We usually use 2x6 form boards and re-use in subfloor. I can use py, and
snap ties although the footing is a rough mess......not even at all. It was
roughly poured to handle 8" blocks. I suppose a person could attach a 2x4
to the rough footing and then go from there....
Either way it is a tough situation.
