Raising Camp Dularge Step 3
Okay, we can’t go by “days” any more because I have lost track and they are not working on the house day by day.
Step 3 included pouring cement into the holes to set the pilings . . .
like this.
This is how the pilings on the back patio look now.
And now I have this new pile of dirt that I am going to use to my advantage to help level out the yard.
As they say, “Things sometimes have to get worse before they get better. ”
And right now things are worse. But I know they are going to get better!
Coming next . . . . Holiday baking!
What a process! But I have to confess, I am quite fascinated by it all. It’s something I’ve not seen before, so I feel like I am in the midst of one of those “how-to” dvds or perhaps even a “Elevating Houses for Dummies” series! 🙂
House Elevation for Dummies!!! That will be the name of the post I have been mulling over in my mind for days now!!! Thanks!
What do people who can’t climb so many stairs do? Seems like it could be difficult for elderly people to elevate their houses like that.
Well, Sue, I have been mulling over the idea of a more informative post about the homes around here that are already raised up along with photos to help explain even better; and your question just confirms my desire and need to do so!!
