The guys start early to get prepped for the second and final big pour. There is snow on the mountains this morning and near freezing temperatures at night.
These supports will help with earthquake protection and support our old foundation where the cement is deteriorating leaving just rock and rubble. Apparently, cement takes about 60 years to reach it's hardest and then begins to crumble. The old cement has been there for 120 years, so it is the rock facing that is our only support.
The 15 pillars under our existing house will be tied into the house and old foundation giving us lateral and vertical support.
