    We use a lot of cement bricks here as well. Due to the fact that they have almost the same expansion coefficient as steel and with Our fairly large temperature shifts between summer (45 Deg) and winter (0 Deg) here at the coast even more severe inland, that is important to prevent cracks when combining the building materials.

    My point was the cent bricks are also heavy on the hands. 2 sets of gloves to move 1000 bricks from ground level to the next.
