Everything you need to about laying block pillars

In this video I teach you everything you need to know about laying block pillars. First thing I tape about is how to make sure your pillars are all in a straight line. Next I show you how I match all the heights. Then I teach you exactly how to lay each block all the way up to the top, spreading the mortar, setting the block, and leveling each one. I explain what to do if you can’t get the block perfect and how to use a shim to get it to the right place. Lastly I teach you how to point the pillar and put the rebar in. Thanks for watching!

    how clean to bonding surfaces have to be, Thinking blocks that were sitting in the dirt then you decide to build with them , and making an arch on a retaining wall how much of a curve can you make with 16" cinder blocks .

    Is there a limit to how high (how many blocks) you can stack while the morder is wet?

    If I wanted to install block pillars on top of a 4 in concrete slab, do I need to cut concrete in order to pour proper footing? Great content!

    PS. Maybe it's past the time when you're answering questions but I'll put one out there anyway. Aren't the cuts in the concrete to allow for possible future movement? If so, why have the pillars straddling the cut... if there's differential movement under the pillar won't the pillar come unstuck from at least one half the the underside of the pillar? If you get my drift.

    That’s what was there. I had extra block under the porch in that area, everything was tamped properly. I pinned each side and filled with concrete. I took every precaution I could to make sure it won’t move. We will see
