DVD Movie. DVD via Postal mail. Next day shipping.

We now offer this new DVD. It provides an overview and introduction to the dry stacked block process. Viewing the DVD movie results in an experience similar to being there during the construction. The DVD does not replace the DryStacked Construction Handbook, but instead, supplements the Handbook by demonstrating skills and actions that are not easily conveyed with words.

A separate CD is now included with this DVD when you don't order TheCadTrain-CD. This CD introduces you to QCad drawing training and includes video training lessons that supplement issues described in the e-Book listed above. Just insert this CD into your Windows computer and an auto-run video lesson menu will appear.

In the DVD movie I use a fabricated lift hoist and hopper to place concrete in the wall cells by myself. You can also do this by hand using 5 gallon plastic buckets. For example, pouring the entire bond-beam by hand on my work garage took two men about 6 hours, including the concrete mixer operation. This garage is 31' x 51'.

This one-hour DVD movie will demonstrate how to achieve quality drystacked walls.

Price: $21.95, Includes domestic First Class shipping and handling. Shipping to International location will require the $3 option described above.

Download the Excel file.

Some customers have expressed a desire to modify the spreedsheet tables to reflect a particular block size that they build with. This download consists of the master Excel spreedsheet file. Modify at your own risk. Remember that the wall growth factor will vary inversely proportional to the block size adjustment. For a given percentage of increase in unit block size, reduce the wall growth factor by the same percentage as the block size change.
