Then lay a second block perpendicular to the first and continue laying out the rest of the base course working from the corner out. Make sure to construct the base course according to standard site prep and installation procedures. ADDITIONAL COURSES On the second course, place all blocks on bond along one side of the corner. Once the second course of one wall is established, begin the second course of the adjacent wall. Split units or units of varying sizes may be required on this wall to maintain running bond. Continue to alternate the corner unit orientation with each course and always use a concrete adhesive on the corner units. Extend second course beyond corner to prevent settling (remove rear lip as needed and glue in place with concrete adhesive) NOTE: To split a block, use a hydraulic splitter or split manually by using a hammer and chisel to score the block on all sides. Pound the chisel on the same line until the block splits. If partial unit sides are not exposed, use a saw with a diamond blade to achieve a tighter fit.
