Template For Pre-Cast Footings
After determining the proper spacing for where our team needed to start digging their holes for our pre-cast footings they created a template for where they needed to work.
Starting On Area One
Once our team set up their lights and completed their templates they started digging down to the proper depth to lay our pre-cast footings for our SmartJack systems
Digging Three Holes
Each of our team members working on their individual holes for our pre-cast footings
Truing Our Holes
Once our holes were dug to the proper depth we then made sure that everything was even and square before laying our pre-cast footings.
Starting To Unload Our Pre-Cast Footings
Once all the demolition work was completed for our pre-cast footings we then started to unload them from the dump truck and lowered them into the crawl space.
Team Work Makes The Dream Work

That's A Lot Of Wood
Once our support systems were in place we were able to start cutting our wood to sister all the floor joists.
Cutting Once
After measuring to the proper length several times we then cut the wood to the proper length and lowered it down into the crawl space.
Releasing Pressure
In order for us to get our wood up into the areas that we needed to in order to sister all the floor joists we lifted the floor strategically with the help of bottle jacks.
Starting To Sister The Floor Joists
Once the floor was lifted just enough we started inserting our new wood to sister the floor joists.
Wood In Place
After getting the wood up and over our new supports we then started to fit them into their proper space.
Snugging The Floor Joists Up
In order to sister the floor joists properly we had to hammer them into place against the old floor joists before lowering the floor back onto our steel i-beam and fully tightening our SmartJacks.
Starting On The Center Of Area Number Two
Once all the other areas were completed we turned our attention to the center part of area number two. We started by installing several SmartJacks with steel I-Beams
Our New Supports Holding Up The Floor
How the center of area number two looked after we had removed the old main girder.
Starting To Lift Our Triple 2x6 Main Girder Into Place
After removing the old main girder we then started positioning to install our new triple main girder.
Lots Of Heart
Due to the weight of the new main girder our team struggled a bit getting it into place, but as always due to their heart and dedication they go it done.
Setting Up Our SmartJacks Underneath The Main Girder
After getting part of our new main girder in place we were able to start our SmartJack support system, which would be holding it in place.

Tightening Everything Up

Building Our Form
Before pouring our new wall in area number one we created a form which would make sure that no concrete would spill out.
Adding Screws To Our Form
Adding blocks to our form in order to make sure that noting will spill out during the creation of our new wall
