11:00 at night I'm sitting on the toilet watching your video. Amazon backup alarm goes off and my dogs thinks he's here and start going crazy and woke my wife up. She didn't find it as funny as I did. 😂😂😂😂

Awesome video, I’m a plumber in Indiana and some times I see block layers but I have never seen them use vertical rebar only wire mesh is this method a regional code .

[@katiebarnes6926]

Nice video, I would like to see how in detail how you do the crawl space entrance.

[@masonthemason6412]

Thank you. I talk about it a little bit in the next video. I didn't get a video of the lentils getting set. I'll try my best to explain it

[@fabiancanada8876]

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').

[@YueshuYa123]

Solid workmanship. Appreciate the info, but id like to point out the title says how to lay block corners, but most of the video goes over straight leads. Im looking to learn techniques so the info is helpful nonetheless, thank you.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🙏 You rock man! 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.

Excellent production. But, explain what you are saying. What is a "bond mark"? What is "staying on bond"? Etcetera.

[@randyscrafts8575]

Block not tied into footer with rebar?

[@maxslomoff]

What’s the advantage of doing this with block vs stemwalls with concrete?

[@keenanonie]

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?

[@masonthemason6412]

Yeah we fill it with concrete when we core pour

[@jasoncanmore5838]

Thanks for the corner detail. On average, how many blocks do you lay per day?

[@masonthemason6412]

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

[@masonthemason6412]

If I was laying the walls I could lay 3-400 easy in a day

[@jasoncanmore5838]

@@masonthemason6412 Wow. We're building soon and have about 900 to lay for our crawl space....debating to do it myself (no experience) or hire it out. Probably decide after I get a couple of prices.

[@masonthemason6412]

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
