Day 1: Emergency Foundation Repair

What happens here

A large 6x6 timber is attached to the truck's hitch receiver, extending horizontally to span several blocks of the garage wall. With a worker carefully monitoring the wall's movement and guiding the driver, the truck gently backs up, pushing the timber against the wall. The goal is to move the bowed sections of the wall back into alignment. This is done in several stages, moving the timber along the wall and applying gentle, controlled pressure to gradually push it back evenly. They observe the wall moving and adjust the position of the timber to target different sections.

Goal: Gently push the bowed garage wall back into vertical alignment using a truck and timber.

Tools and materials

  • 6x6 Timber — Distributing the pushing force against the wall
  • Dodge Ram Pickup Truck Dodge Ram — Providing the pushing force for the wall
  • Hitch Receiver Mount — Securing the timber to the truck's hitch

not this way we can't push on the hollow blocks we'll just bust our way through the wall so we're gonna use a six by six and what we're going to do is go from core fill to core fill that means that there's sections of this wall that are reinforced with concrete and we're gonna catch the wall on those sections and gently push it in with a Dodge truck it's moving we don't want to push the wall in all at once in any one area we want to hopscotch back and forth up and down the wall going from quarter field of chlorophyll to gently push it in as evenly as possible [Music] gotta go that way it off yeah move back a little bit not to tip the corner presents its own unique challenge we find out it's not corporate well we can push up that cork over there and then hope for the best you see you got you ever gonna fix a fire different matsyas oh my goodness look at that that's pretty much straightened it out I don't know if you can tell on the video but that is a lot better that's crazy a little bit yeah they still want to tweak the wall a little bit before they're satisfied there you go [Music] now to give this wall a little bit of extra support what Frankie wants to do is he actually wants to puncture a hole
