What happens here

After applying the adhesive, carefully place the next course of interlocking concrete blocks on top. Ensure each block is properly staggered or offset from the blocks in the course below for enhanced structural integrity and a visually appealing pattern. Gently press each block into the fresh adhesive. Use a rubber mallet to tap the blocks into their final position, ensuring they are snug against each other and fully seated in the adhesive. Continuously check the level of each individual block and the entire course with a spirit level, both horizontally and vertically, to maintain a straight, plumb, and even wall surface. The video shows the worker meticulously placing and adjusting blocks, and using a level to verify alignment.

Goal: Accurately construct the wall courses and ensure levelness

Tools and materials
