Wall Starter Bars

I've been a bit confused about how block walls are joined. Eventually I refered to the BCA and it recomended sort of wall starter bars. Both the block layerer and concrete guy vaguely recommended drilling them chem set them in after core fill. This is very expensive so I drilled a few holes and put some N12 400mm wall starter bars in.

You can just make them out below - I put yellow caps on them to protect people. The bars are a tight fit and I put mortar around them to try to stop core fill leaking.
