This is what I did once to repair a sunken corner to a barn ,,cow poop rotted timber out,,some of you for sure has seen this ..I took an old car screw jack and put it under the timber as close as I could to the end that was rotten, I jacked it up to level and just a bit more ..I then put blocking in and around the jack while I built concrete forms to hold the wet cement mix..
At this point I took the blocking out and nailed in a form on both sides where the blocking was and just left the jack in the pour.. never got to do that again ,,it worked just
fine and I would of done it for a house if that same thing ever came about,,but it didn't so I never got to do it for a house..

That jack and Jimmy Hoffa have something in common Larry. You didn't once live in Chicago by any chance?
