Although the name is "Barry's Big Blog of Building" this is not a big blog of Barry's buildings. Rather it is an attempt on my part to photograph and accurately identify all of the aspects of construction I can.
The blog was created to help me learn about building types, parts and elements. No attempt will be made to identify any individual builder, designer or worker. Instead, this blog will represent the collective knowledge of laborers, trades people and designers alike.
Now, to do this right I will most certainly need your input. If you believe I have mislabeled something or if you know of another name for a featured element than please let me know in the comments. If it becomes plain that I am out and out wrong about the name of something than the post will be removed.
Finally, I'll say that a post will consist of one picture and be given only one label. The label will be chosen based upon post title and what I intended to convey. I will repeat elements as often as new, old and interesting examples are found. Sometimes I will rename them to reflect different characteristics. Rather than return to old posts to add to alternate name lists I will simply let the A.K.A's of aspects expand as new examples are added. Keywords will be included with each post to make the blog more searchable.
Thanks to all the books, websites and individuals that make it possible to build the blog of building.

We are one of 2 companies in North America that still produces an old Rock Face Concrete Block. Most of these homes built in the late 1800's and early 1900's used this block to build foundations and sometimes the entire exterior of the house or building. We use the original cast mold from these machines used at the time and many patterns where used. The most popular is the standard (what we call) Classic 8x8x16 mold. Others are the 8x8x16 Panel mold and the 8x8x24 Mold. If you are looking to update, add-on, or repair your house or building. Our product is what you have been looking for. Restore your home with the same look it had 100 years ago with Classic Rockface Block.
