Hi it's nice to see that our south African people can work very hard. Imagine you look so young and you are such a hard worker. Omg. I cannot carry 1 block I get back pain. South African government must motivate these youngsters to open their own business. There will be no more shacks and people can live in nice houses. I bought 100 blocks at R8 each. God bless to this young man and may the lord open doors of opportunities for him. Wishing you everything of the best brother. Even I can support your business by buying your blocks to neaten around my house. God bless you.
Unfortunately, they still only have a choice of two roofing types, Tin or Asbestos. So very noisy in a downpour. Tiles are way too expensive. Asbestos roofing has been banned in the UK and Sweden and many other countries. You have to call in experts to demolish such a roof. The dust/fiber stays in your lungs.
Madness.you think South Africans are all lazy...even I other countries there are lazy people .no house or family without unwell individual in.le kua ga lekganyane ba gona
I really want to make my own blocks. I found your video very helpful!! Although i will have to try and find a more automatic way. I've had back surgery to walk again. My backs probably to weak to preform they way you do!!! You are an amazing person, sending good will to you and those close to you! Thanks for the great video!
Just so you know next time, your blocks had dried out too much to bother with the water, next time cover then with a sheet of plastic with stones on the corners to keep the damp air inside, you also need to spray on them before sleeping or late. As some cements have a very short burning time, this is so that workers can empty forms/molds for walls the following day and use them again. Yet privately, when using a thicker amount of cement for screening a floor for example, you need to flood the floor with a lot of water. Before you cement a wall, wet the blocks, to stop them sucking out the water from the cement. Then wet again by spraying with a mist and hose after and during the laying of the blocks ok.
It is encouraging to see such a young man doing all this. He should note that the top of the brick is arched and not flat due to the fact that the unit with which he slides the brick out of the mold, is too thin and arches and rocks in the larger housing. I suppose it could be corrected by the layer of mortar in between the bricks, but a sharp eye can see it immediately and it does look " untidy". It can be corrected very easily. Making molds needs attention, as such a mold should last a long time and repeats the product with a high degree of accuracy. Still Congratulations, well done, and all the best in your life.
Very educational. I think this is something well be doing in the UK before long as the price of building materials are getting to high. We pay £4 or more per concrete hollow block now.
Thank you for the information. Ive always dreamed of making my own home with affordable diy materials. This seems to be the way to build a strong cheap home. Paint the inside, use a light water resistant material that is sloped for the roof, build a floor with a cement / plywood base, lay some carpet, and run a wire in that shit and ill live in a one room home with one door and zero windows. Id consider a few windows for an ac unit and ventilation but other than that im a minimalist.
Thanks for your work my question is can I put them on something like plastic bag long and open so that I can collect water at end and recycling to other blocks
Not sure, but i think when they say ratio 1:8 in wheelbarrows they meant per wheelbarrow of cement which is 2 x cement bags, not 1 cement bag to 8 wheelbarrows of sand but 1 cement wheelbarrow. Meaning per wheelbarrow its 4 or 4 1/2 or even 5 wheelbarrows cement. 2 x cement bags fit into 1 wheelbarrow.
Great work bro,keep it up men!! please next time show us how to make the bricks maker thing,i think that is the best part not to miss. much greetings from Tanzania
once upon a time we made ash blocks.....soooo strong that we thru 1 from double storey house and it hit the floor.....the floor broke....the block was still intact......can u make a video testing that very same example?
Nice video! I would like better descriptions of what is being done. What is ratio cement to sand? How many parts cement to how many parts sand? I could figure it myself from trial and error. I think you said "5 wheelbarrels" is a good starting point to one bag (what size?) of cement? I could dump 1 bag of cement into (what size wheel barrel?) to see how much of 1 wheel barrel one bag of cement is? Would be much better to have a number on cement to sand then you can use any size wheel barrel and any amount of sand and any amount of cement to make any size batch of blocks that you want. Good video and good starting point.. I can figure this out from trial and error. Also on day two pouring water into blocks is not clear why. I'm guessing this just helps to "finish" curing the concrete? and get water into other places to make it cure better inside the block? Or is this just a test for cracks? water leaks out fast if the block is bad? Thanks again!
Great work! Onwards and upwards 😊
Thank you so much🙏🙌🏿
Wow, siyambongela Yolanda 🙏🏽

Wow that's expensive. We a block. Is. About from. R5. ToR12

Watching from Namibia.
This is how it is done in West Africa. 3 and half wheels of sand to one bag of 50kg of portland cement.
Yeah! 8 wheelbarrows is ridiculous! Even 5 is too much except they're using some very special cement down there in SA
Well done
Nice 💪💪👍👍
Thanks alot for video very educative, what other chamical do they use to avoid watering the blocks after they are made,
Another content syaphambili 🙏🙏👌
@ROODKCAB PRODUCTIONS thank you so much bafo🙏🙌
good job
Thanks for your work my question is can I put them on something like plastic bag long and open so that I can collect water at end and recycling to other blocks
I want to try also

2 x cement bags fit into 1 wheelbarrow.
No man - why would they want you to offload cement to a wheelbarrow?
Just go n read a bag of cement it i it is written black and white
Where did you get you mold to make the blocks?
You said we should use a strong cement to get strong blocks..would you please recommend that type of a cement please
love from kenya! where can i get the block mold?
Which types of cement makes good blocks
Great work bro,keep it up men!! please next time show us how to make the bricks maker thing,i think that is the best part not to miss.
much greetings from Tanzania
Vipi ulijaribu😂
Are they pretty strong to build? MUCH LOVE
once upon a time we made ash blocks.....soooo strong that we thru 1 from double storey house and it hit the floor.....the floor broke....the block was still intact......can u make a video testing that very same example?
Nice
Thanks, how many blocks can you make in a day
Which cement is best for making blocks
Nice video! I would like better descriptions of what is being done.

and get water into other places to make it cure better inside the block?
Or is this just a test for cracks? water leaks out fast if the block is bad?
Thanks again!
How do you transport them to clients?
how many time you water the bricks and how long must it stay before using it
nice one where can i get this steel to make bricks
river sand vs building sand...can both be used or only river sand?
How long do you dry them for before you build?
Good job,but my question is can i get the video and the measurements your box please
Plis can yu show me how you made your brick mold.
Thank you for you knowlage ass you smarth keep going
what's the tool name that your using to put your cement in ??
How many bricks per cement bag ...please advice how many bricks for two rooms each 4m.
tell me name of this pls what time of block maker tool you used?
where can I buy this machine for making bricks
Which cement I have no clue about it what is the best cement
❤
Wow kanye lento bwndiykhangela...
Ubuyifumana phi lento wenza ngayo Bhuti?
