Best way to repair garage foundation?
I purchased our house 2 years ago, along with it came a garage with a failing foundation. It looks like it was built with just cinder blocks, however over the years the blocks have settled. I’m wondering what would be a cheap but effective way to restore it and make it safer to use. Attached photos show its current state, my current guess would be to somehow jack up each supporting post, level or replace the cinder block, and slowly move around the building, finishing with filling the gaps in between with bricks. Just not sure the best way to lift or execute this. I’d love to eventually pour concrete for the garage floor but that might take some time to save up for. Any advice would be appreciated! submitted by /u/puppetierz [link] [comments]
