I will try to upload some photos of what I am doing. I am thinking now that I may just skip the 12 in. block and use just 8 in. with a ledge made of 4 in. solids cemented to the outside. The inspector said that the 12 in. would have to be core filled. More work and more money. Using 4 in. L's would shrink the size down to an even block size , but it would run me close to the inner edge of the footer. Originally started out at 26 block across the back and 25 down the sides. I did not realize that the ledge would shrink the wall down 8 inches. I'll need about 100 to 150 4 in. to replace the 12's
