Anyone have any experience with dry stack engineered blocks? (such as http://www.azargroup.com/azarblock/index1.html or other dry stack sytems)
The idea peaks my curiosity. I know material costs will be higher but curious as to the speed/scheduling aspects.

Based on my experiences with other motarless blocks---Go more than 4' high and it will start to be less straight and will require "spacer sand" to get it straight again.
When grouting, spray water in the cells prior to, it make to grout bond better to the block.
I don't like blocks of any kind for foundations because there are so many issues with them that a poured foundation doesn't have.
