Get back to us after you spend a few weeks tossing, lifting, buttering and placing 12" concrete line block Been there, done that Also collected the block from numerous job sites, loaded it, unloaded it and carried it to the job. I mixed my own mortar, set up the scaffolding and loaded the block on the scaffold. Want to talk about hand pouring a tie beam on top of the wall? (mixing the concrete in a 3 bag mixer) Setting the trusses and doing the roofing? Hand digging footers? This last few weeks I have been dragging limbs the size of your leg along with tree trunks that go up to about 1000 pounds. All of this in SW Florida where it is too hot for you to sit by the pool ... next. |

His life has been spent punching keys on a typewriter. |

Also worked with a SeaBee Battalion for almost a year doing construction and electrical wiring, all in metallic conduit BTW. I agree though that those experiences provide great motivation to go to school. |

He is talking about a 12x16x8. I used them on the spa in Maryland. They are pretty rare in Florida except in the heaviest of commercial. |

The last time I worked with block, "decorative block" at that, was about 10 years ago, on the 12' x 20' building out on the Shenandoah. It was a backbreaker. |
