Concrete question, underpinning

[bgott]

You can buy hydraulic cement at Ace Hardware in small containers. I forget the weight , I think the last one I bought was quart sized. That would beat buying a bucket full for a small job.

I was at Ace this morning, the container is 3 pounds. Wouldn't you know it, I didn't check the price.

But the working time on cutters stuff is a concern. Tomorrow it's off to the large local masons supply and check out the machine grout as I'll need a soupey mix to get it back under fully. Poured a good footing today in the corner and I will make a simple jack in the am. At least I have some welding on the jack
