Concrete Blocks.. Civil Engi-Halp
« on: Sat, 17 September 2016, 07:38:21 »
Emphasis on Flatness.. Need flatness

Buy premade and drill holes..

Vs....

DIY Cast



Thoughts?

Do ya'll think premade is cast more _flatly_ than DIY.. since they prolly got better molds?


Is it hard to drill concrete without cracking it ?..  does a cast hole work better/ more rigid-ly/ structurally sound than a drilled hole ?

Not much to go on but drilling holes in masonry is no fun.

If you can get pavers in the right size and shape, and you only need a few small holes, drill.

If you know how to cast your own and need many, that will be easier.

That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
