Foundation work now COMPLETE

Foundation work is now complete thanks to Jim Peterman and No Problem Builders in Tryon, NC --we could not have done it without them. The house rested for nearly a year as we developed a plan on how best to move forward. The project was divided into three phases: foundation, wall work and interior. The house was sinking at the NE corner and without intervention, major damage was on it's way. Work began over the summer and by mid-November, the house was level with new sill plates and rim boards sitting on new brick piers. The old concrete block had been broken away and removed and for the first time the underside of the house could breath. The Eunice Waymon Birthplace is beginning to take on it's 1933 appearence. Much work still needs to be done, but the foundation is secure, the floor is level and the house is safe. Please view "Restoration Efforts" to see more photos and read about the lifting and leveling process.
