  • Well it was maybe 200 loads or so, the pile wasn’t super far.from the site… We lifted and redid the foundation of a small log cabin near a lake, too close to the lake and it had started to sink. So basically we lifted the cottage, removed the old floor, and we installed cinder blocks and gravel under the walls before putting humidity barriers and reinstalling a new floor.

    The gravel was delivered in the driveway, and I had to wheel the wheelbarrow around the cottage to the entrance of the worksite to empty it in the empty space under the floor, then I would spread it where the cinder blocks go, and then gradually after everything was laid properly, we lowered the Jacks very slowly until the bottom logs of the log cabin rested on a steel angle resting on the cinder blocks.

    The whole thing basically took the whole summer but most of it I was doing by myself, including redoing the new plywood floor afterwards…

    This shit takes me back, omg… Here’s an image for fun
