We’re building an igloo! Wait, I mean an outdoor kitchen!
What happens here
Once the blocks are cut to size, begin assembling the base structure. Apply a generous bead of Loctite PL Premium Construction Adhesive along the top surface of the previously laid blocks, and also along the vertical edges where blocks will meet. Carefully place the next block onto the adhesive, ensuring it is properly aligned and level. Press firmly to create a strong bond. Repeat this process, stacking blocks in a desired pattern (e.g., staggered like bricks) to build up the walls of the outdoor kitchen/bar base. Regularly check for level and plumb to ensure a straight and sturdy structure.
Goal: Create the structural walls of the outdoor base
