Cinderblocks being laid in a CornerThis shot shows the blocks being laid in place at a corner. The holes with the 12mm rebar will be filled with concrete to create vertical columns of support each 40 centimeters around the entire design. Also, you can see the use of the guide lines to keep the block work vertically and horizontally straight.

Decorative Glass BlocksThe design calls for decorative blocks at several places. Within the bathrooms the blocks are laid in place 2 thick. Each block is 8 cm wide and the rendered wall will be 16 cm - 18 cm wide (the oversize cinder blocks at 16 cm wide). Notice the use of 1 cm wood spacers, which keep the blocks and equal distance apart. Both wood and prefabricated plastic spacers were used.dozer
