New Modular Corner Build

[njforno]

thanks very much. I am planning to dry stack the cinder blocks- still no need for rebar?

First, I was wondering how close to the rear edge of the slab I should come with the block? I plan on doing stucco on the rear of the island and oven.

Allow approx 3/8" for the stucco so 1/2" from edge of slab should be fine.

Next, in the front where the block angles in- What is the best way to fill those gaps?

Cut the blocks to the correct angle so there is not a large gap to fill otherwise form it up and fill with concrete.

I plan to rebar every other hole, how far do i drill down into the slab to insert the rebar, and do I use epoxy to secure it?

Between 2/3 and 3/4 of the slab thickness is plenty. You don't really need to set reo into the slab as there is no lateral force on the structure, infact there is no reason to use reo at all in the block work. Yes, epoxy is the normal setting method but you could just use cement and water mix.

Hi all, finally getting around to this. I poured the slab for the corner build in 2020. I am going to install a volta 100. I have a few questions and looking for some advice. First, I was wondering how close to the rear edge of the slab I should come with the block? I plan on doing stucco on the rear of the island and oven. In the front, i know where I need to line up for the faux stone facade we plan to use. Next, in the front where the block angles in- What is the best way to fill those gaps? I plan to rebar every other hole, how far do i drill down into the slab to insert the rebar, and do I use epoxy to secure it? Thanks ahead, and I am sure i will have more questions as we go along.
