Monoblock

might be asking a stupid Q here but , does are you able to lay sand and monoblock in wet weather or is it best to wait for a drier period?

ie does a wet sub base make a difference to finished block?

i assume your laying on a sharp sand screed. if thats the case no problem. it will compact down a little better anyway. you just wont be able to do the kiln dried sand at the end

Howdy 'neighbour',
My pal in Kilwinning had his done over the last 2 days when it was absolutely bucketing - but as Thermo says, you cant do the Kiln finishing stuff until its dry. Easy enough done with a hired whacker which is cheap as chips.
