Or just cut the first row blocks at 10 degrees. If you really mean breeze blocks (or thermalites) you can cut them with a normal wood saw, although you will blunt it so use a cheap one.
Lightweight/aircrete blocks are not often left exposed to knocks and bangs because they’re comparatively soft and easy to dent . . . or are you looking for a “lived in” effect ?
hi folks, here’s a bit more info. And i checked the floor – it’s at 13 degrees – you can see the direction of the slope by looking at the blocks on the wall.
Here we’d be wanting to plumb the sink and a washing machine too.
a hill?
i dont understand why your floor is like that?
things get built level not just following the local topography.
level the floor out mun, then you wont have to prop your fridge up on bricks!
i suppose you could make a shutter and pour some concrete in to level it off before you lay the blocks maybe. if your set on the idea of a sloping floor, could make a plinth for the fridge while your at it
Why not just level the floor locally, to create a little plinth for the sink and mashing machine to sit on? Knock together some shuttering and fill with concrete. You’ll be creating a ‘wedge’ of concrete, and with a washing machine vibrating away on top it may attempt to travel down the slope. To counter this I’d drill two or three holes in the floor, along the width of where the plinth is going to go, and stick some short lengths (100mm) of rebar in. Say 50mm deep holes, with 50mm rebar sticking out. When you pour the concrete the rebar will be covered, and these pegs will anchor the plinth and stop it going anywhere.

Ok. I’ll level the floor. I’ll have a foot gap to get into my garage but you’re the expert.
I think we have those covered in the building side of things
As a short term on the plinth to make everything from a level base sounds like the best idea, just make sure you pay extra for the self levelling concrete
