frost protected shallow foundation

[Alexis Marcil]

Hello, am I the only one to think that the image representing a fpsf in the attic and interior inspection course is not accurate? The image doesn't seem to represent a fpsf... no wing insulation and I've never heard of a fpsf built of cmu?

I just looked at the drawing you are talking about and while it is not a build to drawing it does capture the essence of what a fpsf is suppose to be [an insulated foundation]. Yeah, its missing a footing and wing insulation. I did a brief google search for CMU's in a fpsf and did in fact find a least one actual under construction image using them in the wall.
