<br />1. Erect masonry plumb, true to line, level, and accurately spaced, with each <br />course breaking joints with course next below, unless a stacked pattern is <br />indicated in the Drawings. <br /> <br />2. Keep bond pattern plumb throughout, and corners and reveals plumb and <br />true. <br /> <br />3. Use power drills and saws for penetration of plumbing and other pipes in <br />exposed locations. <br /> <br />4. Fill chases and knockouts after other work is installed in them to restore the <br />integrity of the wall. <br /> <br />I. For Exposed Masonry Finishes <br /> <br />1. Do not use cracked, spalled, or chipped blocks. <br /> <br />2. Use extra care to set blocks plumb, with even, uniform tooled joints, and to <br />keep mortar smears from the face of the block. <br /> <br />3. Set courses level and line up the face of the units to provide a flat surface <br />without warpage or breaks at the joints. <br /> <br />4. Strike the excess mortar from the joints with a trowel run parallel to the joint <br />to avoid smearing the block face. <br /> <br />5. Joint thickness: 3/8-inch. <br /> <br />6. Keep setting mortar from the face of the block and wipe excess away before <br />it sets. <br /> <br />a. The blocks will remain exposed and painted in the finished condition. <br /> <br />b. Replace blocks defaced by excessive mortar smears that interfere with <br />the uniform texture and color of the wall. <br /> <br /> <br />END OF SECTION <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />NE 174th Street Roadway Improvements <br />04200 - 5 Unit Masonry <br />14-1758 / 09-19-2014 <br />
