Great information can you give me an idea how much that cost? Looking at having to do this for my house
Thanks man, thank you Jesus
Powebraces every 5 feet is the solution.
Awesome demonstration.
I'm subscribing to your channel. Although I live in Houston, I've been taking care of my deceased parents house in Rockford, Il. I just completed a bathroom remodeling. Came out pretty good.
If someone put drywall over an issue like this and sold the house without saying anything, can they be liable? Asking for a client
P.s.
They wrote their name and the date when work was performed on the block wall itself (which was approx. A year b4 they sold it)
Can you tell me how to ask for these particular beams when ordering from a steel supplier? When I called the supplier before, they asked me about certain type and measurements and I had no idea what to tell them. I can tell them how long, deep, and wide. But they want more info than that, and they wouldn't offer any suggestions for my particular situation. Great video btw. Thank you!
Never buy a home with a block foundation.
Can you Anchor into the floor if there is tile drain concreted along the wall ? Thinking it wouldn't be thick enough to support this
Very interesting video thank you for sharing the knowledge
