currently, five courses of block are up and i've set about half of the bond beam corners. it was a little rainy today so i couldn't get as much done as I'd like. hope tomorrow's weather is better.
i found the tripod i was using for the laser is too unsteady. with the laser set upon one of the central piers, a clean, steady line is visible on my framing square from just the right angle. the bond beam corners i've set so far are with 1/8" of each other. excellent.
this morning i cut out the corners for the bond beam course. i used single corner block and scored them with a diamond blade in a 4.5" angle grinder. then i whacked them with a mason's chisel and a rubber mallet. a few blocks broke during the process. lots of dust during the cutting.
i also had to cut down the vertical rebar to the proper height at points. i only cut those necessary today, i'll cut the rest with a proper face mask tomorrow.
slowly but surely..
