Arne : <br /> On August 28 , 1998 , we received a facsimile of the front elevation <br /> construction for your residence . The plan shows the front entry <br /> with the concrete stoop and brick masonry construction for the <br /> front entry extending to grade . You requested our services to <br /> review the front elevation and provide recommendations to extend <br /> the brick masonry construction to grade . Our previous observations <br /> of the northeast corner of the existing concrete stoop and <br /> underlying concrete foundation wal.1 indicated there is a wooden <br /> column support which extends to the top of the foundation wall <br /> construction. <br /> Extending the brick masonry pillar construction to the concrete <br /> foundation requires the support of a concrete pedestal in the <br /> northeast corner of the underlying foundation. We do not know if <br /> there is a pedestal in the construction. Previously we recommended <br /> the concrete stoop be removed and reconstructed . After the stoop is <br /> removed the presence of a pedestal at the corner of the underlying <br /> foundation can be determined. If there is Pio pedestal in the <br /> corner of the underlying foundation, a pedestal will have to be <br /> constructed . Repairs can be made to the distressed corner of the <br /> foundation wall at that time . Construction of a pedestal and <br /> repairs to the corner of the foundation wall will require tying in <br /> the new construction and repair area by providing dowelled <br /> connections. The repair area in the foundation should include a <br /> piece of vertical #4 rei.nforcing bar anchored in a 8" hole as <br /> previously recommended. <br />
