Blocks to floor Level

The lads were on site thursday and Friday last week, laying blocks so far they are going through a load a day. 880 blocks on a healy brothers load, also got one bail of 4" soaps a bail of 6" soaps a bail of 2" pads and a bail of 45o degree squint blocks. Had a tonne of cement delivered to them also on Friday. Another load of blocks being delivered this morning, i called to the site this morning before leaving for work and put out the water pump, all blocks that they had laid last week were under water. Hopefully this would allow them to get straight into laying and they would not have to go swimming!!!! Went to take some pictures the weekend but the batteries died will update them soon!
Anyway the far back wall in the kitchen when 4 blocks high in order to be level with the front corner of the sitting room will need to be 10 blocks high. For the structure of the sitting room and with the big glass gable there we are putting the inner leaf as a block on flat for structure. All blocks to floor level though are going in on the flat to offer support for two reasons there will be a lot fill to go in and for the steel structure with the mezz floating floor.
