I am hiring someone to do it, but since he is cheap there is always more risk involved. It is a fairly small pour- but the site prep is the hardest part, and I'll be there eyeballing the entire thing. I am having someone build all the forms. There will be more people here when the truck actually arrives. I agree this is a hugely complicated job and it is very stressful to consider all the pieces involved to make it work out. I do not want to do it, but the piers are sitting on rocks and are not stable. I can put my hand underneith them. The support beams are dryrotted and termite gouged. It has to be done, and it could cost a fortune to "hire a highly successful contractor". I just have to do the research ahead of time, have a good plan- and then pray.
