Cinder block in my part of the woods comes in 16" and 8" wide blocks. The
16" version is essentially two 8" blocks combined. Other than width,
remainder dimensions are approximately 8"X8" for both blocks.
Since am unaquainted with 12" cinder block, I cannot know the cavity
dimensions or if there is more than one cavity and in standard 16" wide
cinder block. Fill me in.
