Finishing basement bathroom (full bath when done), block walls, dirt on other side of block ALL the way up save for perhaps the last course of blocks.
Inside, the blocks have three coats of UGL drylock on them. On the outside, they have 2 coats of tar AND some form of plastic sheating.
In 6 years, have NEVER had the first drop/puddle of moisture but did have some small (1/2 diamater of dime) spots that I THINK were mold spots. I hit them (and entire wall) with strong bleach solution.
Ok, I've got a stack of good regular 2x4's. I've got several treated 2x4's to use as plates along floor/wall.
Can I use NON treated 2x4's on the block walls, or should I listen to my gut instinct and either do what's right, or what is overkill. I would be mounting them directly onto the block walls with nothing in between the block & stud (other than the UGL drylock)
