Duck Pond Redneckery


You still would of had to wait 14 days before you tighten the nuts.
How long til I can remove the form and throw a piece of treated 2x10 over it and set the wall back down? I can pin it down to the older concrete and just skip the studs in the middle for now.

Couldn't tell in the picture how wide is the part where the 2x10 will be sitting on and how much weight

66" long, 8" wide, 4-1/2" deep
The 2x10 will be cut down on the table saw to make it exactly 8" wide. But it will be longer than the new section of concrete.
There ya go @Duck all ya got to do for the next 28 days is watch it while it cures.;)
That's gonna take a LOT of beer! 😳

Minimum 7 days more depending on the weight. If the weight is being supported at least 50% on pld work you should be fine

I really don't think it's a whole lot of weight because there's nothing upstairs in the loft within 20 feet of that wall. The roof weight is all on the east & west walls.

I'm thinking less than 1000 lbs spread across those 4 studs.

I didn't use a bottle jack to lift it up. I just cranked the jack post tight, then gave it two more full turns by tapping on the crank with a hammer. As soon as I was able to wiggle the bottom of the wall, I stopped.

I would do it as long as the support is strong enough not to sag then I can't see a problem
