The walls that are supporting the posts are starting to tilt, unfortunatly the people who built it thought if they made the base wider than the wall size it woulld support it. I would imagine frost has gotten under that large base and pushed up on one side. You can see the lean in the wall on the left hand side of pic.
My plan is to replace the posts before winter hits (rot is taking it’s toll)and I wanted to reface the wallls in stone but need to cure the lean first.
I am thinking if I dug under each end of the wall (below frost) and pour a sono tube full of concrete to rest the wall on I won’t have to tear it all out and start over.
Any thoughts of how I should fix this without removing those biggish cement walls?
Thanks
Don
