Well since they just doug the basement the other day, they probably just poored the footings. Usually wait 7-10 days after the footing are poored before pooring the walls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has nothing to do with being in the sticks Lots of people do block walls. They are especially good if you want to finish your basement. Way better for heat down there All depends on what type of soil you have. Buddy of mine is in all sand and did block walls. His basement is warm all winter Edited May 5, 2017 by SVT Renegade XRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually faster and cheaper. As long as it is done right and the blocks get filled with crete leaving no pockets and a good spray membrane is applied on the outside...good to go!

He never built any houses before that one with block before his, in almost 40 years. It will probably crumble in a few years, if not months Edited May 5, 2017 by SVT Renegade XRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
