Getting ready to make our 2270 mile trip down to Covington, Louisiana (one way) to do some repairs on a rental home we have down there....hopefully my wife and I will be able to hook up with a fellow 914 owner that lives in New Orleans (John Lambert who owns the infamous "different" color grey door car)
My @ss is getting sore just thinking about the drive and then the work that must be done......well be replacing the floors along with I'm sure a few floor joists and seals, I bought an aluminum jack since I know I'll be under the house jacking it up...oh joy... Last trip down there we did spot one 914 in Sidell, didn't get a chance to talk to him however, maybe this trip I'll be more lucky... anyways, no internet access (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

If your lifting the house pick up a couple 20 ton bottle jacks. I used 3 of them to lift the farm house almost 30" last year. That and a railroad boxcar jack and 2 short teleposts. I used 6' lenghts of 2" X 2" steel tubing to cross brace the joists and a pile of heavy timber as bracing. Replaced floor joists, sill plates and wall studs to make it level again. Too bad your not doing this in March, I'm off work then and could use a warm climate road trip.
The airnailer I bought for that little project came in very handy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Good luck and have a safe trip. |
