Matty of them had dimensional 2x fumber chris-anssed over the top of the screw jack to pick up two exisl,tng floor fi'aming m@rnbers. The new diReensional lumbor was placed flai, in it's weak axis so It would not have significar�strenqth or stifFness ta pick up floor loading in this con�iguration. This is acceptable sir�ce the purpose af the screw jacks as placed is to just slightty reduce the bouncy feefing of the floor framing rathe�than to ba a primary vertical Ioad resisting element. �he base of the j�cks are in direct contaCt wlth lhe conCrete floor slab and is acceptable, but may�cause cracking of the floor slab due to the concemratlon of the loads dlre�tly over the slab and not distributed ovar a larger area of the floor slab. The sciew iacks should be monitored bv vou for sians of Ioosenin,�c.mavemerrt.etc.and should be anchored to conc slab with a minimum of a sinate anchor to the slab and should also be nailed to th�wood members at the top of the screw"La,gk. Ex�Ceriox Grad�nq Wvrk: You did not do eny significarrt re-grading of the house site and prima�ily lett the site draina�e as it has been for Fnany � yea�s. You did state that you did add In a� e�cte�lor drain#ile system adJacent to the oxterior of the�oundatio�wall and have it daylight draining awey fmm the house site. This should be acceptable since he did nat do any significar� chanBes to the site that would require re-grading. Any future site work shou�d atlem�t to divert surtace mofstur0 away from the house and should consider the use of impenrlo�s materials at tne surt'ace adjacerrt to the house to reduce the potentiai of moisture inflltratlon irrto the basement area. �'roat Pvraxt: 7..
