If a Pisa II corner is 1/4" thinner than the regular Pisa II blocks making up 1 1/2" in a 3 foot wall is excessive. If you are telling me that I am overbuilding at that height. And I am not doing anything fancy. Just a wall with a corner. One of our walls was featured in your catalog many years back. It was Pisa II and over 12' tall (engineered) but I tell you that it cost me about $10.00 in pennies. I get the same sort of problems with cap. I see as much as a 1/4" of variation from one end to the other. Some years are better than others and I have learned to compensate and live with it.

Bob don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining and it is my fault for not wearing rubber boots, just say what our old rep used to tell us. "It's the plight of the industry"

In this day and age with millimeter tolerances on everything from lumber to toilet paper the concrete block manufacturers should be able to make a consistent product.

I still like Unilock and think it is one of the best but you did sound like the salesman




Well said Dan!

I have never asked anyone to pay for my companies screw ups, why is it that we are asked to sell someone else's?
