Hi,

I'm trying to save the existing timber stumps in my Melbourne weatherboard house. I don't want to raise/level the house as it would crack-up the reno which the previous owners did. I'm planning to do it myself as the fees quoted by contractors were really high.

I've heard of "stump-savers", which are steel brackets which transfer the load of the stumps via bolts to the horizontal plates which then sit on the ground. But can't seem to find any in Melbourne.

Anyone have any clues?

Also, where would be a good place to buy new stumps in Melbourne - I'm thinking of adding a few new ones to supplement the "saved' ones.
:confused:
