Project update 5/10/15

We started digging today so that we can build a new support column for the new beam that will replace the one you see in the first photo.

this will be the location of the new support column (built from 8x8x16 cement blocks and re-enforced with re-bar) and the base depth will also serve as a guide for digging the new footers at the perimeter of the foundation walls.

we will use the laser level to mark a line around the foundation wall and dig down 40" this will ensure that we maintain the same grade all the way around.
