Dear Pat and Egon ( [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] sorry, couldn't resist [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ). Hi all - The foundation (stone and concrete) under my garage wall is crumbling and becoming very unstable. The outer wall is not plumb straight - it is plumb out of whack . I thought I could put floor jacks on the inside of the wall to brace things up while I tried to come up with a repair solution, but the only jacks I have found are only 8 feet high. This spring, a chunk of foundation (in the corner) fell out. Would it be reasonable to put a floor jack in that corner as a temporary support, and put another at the front of that wall? Although the garage is attached to the house, it has its own foundation all the way around except for the front, which has a door. My brothers planned to put the floorjacks on the inside of the wall, dig out the old foundation and wall, and rebuild it all. But I only have one brother now, and he isn't too keen to take this on. Does anyone have a suggestions? Or is more information needed? Or is this probably impossible for a do-it-yourself project? My son and his friends are willing to provide muscle and sweat, but I sure need a plan first. The house (full basement) was built about 1910, with the backroom (crawlspace) and garage (groundlevel) added at some later point. All hooked together, and ready to fall like dominos! Any suggestions would be welcome.
