The string guide shows the location of the trench and also acts as way to set the height of the next row of blocks - the string is raised for each row and a spirit level can be used to check it is horizontal.

Day 10 - 20% of a wall
Mid way through week two and we have part of a wall on one side of the house. You can kind of see how the foundations, steel rebar and walls are all connected together. There is also a piece of rebar in between one layer of block and the next at the bottom of the picture.

The string guide shows the location of the trench and also acts as way to set the height of the next row of blocks - the string is raised for each row and a spirit level can be used to check it is horizontal.
