I love to watch him lay block. He makes it look so easy. Only someone who has actually laid blocks realizes just how great his skills are.

gotta Love his good sense of humor against the great disadvantages .

11:28 “....that’s not their job to clean the mortar off the top...” Man I wish more people in the business had that attitude too many guys just leave bullshit for the next guy. all trades are guilty of that. I salute you for that. Also, great video. Learned a lot and was entertained to boot. Cheers 🙌

Love your excellent spirit and attention to detail! You sir are a true professional! Many thanks to you and your camera woman for taking the time and care to share with the world! God bless you both!🎉❤️

Dude is hilarious -- would love to work with this cat. The secret to a good life is humor -- and I learned a lot from your vid -- particularly on filling odd gaps and throwing mortar. Keep it up!

I have searching every How To on laying block .. As a carpenter of 38 years .. I can do everything pertaining to block besides lay it !! LOL .. Now me and my big mouth has obligated myself to lay 120 block for a neighbors garage .. So I have to learn the grace quick

You’re a funny guy… You seem to have found a way to comically deal with bad situation yet, still hold your principles for quality work. I can admire that. Thanks for the video

You really know how to lay block and I like the 6" block which is plenty big enough for a lot of work. Thanks for taking the time to show us how to do these procedures and how to patch the low spots, etc.. Looks like you close the joints well so you don't have to go back and bag them.

One of the best KZfaq videos I’ve over seen!

In Toronto we say, " Fa na, bonna, jobba !", hey I'm a woodworker , but I love seeing tips and tricks, great video..

Молодец мужик. Хорошо работаешь. Спина уже болит от такой работы.

Dude I love your videos so much they’re just so fun and wholesome God bless you and your family, and I love how you say “joints” 3:16

Love your work sir it was great to watch God bless

First time I see torpedo used on block walls..u don't have a bigger one😆...nice work..buddy

The best part? “Leaving.”

Goooood joooob... Frooooom Algeria.

Fair play I seen this video come up on my suggestions and I initially clicked just to write that this should be called how not to lay block looking at the big joint however i watched it first start to end and I have to say I like your technique.. click bait in a good way keep up the good work 👍🏼 also I like to make sure my footings are shuttered rather than dumped and buttered iwith a shovel good job rescuing it tho

What you have here is sometimes referred to as a "ring around". Homes built on a slab. Gravel will be shot into the "hole" to level out the ground then concrete with wire poured to the top of the block that are used like a form. For the naysayers, on the comments, depending on where you are at the "code" is different and your allowed to make adjustments. It's called "humoring" as in funny. The fact that he adjusted to the footer being off without any trouble comes from experience. There is a saying in the trade that he's a "mechanic". Mechanics don't panic. Their the ones who get the call for stuff like that. Been a mason over 40 years and his work was fine. Just an observation, looked to be a "side job". He said he'd done one down the road so he's picking up work at this development.

As a carpenter never worried about the mortar took a brick and rub it along the tops before putting seal plates.

I like to lay my mortar like you did on the first blocks Nice job by the way

Hahaha a pleasure to watch. Good work.

Are those footing below frost I live in pa and they would be 32in deep and I'd be laying 4 courses down in the ditch, it sucks but at least there's more than 50 block to lay

Love this guy!!

A real help for the rookie mason is by using mortar spacers or a Masons Fork.

Hermie Wants to be a Dentist!..Rudolph the red nose reindeer!

This mans done this a time or two

Anything goes in Michigan I guess,.Who did that footing a bunch of 5th graders??Block laid on practically dirt but make sure the hurricane straps are in!! That's brutal!!

I need to learn anew technique. My left elbow is bad off and the guys I'm with. lay fast. What would be a good way to lay with speed. I can't. 1 arm it anymore. Over rebar etc Thanks

Супер мужик!)

Doesn't rebar need to go down into the footing to secure it?

I like your videos😀😀😀😀

Dude makes me wanna take up that trade.

Hello! I just ran across your video looking for ways to correct an out square block foundation for a garage that is due to be built. My block foundation is out square by 2 inches. Any recommendations? Also I think we are in the same area. I am in Dearborn.

too cool dude! perfect job

One thing about starting to lay the first blocks, you gotta have a strong back. Which would later catch up to you in later life.

I hate layout course. Funny stuff buddy. A+

😂😂😂😂😂 this guy.... Tell them to pick up the boogers!!!

Turned up on a job here in South Wales the home owner said to save money he'd do the footings no problems . When I got there and looked in the trench I couldn't believe my eyes some prick told him wet concrete finds its own level . So I turned up for my next job a week early . Someone built it though but not me

Hey 11:29 what are those flat metal rods that your putting in every other cell and why? The Noobmason . thx

Hey my dude, just subbed to ya a few days back because im about to build my first retaining wall. First time doing block work as well. To be honest, my commonsense, along with all the errors of it, is all i had to go on before checking out your videos. After four videos, i know im not ready. But starting the job tomorrow. Im more of an interior tradesman. Tile, framing, plumbing, etc... The client is fully aware of my level of knowledge and the invoice reflects these limitations. This wall is to act as a seawall to some extent and will be 25 foot long. ANY practical advise would greatly be appreciated. By practical, in this situation, i mean to say, "can be done by one man in 6 days" with 1000$ in materials. I am about to upload a video of it on you tube. Im not a content creator of any sort. My videos are for my own documentation and reflection, and for the benifit of clients.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. That was brutal. None of that would have passed in Los Angeles. Learned a lot of correction techniques. I too, was wondering about the buckets, but I see your point about having to move down the line since you are only laying one course. Do the buckets get tossed at the end of the job? Just single use?

Do you always use a level on top of each block you lay? And if you do, do you do it on taller block walls.

What part of US is this? Footer I’m working with is 36”+ below ground Indianapolis
