I gotta say, these Weinerburger Porotherm blocks http://www.wienerberger.com/servlet/...wb_com_home_en are like lego and go up like lego and anyone can lay them
unlike our tradition in the UK for two parallel walls that take a huge amount of time and skill to lay
I am surprised noone in the uk is building with these Porotherm blocks systems

We've done the lot for about £250 and it pays for itself in no time.

thanks for the info, I didn't know that.
I will keep that in mind for the future. We've only been in here for a couple of months so I'm waiting to see what the first gas and lecky bills are gonna be
