I have laid three blocks hig on my 26x32 garage slab, some say I should fill them and others say no I should not. If i do not fill them how do you anchor your sill plate?

Code requires that your J-bolts or approved foundation straps must be set into grout in the block web usually to a depth of at least 7 inches.

These bolts or straps are used to fasten the sill plate to the foundation.

Only the webs containing the bolts/straps need to be grouted.
