Sac & Story county IA | I raised up a building 9 feet. It was an extremely strong building to start with or I probably wouldn't have messed with it. 2x6 studs, sheeted outside of studs and inside. Every 10 feet the stud is a 4x6. We raised it up on 6 sets of 12 inch piling. The pilings outside of the building were set in holes 3x3x3 and filled with concrete. Those structures are part of the foundation/wall, now. The wall below the existing building is 10 inch thick poured concrete with double curtain rebar.
The tough part was keeping the building secure for 3 weeks while the walls were built.
Insurance guys acted like I wanted to insure a house on the moon.
It involved drilling 400 5/8 inch holes in 3/8 thick steel with a hand drill.
