Foundation reinfocement
Bruss is gearing up to replace the sill on the west side of the building. The foundation needs to be reinforced and built out before doing any sill work. The foundation & structure has shifted over the years.
This is the still right now. It extends past the foundation.
It actually has rolled a bit. The weight of the building is resting where there is not much support from the foundation.
This is what Bruss Construction has done / is going to do...
Drill holes into existing foundation & insert rebar. (done)
Add rebar horizontally and vertically. (done)
Build forms. (done)
Pour concrete. (in progress)
Remove forms. (Monday)
Don't worry about the foundation extending out so far. It looks silly now but once the wall it built out with rigid foam & everything, it will extend past the concrete. No worries.
Replace sill. (next week)
