Hi,
I am new here for the most part, need input on a house lift. I have gutted the whole house out but the stick framing, no floors just interior walls side walls floor joists. I know the roof , trusses and all will need to be replaced after that said and done the foundation is shot its a crawl and wasnt done correctly. i plan on doing full basement . i have done alot of research on material pricing i have done alot 20 years of diy but house lifting, this is gray to me.
House specs rounded up to foot:
48ft long by 25 ft wide
Questions I have:
1. cribbing I plan on using 4x4 timber with 3 pieces in each row, will this be enough support?
I am running a cribbing pier in each corner 4ft out from corner and 3 more separated equally along the center from left to right of the 24 foot width 4 foot off the sides of the house. 7 total
2. I have seen alot of youtube and diy videos where i see i beam since the house is gutted will i need anything this heavy duty ?
Any other input would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
