Garage concrete block installation

We hired Stones Throw Masonry to lay 8 courses of concrete block for our new 28' X 30' cottage garage with loft.
The brothers John and Justin come from a long line of family stone masons. The first thing I noticed was how well they work together, they worked very efficently and accuately.
The brothers started off with using a laser level to get accuate lines of reference and then did a dry stack of block on all four corners and re-checked for squareness and plumb. They then drilled holes for the block rebar in the concrete footings. They started laying block and on every second course they add block lock reinforcing metal webs, and on top of the last course they installed anchor bolts as per building code. The brothers finishing the mortor joints on both sides of the block frost wall as they progressed up.
When my son inlaw a proffesional framer by trade with On Time Contracting came up the frame the 2X6 stud walls the first thing he did was to check to see how square and plumb the blocks where. He was very impressed as he checked diagonally corner to corner at 41' and found that they where within 3/8 of an inch of being perfectly square. He wished all his sites where as accurate as that and hopes to work with Stones Throw Masonry in the future.
Both John and Justin are excellent at thier craft, they completed the job in 2 days and I couldn't be happier with the end result.
I highly recommend Stones Throw Masonry for all your stone, block and landscaping needs.
Thanks again.
Sincerely
Paul Stephenson
