The Slow Road to Recovery

The January earthquake is a distant memory, but the house is still jacked-up and waiting.  We have had great luck with local contractors.   Some advice to Humboldt County Restorations --- just call George Kurwitz,  the legendary Humboldt County foundation and house moving contractor.   George has been working on the house for a couple of months now,  we are in no hurry and the work is getting done.

You can see some of the damage, both piers moving off post and in those cases where the posts were secure the earthquake splits the posts.


After the quake George jumped right in and put in the cribbing to make sure the house didn't slip anymore.


The next step is to put in a new diameter foundation and a concrete wall to connect the foundation to the house.   Stay tuned.
