With help from our neighbor Scott and couple strong friends we were able to transport 520 blocks from our driveway to the backyard pond in just a few hours. Only managed to break a few blocks in the process.

I completed the second course of block the other night. Since I’m going with the dry stack method of construction on this pond the second course was glued down with construction adhesive. After sitting for 24 hours I started cutting a channel in the top of the blocks for the first ring of horizontal rebar. Next step will be placing more vertical and horizontal rebar in and tying it all together.
