Once the wall is built check it is straight.
Use timber baton to prop the wall to the exact line.
If your footing is not level and smooth extra propping may be needed.
The props are not to stop the wall from falling over just to keep it straight.

Close the end blocks off using metal or timber board.
Fill the walls using a pump or by hand.
Use a 10mm Aggregate: S4, Use a 3inch reducer when pumping.
Quantities if hand mixing:
-350kg of CP J 45 Cement
-800kg 10mm gravel
-400kg sharp Sand
-170 litres of water
As the concrete is poured the cream will weep through the perforations. When it starts to stiffen rub this back smooth with the block to create a smooth flat finish.
If you find not enough cream weeped through mix up a 3:1 render mix using kiln dried sand to fill any remaining holes.
