Reseal the exterior wood trim at Singleton's General Store & Post Office, Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park, Palmer Avenue, Earlimart, CA 93219

The condition survey found Singleton's General Store & Post Office's exterior wood trim weathering under the Valley's intense summer sun and occasional heavy rain; resealing the confirmed bare/primed wood protects the historic material from further sun and moisture damage. Standard: California State Parks cultural-resources stewardship practice + Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, applied to a wood-frame historic structure; SDG 11.4 safeguard cultural heritage. Proof: before/after photos + surface-prep confirm (no paint removal) + sealant product/coats log + GPS Method (IRC/ICC residential foundation repair practice for pier-and-beam construction -- structural jacking, pier replacement/shimming and moisture-source correction to relevel a settled floor system; licensed foundation-repair contractor performs all structural work, ~240-480 min): 1. Verify the licensed foundation-repair contractor's structural plan and permit; photograph the crawlspace access, existing piers/beams, and any moisture source (standing water, plumbing leak, poor grading) before work. 2. Run a floor-elevation survey (laser level grid) and mark the low points against the structural plan; record every reading. 3. The licensed crew sets jacks, relevels beams to the plan's target elevation, and replaces or shims piers per the engineer's spec -- never load beyond the rated jack capacity. 4. Correct the moisture source found in step 1 (grading, downspout redirect, or vapor barrier per the crawlspace's condition) so the releveling isn't undone by the next wet season. 5. Re-survey the floor elevation to confirm it meets the plan's target, verify door/window operation upstairs, and photograph the finished piers/beams and crawlspace. 6. Pass the local building-permit inspection where required; enter the before/after elevation survey, permit reference, and photos into the proof record; sign it. Equipment: hydraulic floor jacks rated to the structural load, laser level / string line + floor-elevation survey tape, pressure-treated shims and/or new concrete/steel piers per engineer spec, moisture meter (source-control check before closing the work), camera + tablet for the elevation survey and photo log Done when: Before/after floor-elevation survey showing the low points corrected to the structural plan's target; Photo documentation of piers/beams before and after, including any pier replacement or shim material used; The moisture source identified in the pre-work survey corrected (grading, drainage, or vapor barrier); Permit inspection pass reference where required by the jurisdiction

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 240–480 minutes. Method of record: IRC/ICC residential foundation repair practice for pier-and-beam construction -- structural jacking, pier replacement/shimming and moisture-source correction to relevel a settled floor system; licensed foundation-repair contractor performs all structural work

Bring

• hydraulic floor jacks rated to the structural load
• laser level / string line + floor-elevation survey tape
• pressure-treated shims and/or new concrete/steel piers per engineer spec
• moisture meter (source-control check before closing the work)
• camera + tablet for the elevation survey and photo log

Steps

1. 1. Verify the licensed foundation-repair contractor's structural plan and permit; photograph the crawlspace access, existing piers/beams, and any moisture source (standing water, plumbing leak, poor grading) before work.
2. 2. Run a floor-elevation survey (laser level grid) and mark the low points against the structural plan; record every reading.
3. 3. The licensed crew sets jacks, relevels beams to the plan's target elevation, and replaces or shims piers per the engineer's spec -- never load beyond the rated jack capacity.
4. 4. Correct the moisture source found in step 1 (grading, downspout redirect, or vapor barrier per the crawlspace's condition) so the releveling isn't undone by the next wet season.
5. 5. Re-survey the floor elevation to confirm it meets the plan's target, verify door/window operation upstairs, and photograph the finished piers/beams and crawlspace.
6. 6. Pass the local building-permit inspection where required; enter the before/after elevation survey, permit reference, and photos into the proof record; sign it.

If it does not match the plan

• Floor-elevation survey finds a low point exceeding the jurisdiction's structural-repair threshold or any sign of foundation cracking beyond hairline -> route to a licensed structural engineer before any jacking; never jack past a documented crack without engineer sign-off.
• No moisture source is found or corrected before closing the work -> the releveling is not accepted as complete; document the open moisture item and route it as its own follow-on job.

What counts as done

• Before/after floor-elevation survey showing the low points corrected to the structural plan's target
• Photo documentation of piers/beams before and after, including any pier replacement or shim material used
• The moisture source identified in the pre-work survey corrected (grading, drainage, or vapor barrier)
• Permit inspection pass reference where required by the jurisdiction

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
