When we acquired an adjacent 17 acres of land many years ago, it came with a wooden house built on stilts. The thick wooden stilts at the outer four outer corners gradually began to disintegrate at the base due to rain damage. It was reaching a state of potential danger, so we hired a team to temporarily prop up each corner of the house so they cut off the bottom section of each wooden pillar and fill that space with concrete. The photos show the nearly-final results, with just some concrete staining left to match the color of the remaining wood pillar.
The third photo shows one of our large banana stalks heading into ripening stage.
