The first row of wall concrete blocks arrive.

 
We used a Bobcat to both unload the DAC-ART blocks and place the first course on the slab.

Scott & Darrel continued to use the Bobcat to stack the lower courses right on the stained & scored concrete floor.

After the first two courses of DAC-ART blocks were set, a clear acrylic sealer/finish was sprayed on the concrete floor. It went on white & dried clear. A piece of cardboard was all that was necessary to shield the  blocks. The color of the floor darkened slightly after the finish coat.

The interior of the DAC-ART block is filled with concrete which flows horizontally through the blocks as well as vertically. Notice the electrical boxes precast into the DAC-ART blocks. The wiring will run thru the center of the blocks, so conduit is added as each course is added. You will want to be sure that your plans include all your electrical outlets  cable and phone outlets from the beginning. If you plan to use cable Internet access, plan for that, and if your computer has a TV tuner, include two cable outlets where it will be used.
