I must admit the angle is wrong, ya shoulda seen it before I cropped it..:o
The "wall length" table.... can't work out what it means. This is because I know nothing about bricklaying.... but its people like me that the site's designed for right?
Right you are Clint, Ill look into it.
Overall, an interesting website. Pretty damn well laid out and pleasing to the eye. Good stuff!
Possible additions:
Blocks and the 'no mortar' blocks called "'Connex - Mortarless masonry blocks" from Boral.
More of a landscaping thing I think, but I could be wrong.
I mention these as they are relevant for the cyclone rated areas and blocks are good for 'beginners projects' and retaining walls.
Lots more pics coming soon(could a pic of the plasticizer and non-plasticizer mortar be added - i.e. would the pic show a differance?)
Looks the same, although I can hear the difference when its in the mixer, sad isnt it. :yeah:
Is 'slump testing' used in mortar?
No
It is already a very useful site and I've bookmarked it for future cruising.... more detail will make it an excellent site. :H
