You can do it. It's tough, but if you go slow and read up on it before you get started you can definitely get it done

I bought a 122yr old house and it needs piers underneath. Pier and beam foundation. Was that just a regular footer for like a porch?
@Jay_Schmidt3 жыл бұрын
Yeah. Since I was going in between two existing piers (about 6 foot apart) I didn't do anything except dig down to compact earth and put in a precast footer. It has been way better since putting it in, and it hasn't shifted since. While not the most official way to support a beam, it's better than leaving the load of the wall above unsupported.

Sorry to hear about the injury. I was wondering what happen. Speedy recovery my friend! Working in that space was probably a ton of fun. :)

Yeah, unfortunately work is going to slow down for a while now. I'm still going to see if I can get some smaller things finished around here while I rest my shoulder. I think the spiders under the house were probably getting used to me being around.

I need to do the same damn thing with my house. Is yours on a full pier foundation or is there block on the perimeter?
@Jay_Schmidt3 жыл бұрын
There is a shallow footer around the perimeter on mine. It's really not much of a foot, but better than nothing I suppose.

Everything I used under the house was treated 👍🏻

The dust under the house is very fine. All that crawling kicks up a ton of dust that gives an annoying cough
