Combo Footing Spreaders/Block Support
This is the secret of my block placement. The boards are for the fast footer fabric, but the metal pieces are 24" sections of Cold Formed Steel "track" for CFS 2.5" studs. The material is readily available at building material stores for $6.50 for 10' sticks. I cut them into pieces to fit our 21" footer width (24" with the footer boards). I stood on the board to make sure they would support the block weight. I used only two for most blocks, more where I intended to make future alterations to the block.
