11:00 at night I'm sitting on the toilet watching your video. Amazon backup alarm goes off and my dogs thinks he's here and start going crazy and woke my wife up. She didn't find it as funny as I did. 😂😂😂😂

Awesome video, I’m a plumber in Indiana and some times I see block layers but I have never seen them use vertical rebar only wire mesh is this method a regional code .

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🙏 You rock man!
How accurate are those audible beeping levels that you use? I used to use visual transit and levels that were incredibly accurate and I've always wondered about the audible ones with the targets.

Block not tied into footer with rebar?

Hey young fellas. Just wondering if you mix your own mortar and what ratio you are using (3 parts sand 1 part Portland cement?). If you mix your own, what kind of sand are you using? Thanks for the tips in the video. I want to build a greenhouse foundation with 10" block (7 high about 100').

Solid workmanship. Appreciate the info, but id like to point out the title says how to lay block corners, but most of the video goes over straight leads.
Im looking to learn techniques so the info is helpful nonetheless, thank you.

What’s the advantage of doing this with block vs stemwalls with concrete?

[jasoncanmore]

Thanks for the corner detail. On average, how many blocks do you lay per day?

[MrMockingbird]

Excellent production. But, explain what you are saying. What is a "bond mark"? What is "staying on bond"? Etcetera.

[keenanonie]

When you insert the rebar in the old foundation and lay a block over it in the new foundation, do you need to fill in the block all around the rebar with mortar or concrete to grip the rebar? Or what is it that keeps the new foundation from separating laterally from the old one?

[thelouiebrand]

You’re a G man. What’s the wire you out between the bricks?

[perpetuant]

Where we are we always use steel in our foundation straight through the brick. How come you all don't do ghe same?

[MillCityQ]

How deep should the rebar go into the foundation?

[danielmal]

what's the point of drilling into the footing if you didn't even install the vertical rebars
