Well here's what I did today....





The yellow lines are where the BOTTOM of the foundation is , on the front wall of this 1908 building. Underneath the yellow line is just packed clay. Every time it rains, water seeps through the cracks around the front porch and sidewalk seams, and washes the clay out from under the foundation. SO, the front right corner (from the inside) of the two story building is slowly sinking and soon the building will topple.

So, I spent about 3-4 hours today building forms for a retaining wall, which will prevent the clay from habving any where to go. It will now have to stay under the foundation where it belongs.

10 years ago the landlord paid some one to put in a french drain (at the bottom of the two rows of cinder block) on the wrong side (the inside) of the front cellar wall, four feet below the problem...so the clay under the foundation still crumbles out, every time it rains. Anyways, this is the solution, other than doing it the right way (jacking up the whole house and just pouring concrete under the bottom of the existing foundation), which he can't afford.






/e Tomorrow I will pour the concrete.



/ee Although it's hard to tell in the picture, the cellar floor is concrete already. After this dries for a month or so, I intend to pour a 4" thick "cap" on the retaining wall, so it it connects back to the actual foundation. When done it will look like a 16" wide shelf on top of the retaining wall. That's why the rebar is sticking up above the forms. It will be bent at a 90 degree angle back towards the original foundation...to keep the "cap" rigid. On a side note the retaining wall is four feet long at the front and 6 foot long down the side. It will be one solid L shaped piece.

/eee The 5 vertical 2 x 4's are just braces for the the particle board forms. They will ofc be gone when this is done. I will post other pics as this progresses.







/eeee The forms are only 24" high. There was no need to rip out the cinder block and french drain. The rebar goes 8' down into the gravel over the french drain and extends 14" up above the forms, for the "cap" to be poured later. The forms are level and plumb, the braces are just where ever I could screw onto the joist in the ceiling of the cellar.

Lastly, the short side of the L shaped form will be back filled with clay that has already fallen out from under the foundation...after the forms are removed. It will be tamped ofc.

@ghot, i wish i had that construction knowledge. Lots of cool things i want to build but no time for fuxkery.

Teeth are out of my skull. The oral surgeon only hires pretty young girlsm girls that would likely be models. All very knowledgable though and super sweet. They cut those fuckers out of my head and im sooo happy. The pain was nonexistant until about 20 minutes ago. The local anisthetic lasted about 5 hours. He gave me a prescription for norco 7.5-325mg so im not feeling too bad. Still figuring out what im going to eat for dinner.
