SETTING BLOCK
AFTER PLACING THE CONCRETE INTO THE FOOTINGS, WE SET THE
FIRST COURSE OF THE CONCRETE BLOCK STEM DIRECTLY INTO THE
WET CONCRETE. IT SAVES A TON OF TIME, AND THE BLOCK BONDS
BETTER TO THE FOOTING. NEXT WE STICK THE VERTICAL
" L" SHAPED REBAR INTO THE WET CONCRETE THROUGH THE OPEN
CELLS OF THE CONCRETE BLOCK.
TIP OF THE DAY: WE USE 4 INCH HIGH BLOCK (LOWBOYS ) FOR THE
FIRST COURSE. THE LIGHTER WEIGHT ALLOWS US TO WORK FASTER,
AND THEY ARE LESS PRONE TO SINKING INTO THE WET CONCRETE.
