Title: Re: Masons? for a small job? Post by: Ida_Mann on June 09, 2005, 07:10:39 AM I could, but the home is concrete block, and I want to continue that,,,,pluss, my babies are going in the garage,,,,,I want them as secure as possible.

Title: Re: Masons? for a small job? Post by: Ida_Mann on June 09, 2005, 09:16:52 AM just a 1-car carport and I'll have measurements soon, but standard size carport and roof,,,,,dunno even what that is.
but I have another idea as well that I would need a mason for, or someone to teach me how to lay the concrete block,,,,I'd love to do it myself if I could learn. Id@ Title: Re: Masons? for a small job? Post by: ace5180 on June 09, 2005, 02:05:21 PM It is not difficult to learn, but it is very tedious and you must have the patience to deal with it. If you want to learn how, I would be more than happy to teach you.

Post by: TRX350_On_The_Rack on June 10, 2005, 09:02:03 AM You get permits for this? Not sure what the building code is where you live, but if it does require a permit and you haven't got one I'd do it before it's too late with the Hurricane Season and all. By the way where are you located? If I can make it I would be happy to help.
