Hey, guys. We're getting ready to do a project where we're raising a house that was out of level to begin with, and then they put blocks around it. And then put an addition for it. But we're going to try to raise it to center. And we've got blocks here already. Blocks and cap blocks. These would be cap blocks 4” thick 8” wide, 60 inches long. They go on top or the bottom solid. We have 20 ton jacked. We have 4x4s where oak wedges, other... got lights, headlamps, coveralls, gloves so that we don't get as dirty. There's a lot of hustle, a lot of dirty hard work, and it's no fun. But it does have some responsibility to us, some skill, a lot of skill.

So I'll try to take you with me as we go underneath this house and see what we can do to make people's lives better. So come along with me on this great adventure down the rathole.

Hey, we're underneath here. It's quite interesting. You can see what's, animals what's coming in here and pulling down the insulation. That would be this insulation here.

And if you followed me before, you've seen it before, you'll see some of over work. And that's why you don't want to let animals get underneath your house because they are trying to take care of themselves in the cold weather. Also, you want to be careful when you walk in, when you're crawling underneath here, you wouldn’t be walking because this is not a free line.

If it was, you were still and I want to pinch it. This is a gas line, propane line. So you don't want to bend that pinch it and then have a problem and scramble up, turn the gas on, or we're using these magnetic lights that we got from Harbor Freight that are adjustable. Kind of neat. It’s the first time I've used them, I've used a lot of different other magnetic, but these were pretty good, too.

So what we're doing now, setting up the water level and what I'm gonna probably do is put a 2 by here and then bring the reservoir up to the level of that frame, which I'll do with the other part of the level. First thing we've got to do is pour water in there and get all the air bubbles out, and then we'll bring the one level and tuck it up in here and we'll see where we're at as far as on the frame.

So by the way, there's a jack that somebody else left down here for I don’t know how long. And that's a good example of what will happen to the cylinder. If you see if you leave it up, it will rust like that. I don't know if it's that bad, but that then will tear up the rubber gasket. It keeps oil from spilling out.

So you don't want to leave your jack up? We definitely don't want to leave Jack underneath the house like that. And maybe there's something wrong with. I don't know, but here we go. We'll take you along with us.
