Re: 6 Inch Block Garage Foundation?????
Masonking02 -
Better yet, use 6" or 8" all the way and give the man a bigger garage. Then there will be more work for masons everywhere. 12", 14" and 16" thick block walls are OK in their place, but they should not be used as an excuse for poor design or construction. - A waste of time and money.

Re: 6 Inch Block Garage Foundation?????
In many places they make 12", 14" and 16" thick block for walls. There is a place for them if you have high lateral loads.
In places where they use a lot of 6" block for high rise buildings, they have no need for 12" block so they use 2-6" block on the first floor of a 20 story building. The need for 12" block is so low, the are only available on special order. The 14" and 16" are for insecure engneers in the U.S. or for specal situations like a high garage wall in an apartment building or a foundaton wall under a 4" brick, 2" cavity and 8" back-up wall.
