Ron:
What kind of waterproofing issues arise with untooled joints?
RE: ACI-530.1 3.3 B.
i think of it like poking holes in flashing...is it highly likely that the inside will flood from this? no. but is it possible that problems could arise? absolutely. it's simply much easier to follow aci, tool the joints, and do all the other things that are recommended/required.
