- This was my first time installing cement block. I was intimidated in the beginning about this whole process as i have never done this before. When i started to lay my first few blocks, I did not feel very comfortable with the tools or the process! But I pressed on and block 8 or 10 i felt much better about it.
The key to installing cement block for your block foundation is to get the consistency of the mortar right. If you have that mixed properly, it becomes much more workable.
I hope that you enjoy this video on how to build a block wall foundation. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Great job and really appreciate seeing someones first attempt. I'm researching every video I can find before attempting my own block work. This has raised my confidence levels. Thank you.
To make it easier on you when grouting you can make the blocks into knockouts to make it easier to dump buckets in rather than the single cells. It would also be less mess.
Excellent work! I tackled my first masonry project last year and it seems wayyyyy more intimidating than it actually is. It’s a far more crude process than some other trades. Grip strength is a must! I remember my hands being sore for a while after my first project
I agree! Thankfully this was a small wall, but I was feeling it
I felt the same way on my first masonry job. Now I’m doing entire buildings! Great work man 👍🏽👍🏽
You could literally see the skills improving as time went on. AMAZING!
Right! Also my Confidence did as well. I started to feel more in control of it and it was kinda fun!
Make sure you use a waterproofing on the exterior of the block that coats down over your slab edge. Masonry units absorb moisture.
Nice work. Only suggestion to make things easier is using a string line for each course. It makes things a bit faster.
God bless you ! Been looking to find out how to cut these blocks for a few weeks and could not find the answer, now YT shows me this. Legend for showing this in your vid, not something you learn about every day !
Came out great. I would never use that low quality mortar but you made it work. I don’t think it’s the first time using mortar and trowel. Maybe first with blocks.
He definitely handled a trowel before, better mud would definitely make it easier
Great job! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Good work, much better than most on their first time. A couple tips:
Avoid building corner leads or leads in general when possible. Just “spot” a block on each end to your chalk line, level/plumb and make sure they range by hooking up a line. Use a level across the top for first course while laying them to the line then just spot the ends and lay to the line for the remaining courses.
Building leads with a level, unless you’re a vet, is a good way to create unnecessary issues in the wall.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m going to be building another one in few months
Fantastic work as always! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you for the comment:)
Thank you, watching you gave me courage to try on my own.
Looks great 😊
for the first time, I think you done an excellent job.
Multi talented... that looked great. Keep the videos going. Love the content
Love construction! And learning new things
Congratulations !
Good job 👍
Nice job!
You did better than the professionals 😊
Hi, how are you... Thank you for your video... It helps us a lot to carry out this type of work... Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 🇨🇱
Very good
Good luck 👍
Great job!! No fear!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations 🎉
Well I enjoyed the video. Work definitely looks professional.
Video states you did the research so we don't have to. Could you provide instructions or a link to instructions?
Can you provide a written tutorial or supply list and tips and tricks and the reasoning or why.
Lot of time instructions are provided but then experiential tips and tricks are required to circumvent issues that arise due to variation.
I just want to raise my cinder block wall 3 blocks higher. Trying to assess all the materials and equipment steps cost and time needed.
For a first attempt and all the TLC you put in.. I gave you 90%😊
Gracias amigo! Caregiving my mom, i will cinder block short walls at my front porch, then stucco it to match my home. We appreciate it. Tiene bonito dia.
I take a lot of advice from you! Thanks!!
Take it with a grain of salt! I’m still learning myself
❤ good job
Not bad brother!!!🤙🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼
Good job. Just one thing. When you lay down the mortar for the first course, dont put it on the trowel like laying a regular course. Sort of heap it on the board and cut a "sausage" off, and place the sausage down. Thats it. Dont play with it anymore or move it around.
The man is a superhuman first time
I’m no master but from experience use the bottom of the trowel for the times you can’t spread the mud easily , it makes it way easier.
Great video what was that little buzzing tool Yiu had looked like a palm sander ?
Interesting I've learnt something i didn't know
just gonna rebuild my old metal front gate with 10 ft masonry wall . Have most of the tools need the tripod laser level . Luckily for me the foundation is already done. Gonna use rebar and epoxy to attach the blocks to th existing old concrete. gracias
Winni when do you Clean the outside of the block of any excess mortar residue
How did you jointing between the block work with precast element??
Bad ass Brother!
Thank you so much
How cold was it when you were laying it?
What is the name of the handheld saw you used to cut the cement??
Bravo.
I would love to see how those concrete Blocks were made
Thanks
How should I river rock over my acrylic tub??? Lol idk what to use
Why no string line in place?
Bravo super
Is there rebar that ties the existing concrete perimeter footing ( in the background) to the new wall?
Yes I had a two pieces :)
I hired a carpenter to build my bathroom and one bedroom but he didn't fill all the Brockholes.just wanted to know if this is how it's done or do we have to fix it again.pliz help
1.Learn to lay with your eye your level is good but in a time crunch it helps to be able to gauge and level with your eye practice that

I can tell it’s your first time.😂😂😂 You did a great job though. Thanks for teaching us.
👍👍
👊
May I hire you to build one for me?
You Don't Put Enough Mud Between The Blocks
😎🛠️😎🛠️😎
Does not need to be filled out with more gravel concrete!! In my opinion!!
👍🌹
Your man didn't use sand to mix the cement
You need to learn how to put on a head joint, do it the right way and your joints will not look sloppy.
So.......wtf were the mistakes we are supposed to learn from?
I’m with this guy. I missed the learning point.
Possibly some details like using an excess of cement between the blocks, as well as failing to put down sand on either side of the wall so falling concrete doesn't stick? 🤷🏼♀️ Those are things I've seen done very differently by professionals that regularly use this construction method. But those are relatively minor details, comparatively speaking.

Don’t believe everything you see on the internet this man ain’t lay that finished prouduct he’s cleaning off the concrete to stick the concrete blocks with concrete 🤦🏼🤷♂️
Get some brown jerseys and save your fingers.
are you sure this is your first time?
You learn from TH-cam so we don't have to
Edit: damnit, nevermind
Learn from what mistakes???
Anyone else notice that he is only using cement and water?
Its a ready mix
1 minute in the bag clearly says mortar mix. The appearance also clearly shows it’s not just cement.
Give me work ? 🖐how mnch is yur salary?
Too жидкий раствор, братан
Ему прокатит
This surely isn’t the first time you are laying the blocks on mortar. One can easily see that.
Click bait title and dishonest.
What's the use of that rebar?
