So I emailed the SF street and sidewalk department about buckling sidewalk and possible void under said sidewalk in front of my house.
They came, checked, emailed me back and said, "The repair is on the home-owner, not the City."
Sigh....well, what do I expect, a 100 yr old sidewalk needs some repair/maintenance.
We are talking 15 feet by 3 ft, with possible void under a 3x3 ft section.
After the reaming I took with the last home improvement/maintenance project, how doable is it for the average Joe to:
1 Pull permits
2 Break up/remove old concrete
2 Prep and fill any void (and pray the goddess of sweet infinity that there isn't a broken water/sewer line under there)
3 Build forms
4 First inspection
5 Pour
6 Final inspection
Hmm, now that I wrote it out, maybe I'll just pull the permit myself and hire out the rest of it.
But, I am curious what the hive mind has to say because, well, because sometimes there can be some pearls of wisdom.
For your troubles, thanks in advance with some sexy concrete:
