Replacing a number of lally columns in an 1870's farmhouse next month, and need opinions on the footings. I'm using 4" steel/cement lally columns, and from past jobs I pour rebar reinforced footings measuring 24x24x12.
The client who has a relative in the masonry field, feels it's "extreme" and smaller footings measuring 12x12x6 would be ok. My philosophy has been to 'overbuild' things to exceed code and add a measure of safety.
