Redneck slabjacking a leaning garage

We try to get a few more years out of this poor garage and get the doors to close properly....

Derek: You want to go ahead and use the machine? Tim: Not when we've got child labor.

Lol

Strong work. Definitely added some years to that garage. Shocked when it started moving so much. If you had a real thick piece of 4x4 angleiron about 2' long it would have helped distribute the load better and avoid the cracking. Absolutely in the "well let's give it a shot and see what happens" line of things

[@TimMcArdle]

It did. Yeah I've used angle iron to undermine existing block walls as well and it does work well!

[@patricksmith9339]

Nice. Gotta do mine soon.

I got a similar with an out building, but caused by age and drainage. May need to try this myself. The only thing I see here is those weights need to be evenly distributed or your have that floor sinking again ;)

That’s quite a project. Fine job.

[@vtwinsideways]

Need a Sawzall for those roots.

[@StevenCasper]

[@Anthony-gy9ze]

More then a few years I’m sure

[@doloresmclaughlin7329]

Awesome

How did they prop up the foundation where the jack was removed?

[@TimMcArdle]

We drove the bricks and wood in there before filling with concrete around them. Old video but it's still holding up.

Thanks for the reply 👍
