Project Basement - Level in Ballard cont'd

Just a better shot of the jack & the sizable nature of the beam. The other thing I forgot to mention is that Mike decided to support the weight of the house on top of the new foundation as opposed to using the spaced pier pads. The logic is that we now have a very, very strong foundation (14-16" of it depending where you're standing) and there's no reason to stress the floor, even with 10" concrete pads. Mike mentioned he was still a bit concerned with cracking the pads, and that this approach would solve that challenge.
