Walls and Bond Beam Cage


Mercedes, Giorie, Pedreiro, and Servante worked on building up and weaving the walls while John, Ethan, and Julie installed the bond beam cages and James completed the fabrication of the structural trusses.  Walls that meet at corner or "T" conditions are woven together whereas every other course block laps the previous block perpendicularly.  Masons line and the plumb bob are the tools of choice for level and plumb and squaring the space is a matter of keeping an eye on the diagonal dimensions of the space.
