That was my 1st time doing this very difficult technical work and I made tons of mistakes I'm covering in this video: 1) Don't sit piers on the ground - pour the slabs as a footing. 2) You won't fix entire floors by lifting up just beams/girders. 3) Just putting extra beams across joists won't fix entire floor. 4) Bottle jacks can not be your permanent piers. 5) If you use cinder blocks don't place them face side up. 6) Do not use floor jacks from regular home improvement stores like Lowes and Home Depot. 7) Don't think you will make your floors perfect.
