    That's what happens when you hire Ricky to elevate a house.

    So, to clarify, the contractor didn't know what he was doing and didn't take proper precautions for the soil, weather, or structural integrity - this is what happens when anyone can buy equipment and call himself a home-mover.

    The problem was using guys that have no idea what they were doing. I have been doing this in Australia for 30+ years now and have never lost one yet.

      Ohhh then you are an perfect being never meet with accident cause your too perfect to do mistakes or accident by yourself and everyone complained about their rivals specially who are in the same buisiness '
      Like we never did that 'ever done like this 'this is bad 'we're perfectly good geniuses god like saints ...we know that very well and people's learn from mistakes' the one who never done any mistake probably doesn't know which angle can cause accidents 'mistakes or problems he'll keep doing till one day when he will meet with a bad luck accident or unknowingly doing some mistakes then he'll be backwards from the one who already done mistakes in the past

    Any good contractor or supervisor knows when to proceed. Common sense tells anyone other than this supervisor that you don't jack a house when the ground is wet or unstable. He found excuses why if fell other than himself. Donald Trump would have said, you're Fired. He lacks experience.

      I can not explain all the particulars in a simple paragraph or two. I am retired now, but could send you some still shots, possibly an old video. Remember this, house moving is 'generational knowledge and skills' business passed down from family to family (my family had been in the business three generations). I learned by watching and doing all the 'grunt' work in the beginning. Much like well drilling, you learn by working for someone or being 'born' into a house moving or 'well drilling family'. There are no schools for either as far as I know. If you make a mistake, it could cost your life or someone else's. I don't think I want to put myself in the position of being a 'house moving' instructor. If you do decide to attempt it, I can however answer individual questions as they arrive.....Gary

    @Joshua79C Před 6 lety +1

    wet or dry ground, best bet is to lay down a leveled oversize pad to place the said cribbing on and also help to have done a structural inspection prior to lift to look for certain damage that would lead to such disaster, This is why I abhor the use of the word Expert so profusely as no one is a expert, its Experience that matters. That said if this is his first time, then really hope he learned a few lessons, oversize pad and bracing of the cribs are two things I saw they were lacking on top of this no apparent pre-lift structural inspection or repair of or even bracing in the home to prevent failure.
