First, playing catch up here... The pool is (mostly) down, and the dumpster has arrived. I'm working to try to get rid of the rest of that pool...
Today, we put in footings for resupporting the basement and building a new front porch. Took a while to get the holes dug, but we got there. In all, there are 5 footings in the basement and four for the new porch. We went about 3.5 feet deep for the porch, and about 2 feet in the basement.
Finally, we poured the cement for the footings. In the basement, we just poured it directly in the hole - the objective being to create a solid base for the support columns. In the front, we used tubes to create the footings, 10" diameter and about 3.5 feet high.
Next week, weather permitting, we will add the supports in the basement and rebuild the front porch.
