I am preparing my walls for the second pour. Unlike the first pour, I have window and door
openings to deal with. My question has to do with gluing the blocks between the braces on the window bucks. I have corner braces on the bucks, is there a need for continuous strapping all around the buck, or will gluing them with enerfoam hold the blocks (amvic) from bulging between the braces?
Thanks......Larry |

Do Both, it certainly will not hurt if you have the time.
Also, ensure you strap, wire or tape your headers together horizontally, or they may seperate and try to move a bit on you. Also watch for slender corners at windows and doors in which the block may want to move outwards from the bucking, due to concrete placement pressure.
I know you did very well with your basement pour, good luck, although I feel very confident you will enjoy your upper story pour.
