Graduated first row of masonry fence

In order not to accumulate blocks after manufacture, began to lay them. This week completed the first row. Remained room for dobornyh blocks. Cast them into the desired size (placing a plywood partition in form) did not. I decided to saw of predefined blocks.

To do this, measure the required dimensions in all eight spans, and recorded data on these figures marked out:

This is the first trial of the wall unit. As used inside core segment sewer pipe. The diameter is too large, and when removing the unit split. These halves, as seen now in handy.

Essential elements immediately signed by numbers spans. Otherwise, you can get lost and have to re-measure everything and to compare with the numbers of spans.

For sawing blocks spring acquired Dexter grinder with 230 mm diameter disc. Acquired b / y. Of the benefits: smooth start. And just bought a disc diameter of the stone:

block layout makes it so that would have remained a place in the seam. And in order to cut held by the cavity inside the block (less cut depth). Then fill the cavity in the masonry mortar.

Bulgarian such capacity and with a diameter of the disc is cutting concrete easily and quickly. Even with stones of the solid rock as a filler.

About 30 minutes sawed all final assembly blocks.

Two blocks have turned visibly larger than the others. This happened due to the fact that we had to move the two pillars when concreting - one of them got on the underground cable. Accordingly, the two spans become wider than the other 10 cm

Suffered blocks each in its place.

Well, and then the familiar work - masonry:

Seams still be overwritten by the solution and washing the foam sponge them with water. Seam after such a procedure is almost not visible. As previously written - in the sand comes gravel, grain size up to 3 mm. She bared, merges with the texture unit.

Block before grouting.

When there is excess solution after work flip cast blocks and in those voids that are turned through - add a small layer of the solution, I fill the holes and bumps. So that would be later in the laying of the solution fell into them. And close up the place - with traces of folds polyethylene.

Next, put the valve and to start laying the second layer. There will be only two, plus a cover to them. Above - prozhiliny of iron rectangular pipe and fence boards 25h100 mm. The pillars are all of stacked concrete blocks.
