It did get me wondering, though, if the blocks were actually made using cinders or if that's simply a regional colloquialism. I did a quick search and came up with [url=http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCUQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eng-tips.com%2Fviewthread.cfm%3Fqid%3D94710&ei=1Z1HVY78E4n2yQSdzoH4Cg&usg=AFQjCNGu1cMK2cBIi0DQXKoxZmJajSvyWQ&sig2=nj0GCRf4WCNRTmPI-kSKHA&bvm=bv.92291466,d.aWw&cad=rja' Wrote:THIS[/url]. I thought that the second to last reply was interesting. Eek

While working at Angeles Block made the mistake once of calling them bricks. The boss quickly corrected me that they are cinder blocks NOT bricks. Here's a link to Wikipedia definitions:

Don't remember CMU being used at Angeles Block.

Thanks everyone!!

I have really been having a blast with this project. I am really looking forward to getting the interior finished so I can get the exterior finished up. If things work out the interior may be done as early as next weekend but we will see what life has I order.

As far as the Cinder Blocks. The area around Bend is all on volcanic soil. Do a google search for BN Lava siding. One of the customers I am working to model is Central Oregon Pumice. Some of the pumice was shipped to a few different cinder block manufacturers in Oregon and California. One of the plants at Deschutes Oregon had a mine and would make cinder blocks on site. I have not found any evidence of them shipping blocks but they did ship pumice.
