Hello,I am putting a foundation under a house. I want to pour a footing directly in the ground. So will have a hole under a beam and if I were to build a 2foot hi shear wall and hang it from the beam with anchor bolts hanging into the hole and then pour my mud up to the bottom of the plate would that be a good wall. In other words it will not be built under load by cutting studs tight between two hard surfaces but will be in a neutral load until I pull the surrounding cribs out. Will this be an acceptable bearing wall. It sure would be easier for me. TonyG
