blocked






Once the sills were level, each corner and nibbed scarf joint needed to be blocked and braced.  More stones were removed to allow for bigger supports.  Old stone piers were rebuilt to be more stable.  Chunks of the pines from the back yard along with cinder blocks were used as bases for supports.  Now an tigin gets to rest for a bit to let it resettle.  We may need to make some adjustments to keep it level.

    1. It was a bit hair-raising, but it feels good to be at this stage. We will definitely be improving the foundation!
