Before adding succeeding courses the out- side surface of this row is parged with a mixture containing sand and cement, then rounded d'ow'n, or "caved" over the footing. ('are- ful work at this stage can mean the difference between a wet and a dry basement. If the work is shoddy, leaks may develop after heavy rains or following the spring thaw. Mortar joints should be of even width and each row of blocks laid perfectly level. It is especially important that the first row be well laid. Correcting defects in one row by making adjustments in 'the next will only result in an unsightly job. The wall should be carried to the proper height. An extra row of blocks may be needed to get adequate head clearance in the basement. Usually, 11. rows of blocks are required. , The last course of blocks, on which the floor joists will rest, are either solid blocks without the usual cavities or blocks: filled afterwards with concrete. This is to provide an even bearing and prevent cracking under the weight of the superstructure. One further operation is requir- ed to complete a block foundation. The bottom row of blocks has been purged, Now the entire wall surface on the outside must be treated in the same manner. For- ging is a plastering operation in which the cement and sand mix- ture in a wet state is. applied to the blocks. This acts as a water repellant and also improves the appearance of the foundation walls. Forging should be 'applied as evenly as possible.

If the jab is entrusted 'to art amateur, a. work- manlike job cannot be expected. A poorly erected foundation de- tracts from the appearance, as well as from the value of the house. The builder should purchase foundation blocks from a reliable firm which regularly submits samples of its products for com- pressive strength tests, Blocks should not be used until they are four weeks old to allow time for theconcrete te harden. Cracked blocks should be rejected, though a few surface hairline cracks, not extending 'through the block, need cause no concern, as they won't impair the strength of the struc- ture. , When building up the corners of the foundation wall, blocks de- signed especially for this purpose should be used. They produce a better and neater job than simply lapping ordinary blocks. The joint between the footlitg— and the foundation is where leaks are most likely to develop.
