Ever seen a house on stilts? Mine was!

Hi all

Time for a house update. NO I didn't tear my house down and build a duplex. It became too expensive a project to complete by myself. So . . . I dug up the basement of the old one (with my bare hands, yeah right, LOL) and put in a new foundation.

Now, on a house built in 1918 this is a sneaky trick, especially if the garage is attached and you can't lift the house or it will rip off the garage roof. This is how it was done:



So that was April. It is all mostly done now except for some landscaping. Wow, what a project. For those of you that have ever renovated you know what I'm talking about.
