We gave this old house a new life. This is what we started with
Here is the house jacked up and the old foundation removed
And this is the finished product.
Not bad for a house built in the 1800's
Beach house with a view: This is building that we completed this summer. The crawlspace had been flooded, so the owners wanted to raise up the house and get it out of the flood zone. They also gained anouther level of living space.
This is a foot higher than what we started with.
This is the finished height , we raised the building up almost 10'.
Shown here , we are putting in a permanent steel beam that will clearspan the lower level, thus giving the owners a wide open room without any columns.
Once the beams were in place , we could start fabricating the supports and cross brackets to tie it all together.
