These guys made sure that the top of the block were perfectly level
Notice that there is a concrete footer under where the brick steps and ac pad will be placed.....We don't like to see the brick steps pulling away from the house..... Look at most homes build and you will see a crack at the top step to the house.....That is because most builders want to pour a 4" sidewalk and then pile all of the brick steps on it.....It doesn't hold
Looking good....All of the pier blocks were set with a laser transit......We did not need any shims to place under the drop girders because they were exactly the height they needed to be.....The girders are setting on full bearing on the block and not on shim shingles
Now we have a nice clean crawl space we 3" of gravel....Time to pour the garage floor and elevated porch slabs
