Okay, I'm just daydreaming here, but I was wondering if anyone has a rough
idea of what it costs to jack up a house that is approximately 25 feet by
40
feet.

Here's the daydreaming part -- I was wondering about the possibility of
jacking up a house to add enough more rows of cinder block to the
foundation
as a way of changing a 4-foot high crawl space to an actual basement. The
crawl space already has a concrete floor. The idea would be to change
what
is now a ranch style home into raised ranch style home, and create a whole
new basement level usable area.

I was thinking about something similar with another home I own, but that
one
already has a basement and it seems like it would cost les to have the
basement dug out a foot or so than to jack up the whole house by a foot.


This is Turtle.

There is a fellow here in Town that does it by the Hour. He has all the
tools and a 3 man crew. he gets $65.00 a hour and does what every you want +
Material. He can do most anything you want in 1 or 2 days + Materials. We do
live in a lower cost of living area of the country.
