I took this photo on a site today. Look at the bottom of that block stack. Those blocks are cracking before a single load has been placed on them. Nobody has even used them to build yet and the blocks are already breaking apart. This is what happens when your block molder uses too much sand and too little cement just to cut cost. The blocks look fine when they come out of the mold. They even feel okay when you stack them. But the moment any pressure comes or the sun hits them hard enough they start to fail. The scary part is that most clients never notice this. They see blocks stacked up on site and they feel good. Progress is happening. Money is moving. But the wall going up on a weak foundation of bad blocks is not progress. It is a problem you are paying to build. Before your next project starts ask your contractor to test the blocks. A simple delivery test will help you, if 500 blocks are delivered and 10 blocks damaged, it's a poor block. This check can tell you a lot. Better yet hire someone to supervise material delivery so rubbish blocks never make it to your site. Have you ever observed blocks supplied to your site having many breakages?

RCCG stayed in my dad’s property for free, for good 15 years. Time to make him pastor, they realized his family are not members of the church & forgot the free property & equipments. One midnight, my younger brother & I brought out all their things.

“But the curse of every ancient civilization was that its men in the end became unable to fight. Materialism, luxury, safety, even sometimes an almost modern sentimentality, weakened the fibre of each civilized race in turn; each became in the end a nation of pacifists, and then each was trodden under foot by some ruder people that had kept that virile fighting power the lack of which makes all other virtues useless and sometimes even harmful.” -Teddy Roosevelt
