(a)Tools-(1)leg adduction -while lying on your side brace your abdomen.
(b)plank-lie down on your stomach and brace the core muscles.
(2)straight edge -this usually made up of piece of Wood which is
planed and smoothing on both side.
(3)block laying-it is brick and blocks laying -bricks and block layers provide the building blocks for many construction projects in new Zealand.
(a)Concreting-concrete production is the process if mixing together the various ingredients-water ,aggregate, cement, and any additive-to produce concrete....

1: Wall Straightening tools can be define as tools used to plumb a wall or level a surface. it can also be used in checking angles and leveling of a block work.

Two examples of wall straightening tools are
* spirit level
* plumb rule

2:Straight edge (range): it is made up of piece of wood which is planed and smoothened on both sides. its length can be up to 2.0m and it's use to check the level of flatness of a newly led wall and to ensure that all blocks laid are done at the same level.

3: Differentiate B/w block laying fine concreting

1. in block laying blocks are laid while in concreting, concretes are cast.

2. concreting work require batching and mixing during production while i n block laying it does no require them.

3. In block laying tools like block laying trowel, jointing board,straight edge(range) etc are used In laying blocks while in concreting tools like concrete vibrator, concrete mixer etc are used.

(1b) line and pin
spirit level

(2.).straight edge is a bar(metal or wood) used to test weather the wall is straight.

(3.).Block laying is laying of blocks ot bricks to stand firm using mortar.

while concreting is batching and mixing during production for either concrete or mortar for laying of blocks or bricks, it has a ratio of 1:5 or 1:6.

(2) Straight Edge (Range), It is made up of piece of wood which is planed and smoothened on both sides and it is use to check the level of flatness of a newly laid wall to check if they in same level,and its length can be up to 2.0m.

(3) In Brock laying tools like trowel, jointing board, straight edge (range) are used in laying Brocks. While in concreting tool like concrete vibrator, concrete mixer, Tanner etc are used.

* In Brock laying - Brock are laid while concrete are cast

* In concreting work - It requires batching and mixing during production, while in Brock laying it does not require such.

ANS 1. Wall Straightening Tools are tools used in checking angles and leveling of a block wall. it can also be used to level a surface or plumb a wall.
b. Examples are: Boat level and Carborundum stone
2. Explain straight edge: straight edge is the longest level and it is mainly for horizontal walls. it is made up of a pieces of wood which is smother and plain on both side. it can used in checking the flatness of a building leveling wall and to ensure that all blocks lay are at the same level and its lengths is about 2.0ms.
3. The different between Blocklaying and Concreting
Ans: Blocklaying is a way of arranging bricks or blocks in an orderly way with the use of laying tools side as block towel, jointly board and steel square while concreting is achieved by a homogenous mixture of cement, coarse and fine aggregates and water for hydration to occur, consolidate hard to set as stone.

1. Define Wall Straightening Tool and Give (2) Examples?
Wall straightening tools are those tools that are useful and support in block laying to plumb or level a surface or a block wall in other to get the accurate angles of the wall.
Examples:
1) Spirit level
2) Boat lever and tingle plate

2. What is straight edges (Range)
These can be refers to as a piece of wood with it both side planned and smooth for the purpose of checking the level of flatness of a newly led wall and it measure 2.0nm in length.

3. Differentiate between block laying from concreting.
Block laying is the act of molding block in different size for a construction work or concreting work.
WHILE
Concreting is normally done by bricklayer i.e mixing gravel, sand and cement to fill beams and laying other part of the wall that requires to be more stronger and to be able to withstand a great deal of use or wear. Like mould machines and concrete mixer.

1: Wall Straightening tools can be define as tools used to plumb a wall or level a surface. it can also be used in checking angles and leveling of a block work.

Two examples of wall straightening tools are
* spirit level
* plumb rule

2:Straight edge (range): it is made up of piece of wood which is planed and smoothened on both sides. its length can be up to 2.0m and it's use to check the level of flatness of a newly led wall and to ensure that all blocks laid are done at the same level.

3: Differentiate B/w block laying fine concreting

1. in block laying blocks are laid while in concreting, concretes are cast.

2. concreting work require batching and mixing during production while i n block laying it does no require them.

3. In block laying tools like block laying trowel, jointing board,straight edge(range) etc are used In laying blocks while in concreting tools like concrete vibrator, concrete mixer etc are used.
