ABSTRACT:
A self-aligning block that includes a body that has at least one mortise therein, and at least one tenon that extends from the body. A respective tenon of one self-aligning block is received in a respective mortise in the bottom surface of the body of a next higher staggered the self-aligning block of one wall to a height that provides an automatic mortar space between the one self-aligning block and the next higher staggered self-aligning block from course to course of the one wall. That portion of the lateral alignment spacer that extends from the longitudinal alignment spacer to a respective tenon of one self-aligning block of one wall is higher than and is received by a respective longitudinal alignment recess in a respective side face of the body of a next higher staggered self-aligning block of a perpendicular wall, with a respective side face of the body of the next higher staggered self-aligning block of the one wall abutting against the longitudinal alignment spacer of the one self-aligning block of the perpendicular wall so as to assure proper longitudinal and lateral spacing between self-aligning blocks of the same course of perpendicular walls, while further assuring proper mortar spacing between courses of the perpendicular walls.
