    6 or 8 inch cavity block be fine too. Put row of bondbeam first row with rebar and cement. Run rebar up every four cells from foundation and grout

    I have shutters here made back in 96. They measure 16ftx6. 3 sheets of 18mm ply 7 lengths of 6x2 and a 6x3 went into each.5 5ft soldiers made of 2 6x3 stand outside each shutter and the whirly bolts go tbrough th whole lot. When they're up God nor man wont shift them. Im actually putting them up here to do a wall outside a slatted house next week. I have pics of smaller 13x2 pans that I have also. I'll try to put them up.

    Nice shutters FoxyFarmer,,,, did you gain that experience in earlier days as a " concrete animal" with the Local 608 union boys in NYC or as a McAlpine fusilier in London perhaps like many of us? :)

    You're on the ball!
    Father worked on buildings in New York back in the sixties. Worked with a well known Cork construction firm up till 98. All his family had an addiction to concrete. Myself and 2 cousins have the same complaint.
    I'll put up a few pics when I've them assembled. Probably monday now. Hope to get foundations finished tomorrow.
