Re: My Facetruck thread.
Looking back, It never occurred to me I couldn't do it. I don't know if I was confident or stupid. (Other Larry)
A friend told me that I was brave when I jacked my house up to replace the basement. I told him, “There’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity and l probably crossed it”.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I was impressed when you showed this when you did it. I bet you kept lookin' and thinkin' it through and just went for it, no matter what the nay-sayers said. I mean, this is what house movers do, right? Only they have to move the house.

I've cribbed up some machinery in my time, but never that high.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
How did you get the old basement material out of there?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I'm thinking about the thread he started, "How many of you have a skid loader?". I bet he borried or rented one. You know like the rest of us contractors, demo is a lot of work to get to that clean slate.
If I'm here long enough, I'm going to move my 13' x 20' pole barn over 3' to get it away from the monster Maple tree wanting to destroy it. Boy those things grow a lot in 33 years! People are telling me, "That's going to be a lot of work", as if to discourage me. It's just a big box. I'll brace across the bottom and diagonally. Just a matter of cutting the posts flush, cutting 3' of slab, and adding 3' (after new pier footers). The hardest part will be moving everything out and finding a place for it while I do this. There is an upper floor that is full of things as well.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Here’s how it went: slid 3 l-beams in from the side to support the center of the house, excavator used his JD555 with a bucket to remove the floor (leaving 2’ around the perimeter) and the center block wall, removed the small beams and rolled in the long 2’ tall beams, cribbed those up and with the help of some friends raised the house 2’, then my excavator brought in his T300 and his mini to remove the walls. I used ICF’s for the new walls. If the old floor looks like 2 different levels, the upper level was a storage area

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Do the ICF's bear on a concrete footer. I have never worked with them. And I don't know what kind of bearing soil you have.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
The insulated concrete forms are 2 1/4” thick foam inside and out with a 8” gap in between. Yes, they sit on the footer just like regular forms, you just don’t have to remove them

Re: My Facetruck thread.
That was so interesting I think it killed the thread . I can't scroll past that and not want to keep talking about it. I've been working on my place this week and nothing is worth mentioning in comparison. I just replaced two outside corner boards... that's FOUR pieces total!!… below where I just replaced the roof on the laundry room/bathroom. I used Azek. I had them made up and painted already. All the corner boards & facia have a 3/8" bead, window & door trim has 1/8". I also ran the plumbing vent up through the walls and out the attic. And I mounted a light box over the shower and wired it up. It feels good getting some of the "things needing done" done.
Inside I'm going over the common room at the top of the steps. Painted the ceiling, paneling, and trim. That including changing the door trim around some. I have new reproduction thumb latches for the doors (3) to get them in good working order. The kids were hard on those "not so modern" door latches. Two walls are exposed log. I never put the finish on the front wall or the side wall in that corner. I should be done this week in that room. Then it's move downstairs. I did this place over quite a while ago. Some things were rushed, left finished enough, or I just don't like how I did them. Those are the things I've been looking at for years and can't help thinking I want to change them. I'd tell myself "bigger fish to fry" and "not a priority, at least it's done". Now it's been long enough combined with thoughts of selling, and I'm motivated to get it all right and ship shape. It feels good, keeping me busy, and even if I stay a while longer I'm liking being here all the more. It's like making it mine again.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I'm mime p-p-pretty mm-much st-staying hom-ome all w-week p-p-p putzin' with the-the-the p-p-place. Taking advantage of the weather and having the holidays as an excuse not to start anything up yet. Funny, I do have a plumber friend who backed into a gutter on the front of a resident's garage on Monday he wants me to replace on Friday. The funny thing is Rick speaks with a pretty bad sputter. His w-w-ork fl-flows b-better tha tha than his w-words

Re: My Facetruck thread.
HAHA. One of my childhood friend's dad stuttered real bad. It was painful listening to him try to talk. Super nice man. But when he got mad they said he talked straight as an arrow and didn't miss a beat.

I thought the Vette station wagon was a stretch but this..

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I must say they dredged that article together with not much more than mud and snails, didn't come up with much. What does the 40 year old proto-type 4dr Vette have to do with a new Ford Mustang (the two cars have never been comparable) that is an SUV that is electric? The only ties I see are they both have four wheels. Are these new Mustangs that aren't Mustangs going to be red on red? What a lame article. A waste of words

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I don't know what the world is coming to. I had to work two days this week. I didn't like it any better than I did when I worked every day.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
You have to watch what you say on Facetruck about your job. Bosses are known for checking employee accounts and firing them for saying the wrong thing.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Remember Tim, I quit and they came into my happy place and recruited me. It's too wet to haul now, and I have suggested they use this time to find a loader operator.
Kingsolver, I don't envy the crew we have in Northwest Arkansas. They are digging a 16x16X27 foot deep hole. It has to be shored of course, but 27' is a long way when your looking up out of a hole. I'll try to get pictures of that one. Tigger, I ain't smart at all. I am just so lazy, I figure out how to get out of work. My observation is, restoring trucks is a lot easier than remodeling houses.

No, they were working on the Valley Springs School project, and trying to beat the weather and short on help, so I agreed to help.
