Got Some (14) New Piers!!

After some serious dirt removal and drilling and a LATE JUNE rain storm in the SF bay area (when was the last time this happened?)we are 14 piers richer, think the appraisers would appreciate those as much as we do??

Never underestimate the power of a portable drill rig for tight hillside construction!


3 work days later, 8 12" diameter 8' deep deck piers and 6 18"dia 12' deep perimeter piers are ready for rebar and concrete!


Big Pour!! (4.5 hr)


And some new foundation for lower level too


Guess which one is concerned about the pour?
