Laying the ground work
The location we chose for the new
building has a bit of a slope to it. This requires different size
blocks at different intervals to make it all level.
After a shopping spree at the hardware store I learned you can get the
solid cinder blocks in both 4 inch and 2 inch sizes, which oddly cost
the same even though you get twice as much material with the 4 inch
version.
