My Latest Project
I really tried hard on this one... I think I finally learned how to properly frame and build an addition. This one is rock solid!

Re: My Latest Project
Lots of stodgy ol' bastards would say
the cores have to point up! They just want to stifle the creative side of the out of the box thinker. We need more innovators.

Re: My Latest Project
I guess it looks ok, I would just be concerned that you didn't use enough liquid nails in between the stacked pieces

Re: My Latest Project
I was supposed to use LN! Woops, when I saw the price per tube, I figured it was a scam.

Any particular reason you didn't just mortar up 4 block pillar and crib from there? No doubt is solid, but looks temporary. Not being a mason I have no idea what kind of overall strength that block standing on end has, but I would bet it has more laying the way that it was designed too.

Re: My Latest Project
