Lol no one answered it so I figured it out elsewhere.  I wasn't satisfied with the adhesion of my mortar.  I am solving the problem by fulling grouting all of the cells, and possibly applying surface bonding cement afterwards.  I'm required to grout my CMU anyway since it is 6 inch.

FWIW I think I was just ignorant about the properties of mortar.  I examined another wall built by someone else and it had pretty similar properties, I guess I was thinking a block wall magically was strong before it's grouted.  It seems without any other reinforcement block walls aren't good for much except in compression.

Doing this will make your house more stuffy and mold will appear on the pieces of wood. This will cause your wood to rot faster

The shed and gable dormer framing options are actually in the booklet (on page 11) just under the Rafter Framing detail. 

Best to ya and wishing you all the best on the new project!
