the string lines between the H block with the nails and everything, I’m finally almost finished with my wall now and even after laying approx 350 feet of block I’m still amazed how much faster you are at it than I can be lol. Fun just looking back over these videos and seeing what else I can pick up on now that I have more experience doing it. Thank you again for these videos!

In EBAY I'm selling a "Battery Temperature Sensor for SMA Sunny Island SI 6048 NEW, never used" There are PDF link there to install this sensor correctly.

Some really great tips of the trade. About to pour a 12x16 patio pad soon. Schooling up for a DIY project. Thanks for sharing!

Nice trick on the tying the string.

I want this done to the bottom of my cabin but they have ply wood on bottom half and no clue what I need to do to prep for stone :(

Where are you based out of?

This may be a dumb ? But Are the post exactly 20’ apart from measuring inside post to post or are they slightly over 20’ to compensate for the hinges and space in center of gate?
