Hi everyone. It has been awhile.
My wife and I just purchased a 1200 Sqft house (cabin) "L" shaped. It has been added onto twice since the original small structure was built along time ago.
The problem is that it is on piers above ground, with only 8-12" of clearance below to access the pumbing and other systems.
We would like to raise it 18-24" so I can slither underneath and re plumb and have access to insulate etc.
As a inveterate DIYer, I chafe against hiring "Porfessional" help unless I have to as a last resort.
If you were going tackle this, how would you go about it.
Here are views of the cabin...
I can dig around the base with my bobcat to get down and get better access, but right now there is no point until I have a plan of action.
Thanks for any help.
