A house with a concrete block basement garage, a wood-frame first floor and a brick exterior. The basement extends above grade about four feet. The house was hit near a corner by a car. Luckily the house was protected by a steel I-beam embeded in concrete which took most of the impact. The interior basement concrete blocks were pushed in and the mortar cracked. About four blocks were completly dislodged. Three concrete blocks at the top of the adjacent corner wall were cracked. The house has a large steel I-beam on top of the basement concrete block wall, as a sill plate for the frist floor. Don’t ask me why. It appears the basement garage may have been installed as an after thought. In anycase the beam will support the first floor while the concrete block is replace below the beam. But what about the exterior brick wall. The exterior brick mortar is cracked and the bricks are caved in about an inch. The problem, how to support the brick wall above the damaged area while replacing the brick below. There is a basement window at grade lever about five feet from the corner and a bedroom window at the upper limit of the damage. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

I am attempting to build a permanent block foundation under my manufactured home. Unfortunately, my footing is not level. One corner block is 6 inches higher than my other corner block. Everything that I have read says to build your lead corners, place mason's line in between them and fill in the course between the corners. We attempted a dry run for the first course, and it gave us a sloping, unlevel course of block. What would be the easiest, most effecient way to correct this problem? Any advice or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you very much.
