Hi guys. New here. Building a house and when my frost wall was poured sand kept collapsing causing the need for osb plus backfill while pouring. This caused somewhat of a V shape shown in this lovely cross section I drew. They recently installed the walkout blocks and for about 8’ the blocks sit on or near the edge of the footing. (42” not 48”) I also have a beam that will be sitting on the walkout wall. Should I be concerned with the structure? Soil is sandy gravel. Thanks!
