Re: Begining stand construction
Taking a break from moving equipment and found this in my e-mail.
Looks good so far, as fast as you put those blocks up I thought this post would include pics of pizza
. I really don't know what the plans call for in the stacked block scenario but being a mason I want to tell you to at the very least if you are not going to do more cells allow the slab to fill in the cells of the top course all the way around.
I remember you saying something about "in case I have to move it" or something to that effect if that is still a concern I would fill all of the blocks and just have the slab sit on that. Either way I personally would fill all the cells, earthquakes or not since the blocks are not layed. Come on, your gonna have to get those hands nice and callused up for the brick work anyway, mix em up.
Will it be OK if you just do the first course? lets put it this way when you make the decision to not fill them go buy a lottery ticket the same day the chances of you winning are about the same as for the oven NOT being OK with no grout in the cells, but the key word is CHANCE.
Oh, by the way if you win kick me a little I can use it right now.
Although we just gave a bid for 8000sq' of stucco stone (fake stone) the guys already got the stone so its just labor and spec mix and the stone are squares so its what we call a "lick and Stick" gig. Boy I could use it, those of you that pray, if you don't mind say a little one for me hu Id appreciate it.
