   to backfill under the house, we built a chute and dumped the sandy gravel ... then pulled it laterally behind the wall

   hmmm - that puckered face sure looks familiar - wait - it's Cadioli in disguise, right?

   Hey, umm, Mikey/Markyy - you call those wood shims shoring? ;-)Woe to the cook whose sauce has no sting- Chaucer

   Bob.... the pre-cast steps, the Bilco Door & the installation goes for $825 plus tax.. others quoted $900... but they've been about that price for 10 years or so..

   so.. with our lack of specialization.. we have trouble  just buying and installing the bilco for that

   Wolvie... those are 2x6 boxes nailed up round-robin.. and the screw-jack weighs about 60 lb.

   that's residential shoring ..not the big stuff you're working with

   BTW.. that post last night had both my email address in it.. but it got deleted..

   i'll try it again..

   couldn't find your email addy on this machine since the big cox conversion..

   here at the office it's mfsmith1ATcox.net   & home it's xmfsmithATcox.net

   apparently if i post my email addressin a normal fashion, it gets deleted by some editing process

   the office one is working fine   the one at home i get some messages but nothing goes out
