Gallery What have you done in the last 8 months ?

[BrainEater]

Nope not quite yet. We've got mebbie a month left.

It's been a rollercoaster of hells thats forsure.....I look back to doing the work around Christmas @ -25c..... man , what a project.

----

@ Phobia : about 3 weeks per duplex best case , 6 weeks worst case.......There's a lotta 'On-The -Fly' fixing going on.

@Perryc/matsta : Cheap isn't a word I use ever. We've gone through probably 35 thousand dollars worth of 'bolts'....
...

I'll get some more pics here , just gotta find good ones.

Those bolts must be about 10 feet long and gold right? That's alot of money on bolts though.

For the record though, this is what I was doing within the last 8 months.....and I consider this fun :biggrin:

Nope , just several thousand 6" HILTI's.

Canadian forces ?

Listen , I'm just a steel/concrete grunt . I'm pretty sure I don't have the balls for your job.

Kudos , beers on me.

Nope , just several thousand 6" HILTI's.

How many per unit? You lifting just the house or house and foundation? Either way I imagine there is more than one or being said.

3-6 weeks a unit...thats got to be raising them millimeters at a time....I never would have guessed it would have taken that long.

Double beers on the house

The time really varies.we had one unit take 6 weeks.....50+ pilings. The easy ones take about 3 weeks.

Here's a shot of the 6 week ( more like 7 but it was -20 winter....) unit ;

So you can see the anchors I'm talking about on that bracket..We use about 200 per unit...HILTI HSL3-m12/50's...10,000 pound dynamic load concrete bolts.12 bux each.

:haha:

Nice lift there eh ?

so you fill the gap with more concrete or can you even move the house sideways?

Nope.the building is entirely supported by the steel piling assembly you see there.There is one of those every 6 feet or so.
