The Dry Stacking

The first round of concrete blocks was mortared to the footings; the footings had to be ground down so that it was level. Then the blocks were dry stacked. Sam and Ben had to make adjustments to get the blocks level and in a circle.

The dry stacked concrete blocks were then filled with dirt, which was tamped down solidly. The cracks between blocks were filled in with mortar and scraped flat.
