Re: Dream shop?
It was a lot of extra work, but my stem wall is rebared to the foundation and the block is fully grouted. It was a ton of extra work, but should pay off in longevity.
Block walls are terrible for adsorbing water when used in a "basement" condition. They LOVE water. Set a block in a little puddle of water and it will suck it up (conversely, if set in the sun, they also dry out very quickly). You have to do a really good job water proofing block if used in a basement condition, even if fully grouted. So many people cheap out on the water proofing and drainage part.
