Dry Laying CMUs
Hey guys, I was wondering what some of you guys use to dry lay block? What I am talking about is I have a modular home that needs block layed under it for looks only, and I was thinking of laying them dry and using some sort of concrete or stucco product to hold them together?
So what do you guys use in the form of mortar, conrete, or stucco, and also do you lay the first coure in a bed of mortar or simply lay it dry? If you guys could help I would appreciate it, THANKS |
