boy if i could even spell Electroscopeawhaty, heres a little project we just finished, we put a basement wall under a house, this house is in Gunlock, it had gotten hit by floodwaters a few times, so they decided to raise it up a few feet so that the water would not get inside again, the first picture is us getting the footings ready after they jacked up the house.
this picture is under the house after the forms were set up
here it is from the outside with the forms setup and pouring the blue part is the concrete pump reaching over the house to place the concrete on the back side. we poured the walls 10' tall.

Holy Crap! Were you scared to walk under that. I think I would've stayed as far away from that as I could. But then again that is why I am not a kunstrukshun worker and you are!
AND you failed to mention that you get to see the sky in your job. Where those Lincoln logs or Jenga blocks holding that house in the air? Dang impressive stuff... Any idea how much a whole house weighs?
oh and by the way is it going to look like that when they are done... cause i think i would stick with getiing flooded every time... jk that is totally awesome and i respect you for that... but not so much the homeowners designer :)
I didn't even know that they could do that. Wow, I am with bree though and would have been scared to work under a house that is sitting on towers.
