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.

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated."
