Last week was very exciting! Big loads of concrete blocks were delivered. A big dump truck full of sand arrived also. I got to actually dump the sand myself! It was fun! I was told that the sand is mixed into the mortar to make it smooth. This mortar then acts like glue and the blocks can be up together like a puzzle. This will go to make the main back wall. The concrete blocks will go up about 12-15 ft and serve to protect the foundation when the ground dirt is filled back in. The blocks are stacked, lined with re-rod and filled with concrete from above. (I saw a big concrete truck as I came into work this morning!) Once this is done, the "stick building" can commence!
