Pouring the backfill concrete into the cavity of the 5th course of blocks--

Because of the design of each block the concrete will flow both vertically and horizontally thru the courses. We are pouring two courses at a time. The mix contains some aggregate (rock) and the mix is designed to be pumped. As the height increases, it becomes necessary to have a concrete delivery truck with a very tall boom pump.


You can see the rebar sticking up and out of the tops of the DAC-ART concrete blocks. The arches over the garage openings are one piece. On the north elevation we will have 3 fake doors. On the eastern side we will have 4 functional garage doors-- three will have arched tops. As the courses are stacked, we continue to add rebar and conduit for electrical wiring plus plumbing in the interior core of the blocks.
