Abstract:
1. A method for attaching a wall formation to a foundation wall comprising: providing a pre-fabricated wall formation for attachment to a foundation wall; forming a plurality of cavities in spaced apart relationship along the upper surface of the foundation wall to which the wall formation will be attached; providing a plurality of foot members associated with the bottom portion of the wall formation, said foot members being positioned in spaced apart relationship so as to correspond with the spacing of said foundation cavities when the wall formation is positioned over said foundation wall; positioning at least two support blocks on the upper surface of the foundation wall at a location between said plurality of cavities; filling each of said cavities with a cement slurry; positioning the wall formation on top of said at least two support blocks such that said foot members are received within said cavities and within said cement slurry; allowing the cement slurry to harden; and removing said at least two support blocks after the cement slurry has hardened such that a gap exists between the bottom portion of the wall formation and the upper surface of the foundation wall.
