Repairing cinder block wall

[lennyzx11]

I would wok both directions till I see no more cracked joints or blocks. That is your new cut line. Probably need to shore up the floor in that corner too. AS Cat driver said; replace with concrete unless you are a good block layer. Use high strength mortar if blocks are chosen. I have don a couple similar projects in my far past.

So basically remove the bad blocks, form a flat surface on both sides and fill with high strength concrete?
Not quite sure how to do the last few inches on top under the sill plate but maybe leave enough room to get a trowel in and pack it in. Then after it sets, fill the last little bit.

Pour it, but leave the proper space for a row or two of mortared bricks across the top.

Frame up the inside and outside to above the sill plate only wider. Pour concrete in the gap between the sill and forming. Overfill a little to ensure concrete that is in full contact wit the sill.

Another way would be to form in a metal plate on rebar supports that fits flush with the sill. Fill in the gap with grout.

I would also evaluate the sill. It looks like that could be badly decayed so incorporate that into your job.

Replace the sill plate last. Jack the corner up slightly above level, then set it down on he new sill plate. Even with block put some K web in the horizontal joints and a few vertical rods tied to the K web and concrete grout in the cells.

Between the rain showers I got a little more done on my garage foundation. Of course this has turned into a bigger job than planned.
Dug the bowing back wall out pushed back in place with tractor, pressure washed the wall off is where I’m at. Plan on a 4” perforated pipe and French drain next with a 60 mil membrane against the outside of the wall.

This all started from a tree allowed to grow next to the foundation in the past by previous owner.

From the one picture consider getting underneath and checking all the floor components for rot.

Good to see that you are still at it.

The floor is slab there at the bottom of the hole in the concrete. It and the sill plate on top op the blocks appear and n good shape the wooden siding bottom courses are rotted but I am going to replace that as the build the 30x40 addition. This area is getting a leanto for implement parking so I want to fix this mess before I build that over it.

I’m decent with the backhoe but there are a few “beauty marks” on the building from the touchy control valves!
So I better wait till back hoe is outta there before doing that!

Update 15AUG19
Patched the holes and bad places in the outer wall with concrete mix and cement.

Had the first aww man... after the HF mixer tried to fall over on me. Looking at the certified repair you can see a bolt head sticking out slightly. (By the U in Husky).
The inner tubing broke in half around the bolt holes and when I went to dump a full tub, it pulled out dumping everything on me, the bucket, and ground.
I practiced a few of my choicest words that I’m never allowed to used when my 5 yr old granddaughter is near.
Nope, you guys can’t see my masonry work. It is just that good. Yeah right.

Got the membrane on. HINT don’t be stubborn like me. Get somebody to help you roll and stick this. I caught h3ll on this by myself.

Laid about 6-8” gravel, then 4” perf pipe wrapped in landscape fabric.
Then covered with the front bucket.
Here’s a question. Should I fill the whole trench with gravel back up to grade or start covering it back with dirt?
This will be a gravel floored lean to eventually with gutters so water should hopefully not be a problem going forward.
