Trying to figure out the best procedure for filling an 8" diameter hole
in my poured foundation that goes clear through to the outside. It also
goes throught the brick. Any help much appriciated.


Filling it with masonry seems to be the best as far as compatible materials,
but before you do, think about the future. Will you ever have need to run
wires, vents, or anything else to the outside? If so, you may want to take
a more temporary approach.

On the outside, I'd use brick and mortar to match the existing brick as
close as possible. . Once sealed, you can even fill the rest of the void
with expanding foam spray. That would make it easier if you ever wanted to
add a vent for a high efficiency heater or power to an outbuilding. If you
want solid, build it up with some stone and cement mix, probably in a couple
of steps, unless there is a way of attaching a board to act as a form and
hold everything in place.
