Good job Amigo!!! Saludos desde Las Terrenas RD.

[@albertlugassy3610]

Looks great thanks

[@umitozturk3352]

thanks for the simple and simple explanation ı lıke this video . 👏👏

[@gabrielgonzales8163]

buenos videos construccion

[@mineshkatwaroo2806]

Next time show how you place the steel OK you explain very well the blocks but I want to knw abt the ground work

[@hawremo490]

Well done

[@dawnc.3697]

Very informative, thank you so much,, I'm now on my way to do it too 😊😊

[@jeffoberleguitar]

thats what she said

[@tubesrn]

Is cement plastering required on side and top of such walls?

[@infinitycrops]

Where’s the “how to build the foundation” step?

[@thabisodube]

Thank you

[@LisaSmith-tb8bb]

When you pour that footing set the blocks in the wet concrete. It’s much stronger

[@UltimateGuard19]

I stronger believe he should have done that .Thanks for the reminder .

[@jugganaut33]

Glad someone knows something about homogenous loading. Especially seeing as that foundation wasn’t scratched or dented so the new concrete or mortar couldn’t bite into it. May aswell have just laid it on hardcore.

[@jimmyc9925]

not needed. just wet down and clean

[@ebynmatthews]

Guys can this work be done in a day for a wall length of 15 m? I mean first by drenching, then placing wet concrete and then placing bricks above it? Also if we place bricks above bricks won't the level keep changing when we place the second layer of bricks over the first layer as the foundation is still wet concrete? Please help guys.

Would like to see an update on this wall today. My guess is that it's leaning way in or has fallen down. Not how to build a retaining wall.

Hi Best of building

[@drifersottish]

What if the wall isn't exactly straight like lets say hypothetically my wall was curvy for example 3,145 km and was along the Mexican American border how would I go about doing this

[@BigBadJohn1892]

Forgot about the hydrostatic pressure from the back fill dirt and expansive pressure too. Video says nothing about preventing that.

[@canadapainter658]

James Jameson = I am in Canada,, How much would you charge for labor to built an underground house from concrete blocks?

[@jazzjazz1230]

Cool idea

[@erichondel6221]

Don't quite get the plumb bob, but if it makes things go faster l'll give it a try.

[@blockedinchina6015]

Hahaha.

[@battlefor1billiondollars]

I don't understand how he uses the plum weight with his hand?

[@erichondel6221]

Perhaps he has it wrapped around a nail that we can not see, or is dropping it to a mark on the footer. The plumb bob is not in my arsenal. Maybe it should.

[@331SVTCobra]

Interesting to see how things are done outside of 'Murika. Why is it felt that the two end pieces need four vertical rebar rods, and the rest of the wall doesn't need any? I'm not saying it's wrong, just wondering why. Nice looking wall.

[@ebynmatthews]

Bro can we lay bricks on wet concrete? I want to build a small height wall just to mark my boundary, no need of reinforcement in foundation. Just a 10 m wall with 50 cm height. Can the work be done in a day?

[@mufuliramark]

I'm not a brickie but worked alongside a few, watched them at work and know they must be cringing at this construction.

Can these blocks be purchased in the United States? I have never seen them sold anywhere here.

I thought the same yet thinking I will make them myself instead

Yeah, miss the foundation part. that is something very important.

[@mimiosworld777]

Why all videos start when the foundation is already there? I want a video where they start with digging...

[@nicogs97]

Thanks for making the video. Donald Trump is really going to need this video since Mexico is never going to pay for the wall. He's gonna have to go out there himself and built it DIY style.

2:15 so he is not putting any mortar on the sides before setting new block -_-

Go watch a foundation video then

[@_dreko]

Step 1) Here's a foundation and vertical support we prepared earlier.... ...Bruh... Are you serious? That's literally the only hard part. How did you do that? How did you know where to put the vertical supports? How did you set the vertical supports?

[@SikanaEnglish]

Hi. Sorry, during the year i made a bunch of videos, and sometimes it's hard to put them right on youtube. But the foundation video exist on the channel ;-)

[@pinkhead6857890]

If you gotta break blocks to get your wall lengths then your architect doesn't know how to divide feet and inches

[@insanemunchkin]

A) No architect in this century measures anything in feet and inches. B) If you’re building a wall yourself, it’s unlikely you’ve been anywhere near an architect. But yes - better to build to block size than be cutting / breaking bricks.

[@pinkhead6857890]

@@insanemunchkin A) Well then you obviously dont live in north carolina. Even the Hispanics who grew up using the metric system prefer using feet and inches here. Nice being able to add up dimension strings in your head without having to deal with repeating decimals. If you cant appreciate the awsome superiority of our based 12 imperial measurement system then I guess you never learned how to do arithmetic without counting with your fingers or cheating with a calculator. B) I almost forgotten what made me write up that shitpost last year. Think it was one of my megaknob CC profs telling me that It was fine for the class to design the cmu for our BS final design project with non modular dimensions or something. Idk, all Im sure of is that he was the type of guy who seriously thought that 2/3 made a cleaner and better fraction than 8/12.

[@jamesjameson7925]

Cmon.....you can't be serious. There are so many mistakes and missed steps this should be a video on how not to build a block wall. At least we can comment on and warn people that are considering constructing a block wall to AVOID this video at all costs.

[@mattgardnerTheMadInventor]

help us out then and provide the missing steps. To a noob the video seems comprehensive enough. As with any trade there are millions of little things pros do that DIYers dont.

[@jamesjameson7925]

​@@mattgardnerTheMadInventor "To a noob the video seems comprehensive enough" ...lmao, yup, you hit the nail on the head......as a noob you don't know squat and using this video to build your wall is a dangerous. There are plenty of proper DIY vids out there and if you are incapable of locating them I doubt any "details" on construction are going matter or, at the very least, sink in.

[@mattgardnerTheMadInventor]

@@jamesjameson7925 typical youtube commentor. A perfect example of the dunning-Kruger effect. Whatever man... I built a masony brick wall just fine from watching youtube videos suchnas this one, and it's perfectly safe. Thanks for help

@@jamesjameson7925 There's nothing to be proven on my end. You are the self proclaimed internet expert, whining about the inadequicies of others abilities to build masonry brick walls without the of pointing out what the aforementioned builders short comings are. Even if I were to present a wall built by myself to you, I have no doubt you would conclude the same regardless of whether build quality.
