Project Background
Project Goals
Solution: The foundation of existing central fireplace is made out of dry laid stone. To stabilize the foundation prior to machine excavation the foundation was hand excavated and a concrete collar poured around the base.

Solution: With the limited space all materials excavated were required to be trucked to a lower staging area on the job site to provide for as much working area as possible adjacent to the home.
