Theresa, we used a chop saw with a concrete blade. (Not really concrete, but
a substance that cuts concrete.)  It works pretty well.

Sawed??  Wow, never would have guessed that.  What kind of saw would I look

The blocks are sawed, Theresa. You can probably rent a saw--hand-held
or table--to do it.
