Extension: framing question

thegoodjudge | Posted in General Questions on

I’m building a rear extension on my Brooklyn home. I want to use CMU to build side walls but I want to stud out the rear wall with 2×6. Is this a ever done? How would the stud wall connect to the cmu? Thank you

    Hi Armen -

    I did a quick search on GBA for walkout basement info, and came up empty.

    It looks as though our good friends over at JLC online have a pretty good resource: https://www.jlconline.com/how-to/foundations/job-log-adding-a-walkout-basement_o.
