Hello everyone. To help with climate concerns I am from Ont. Can. My
wife and I are looking at putting on an addition 32' x 34' 1 floor with
kitchen and bath. We are hoping to avoid basement and crawlspace. Our
existing wall we want butt against is 8" concrete block with a 1 1\2 A
Frame on top. I was thinking about doing the addition on a frost wall
with slab floor. We plan on in floor heat. Question is am I on the
right track? Down 4" with wall and footing, but how to secure it to block
wall? Any help would be great.

TY
Pints

Lag screws into pre-drilled holes? Insulate between studs and concrete
wall as they do with sill plates on concrete footings.

Perfect!! I don't plan on doing the whole job, i have some qualified
contractors lined up. Am I correct with my thoughts on the frost wall and
slab? Missprint on the 4" deep meant 4'. Asking questions so I don't get
snowballed ty. Pints
