The 2-story wood framed house was constructed in 1920, over a crawlspace and a partial basement, located in the southwest corner, (see photo's 1& 2). The 6-inch perimeter wall is unreinforced, (see photo # 8), with no apparent footing, (see photo # 9). A portion of the north footing is 4-inch, (see photo # 3), which appears to have been an addition. The foundation has settled approximately 5-inches at the South East corner. Pressure treated wood of various dimension have been installed in an attempt to re-level the house, (see photo's 4, 5, &6). A new foundation is required, from the existing chimney on the south, to the corner of the new addition, approximately 15'-0" west of the north east corner, (see detail # 1& 2). The rest of the foundation wall is inacceptable condition. A new footing installed using "skip construction" is required. Skip construction is when you pour a new footing in (2) pours. Dig out 6'-0" of soil, skip 6" 0" of soil, dig out 6 feet of soil, and so on. Use a 16- inch footing by 8-inches thick, (min) with (2) # 4 bars continuous, located 3-inches above the soil. Install 42-inch # 4 dowels used as splice bars, driving one end 21-inches into the soil, and embedding the other half into the new concrete. Once the concrete has cured, (28 days), the remaining 6'-0" intervals may be dug out, and the remaining concrete footing placed. Install the remaining (2) # 4 bars, lapped 21-inches onto the existing # 4 dowel located 3" above the bottom of the footing. ---- -- — - ------- --- — - — --- - — - - �R�'ts�tt.t<ti �?iai#�t1 :�i�;y+r�i<3tt°:Y ",�y i t e, � v-, , y ; n ti�., )� , n �fz.�. a�� 0''1 �� rlt �. � lC �f.�.,. ��1 �z _i) i � � � . � �..: � �=7 < 3_r`.. . �'. , . ... _�; � `, s. _ .' ` . .�.�a� t�� .><?�. .
