Ok tell me why people don,t just use thinset maortar when laying conrete blocks ?

.like you would if using aircrete blocks 

surely it would have thew same advantages with concrete blocks as it does with aircrete ones ?

like very easy to keep courses in line.If first one is correct .lay more courses beofre it becomes unstable 

 

Cost ... and it’s not got a BBA cert for standard blocks from memory. It also courses really badly with bricks so you end up using driven wall ties rather than standard ties.
