Well, he has purchased Quick-crete and is pouring it in the holes around the bases of his footers and dumping some down the holes in the cinderblocks themselves.
Quick-crete is great stuff. Holds real good. Will be lots of fun to dig up and try to fix when the frost heave gets to work on it. Heh heh heh.
Shared the weekend adventure with the engineer-types at work- even drew a diagram on my whiteboard. They were roaring with laughter. Even with mortar/Quick-crete, those footers need to be set below the frostline and the blocks require some additional reinforcement.
