  I loved watching you. Do you have to put rebar in the blocks for a 4 course retaining wall?

• 
  @masonry2018Күн бұрын

  Thanks for the comment! As for the question, I would need a lot more info. Drainage is more important in a retaining than reinforcement. The wall can be made super strong, but will always lose to hydrostatic pressure (water build up behind the wall). Which is why you may see retaining walls leaning outwards. The wall may have been built correctly, but without allowing for water to get around or through it, it will fail.

  @masonry2018 The retaining wall is being built on a dug out slope with a French drain behind it so the water drains off down on the outer edge.

  i'm from England and have been using W Rose trowels from the States for years (wide London pattern) They are solid like the WHS trowels used to be, love them and the low lift.

• 
  @masonry201820 күн бұрын

  W.Rose got their start about ten minutes from where I live. Guys used to return trowels there for whatever reason (broken, worn down, etc) and Rose would just give them another. I’ll be in your neck of the woods this coming August for the Super Trowel competition. I’ll be looking to pick up a WHS to bring back to the states! Thanks for the comment.

  How many hours should it take a trained mason/brick layer to build a 6 foot pier of an equal size ?

• 
  @masonry201820 күн бұрын

  Thanks for the question! If everything is stocked and ready, mortar is made, and the footing already completed, it should only take about 2 to 3 hours.

• 
  @PaddleDogC520 күн бұрын

  7 bricks x 27 = 189 Depends on type of brick somewhat. Depends if you're putting poles up. Poles take time also but faster for most. Bidding a job building freehand 350 brick per day. Exceptional bricklayer 3 piers 7 hr.

  Was really hoping he was going to educate us how you build a pier/column NOT on a concrete slab and on the earth. Obviously pillars cant just go straight on the earth and need a foundation of some sort and this guy skipped right over the very first step. Not a good video to skip over the VERY first step.

  How I learned through the bac union was a six course lead and never lay the lead more then three blocks long no longer then your four foot level. Guess thing have changed over the last 40 years. lol

• 
  @masonry201825 күн бұрын

  Thanks for the comment! You make a great point. Typically one would be building a lead on an established layout course, in which case, only 6 courses high. That's when scaffold would get bumped up, electrical extensions put on, typical grout height, etc. For training purposes, a 7 course high lead, from the ground, makes sense. As the first course acts like a layout course. Great observation!
