Laying my first block. Why not just provide?

The further I advance in the construction of your home, the more I realize that know in advance and be prepared for anything impossible.

Theoretically, aerocrete me masonry seemed very easy. Especially when the network a bunch of examples of how to do it quickly and easily, you start to think that you still happen.

But I am increasingly beginning to make sure, that thing that you do for the first time, never done quickly and easily. In any class there are nuances that no one will tell you not to emerge only in the process of time.

It has become a very shining example to me the process of masonry blocks.

I've already talked about how I was wrong with the installation of the corner blocks from the misuse of laser level, and then how to mark up all over again with the help of the water level.

Read about this in the article:

Stacking corner blocks. How can I make a mistake on a 20 mm.?

The water level. How to use it alone?

It's time to install corner blocks on the new markup.

Where to start laying?

The first question that arises - it is from what angle you start? Since the markup level I did, I could see where the highest point of the foundation. With it, and should start.

The thickness of the masonry joint.

Then the question arises: How to put a solution?

The minimum joint thickness should be 2 cm. But keep in mind that when you put on the solution of a block, he just spreads. Then you begin to align it on the level of the solution creeps even more. In the end, after all the manipulations seam thickness decreases markedly.

Therefore, you need to apply to this calculation.

Density of solution.

This criterion is directly affected by the previous paragraph.

• Too grout will flow, how much is not done.
• A too thick, on the contrary it will be very difficult to seat.

I think for each approach has its own degree of density of the solution. To the right consistency, which is convenient for me, I came to work empirically.

Perfectly still will not work.

Even after correcting errors after the first attempt to install corner blocks, after the new layout, which, it seemed to me, I double-checked a hundred times, I still managed to make a mistake.

The two blocks were not quite evenly exposed. But this can be corrected, undermine unit to the desired level.

This is only the basic nuances that I have encountered. And they all share the main

Inexperienced and uncertain hands.

Can long list all the difficulties that I encountered, but all of them are connected with inexperience. I wonder what it makes no sense to list all that can happen when doing business for the first time.

Anyway, for sure, it is you encounter the difficulties that others had not. And it is inevitable.
