If you do not care to buy or rent a
machine for making the hollow con-
crete blocks, would advise you build
ing hollow concrete wall, which is
done the same as solid wall, except
having bevelled plank set in center
of wall and when walls are built to
top of planks these can be lifted out
leaving a space. Or take two 7-S inch
boards with long wedges between
them set in position and when ready
to lift, loosen wedges and the boards
will come out easily. A good way to
tie wall together is by using hoop iron
bent up at each end and bedded in
the concrete. For a dwelling house
where the walls are strapped, lathed
and plastered. A solid concrete wall
is considered to be a good dry and
warm will. The air space between
the lath and wall prevents the damp
ness from striking through.
