jack post
Hi everyone,
I would like to install a few jack posts in my basement. Installation seams pretty straight forward except I am not sure how to built an "engineered base" for the jack post to go on. I was wondering if anyone could let me if this can me done by myself or does it have to be professional made. Thanks Carl, http://www.geocities.com/billbobbarama/ |

Let dry I've seen the sitting on a concrete block also. As long as the base is solid and does not sink, it will support the post. You want to go about 12" to 18" deep. |
