Mate! I'm gonna go blind watching this. The camera lens is constantly hunting for its focus point. If you could anchor it down or just fix the focus or flick to manual focus after you found focus you're happy with. That would be amazing. Great info. Cheers buddy :)

thanks, there's this guy who wants a retaining block wall built for his garden. It has 3 elevations with 2 corners and it's 4 courses high with one course into the ground. the guy is refusing to put a foundation in he wants me to build on Clay, any advise please what can I say to him, am an apprentice. also he wants the wall to be built to his existing house. I am going to use ties but would I need to use expansion and Mastic it or a construction joint? thanks.

Stavros E you definitely need a foundation. I wish I could offer you some notes I have in rough form about foundations and retaining walls. but I'm sure you could find something online.

[@stavrose5470]

rob songer can you please just let me know if I have to use expansion or use a mortar joint, and yes I know I will have show him some proof

[@robsonger1]

Stavros E I would suggest an expansion/movement joint

[@stavrose5470]

rob songer great thank you

You have two choices, tell him you will build it without a foundation but he will need to sign a disclaimer stating that you will take no responsibility if the wall moves or cracks which it will being built on clay, or just walk away from it & politely tell him to get another bricklayer.

@ 4:10 you say you need 966 bricks (966.6), what about the .6, you need 967 bricks. You round up to the nearest full number because you can't buy half bricks.
