Underpinning, now known as Groundworks, quoted me $80,000 to raise the east side of my 45-year old house 3"-4". Insane anyone would pay that much, so I am in the TH-cam University phase of planning right now. LOL

Amazed that this quandary was actually solved. Having the same problem, I was ready to design a DIY mechanism... and holy cow, found this video. I searched for this with little hope of finding such a thing - and here it is! Many thanks for sharing this amazing video... I was hoping there would be a parts list to rail materials, servo, radio control etc., with URLs and didn't find one.... maybe I missed it. Anyway a million thanks Scott! Will continue to look around for that info, but wanted to write a comment immediately after watching the video.

Genious! 😜

***PLEASE READ ENTIRELY FOR A SIMPLER AND LESS EXPENSIVE SOLUTION*** As well as Scott, I was also googling/youtubing for a solution to this problem. At first I had no luck. Eventually I figured a rail system could be a possible solution so I modified my search and was able to come across this video. I love how you took us through the solutions of both the main problem and the obstacles that arose in a humorous and intelligent way. I am grateful for people like you. Thanks for taking of your time and energy to share your genius idea, and helping others with the same problem by making it possible of owning a pool table. After reading many of the comments, I noticed another possible solution to this problem was by spinning the pool table. I continued my search and I eventually came across another video where they place the pool table on top of a “lazy susan” type mechanism. After getting no response from the channel, I began googling and found the spinning mechanism. It goes by the following names: “pallet carousel”, “industrial turntable”, “industrial carousel”, “air bearing turntable”. It comes in different diameters and weight capacities, as well as other “extras”. You would also have to find two rectangular panels to place on top of the spinning mechanism and afterwards, the pool table on top of the panels. This solution is “plug&play”, manual and requires no skills. I hope it could be helpful to someone. Below is the video link for reference: th-cam.com/users/shortsyu9LjGMnoXQ?si=kCo0fjewwgigDFJr

This is the greatest DIY pool video of all time. I originally came across this video a while ago when I found myself wondering "what if you could just put a pool table on wheels to avoid the small room problem?", and then I saw your genius solution. I came searching for this video again today to show a friend of mine. Can't believe I didn't leave a comment the first time I was here. Congrats on your super functional and very elegant handiwork!

Man if he would put this in production you have a great ideal here

Hopefully you also addressed the drainage and water shedding problems that caused the settlement to begin with. Proper gutters and adding french drains around the foundation to control run off as well as adding flashing over the deck, under the siding to prevent water working back to sill plate. I currently have issues of water running under and behind footings in a crawl spaceon a house addition. footings are not bolted to wood stub wall, and have no rebar and it appears the wood stub wall wasnt attached to wall sill plates, so i may utilize this method to leave the footings as they are, solve the drainage problem and just lift between the sill plates of the stub wall and then sister the studs and put back down.

Thank You for this video! Cheers!!

Can one beam be lifted one at a time or does all beams have to be lifted all at the same time.

Great job. Unfortunately the bottle jacks will not hold long term. They will release pressure overtime. Must use adjustable floor/house jacks.

I had to do clear foreign config instead, but this lead me down the right path. Thanks!

Can we lift a house having built-in RCC columns with bottle jacks please?

I smiled all the way thru this vid. The intelligence, humor, and reserved passion- you are at the top of the list when it comes to How To men! I had a dream/demand. I want my living room back- hence our pool table needs a new home. No rooms big enough! I looked at some solutions on internet and I don’t need to try their suggestions- casters will not work- physics, right? I love this solution. I have me (determined) and 3 brothers (talented) who have the skill sets that can pull it off. BUT- my problem is a little bit more complex. Challenge- can you design a table that can do exactly like yours- only I need it to move roughly 609 mm N-S and roughly 609 mm E-W. I thought 2 set ups similar to yours independent but as a cohesive system might be easier to accomplish over 1 unit to do it all… I have no skills in any required to design or build. But I can reason and envision things in my head so I need you!! And my living room. And my pool table. 🌸🦋💜

Had to swing on by this video and comment again. I managed to get my rails drilled, holes tapped, bearings bolted, and pool table sitting on top of them and boy, lemme tell ya. I'm pretty impressed if I dare say so myself. I still havent motorized it, but honestly, I dont know if I actually need to in my scenario. Idk if my cloth isnt that fast (Championship Invitational with Teflon) or what, but I can pretty much move it without moving the balls at all. I only notice issues when I feel the table move beneath me because the lack of a ball screw keeps it from being locked into place. And so, I will still motorize it, but for now I can actually play all my shots without jacking up the cue or using the shorty. I saw this video and used it to help justify buying a bar box and putting it in a 10x20' room over a year ago, and I bought the bar box that week for like $30, bought new slate for $50, covered the cloth and replaced all the rubbers for some $175-200, and now am idk less than $100 into this sliding rail system, with maybe another $150 to get it motorized. Altogether, I managed to take some $500 and a room too small for pool, and make a playable pool experience out of it. Thanks for the inspiration. I will probably try and do my own video and attribute all credit to this one, in hopes that more folks have opportunities to convince themselves a pool table is right for them.

Question- why not casters?

Awesome job. Im doing my due diligence through youtube too lol.

May i send you some pictures of my gmas house and we can make some content😊

Hi Scott, This is fantastic. I must have one. I have an 8 foot table in a space that is just a little too small. I saw a suggestion to follow along with some other builds but it was not obvious where I could do this. Any help would be appreciated. The other question I had was about leveling the table. Did you take the approach of leveling the rails? Is there something I am not thinking about? Thanks, Tony

could be a solution but i think it would break my concentration and focus

WOW ! Excellent work! You dont need a special permit to do this? One of those probly dont ask dont tell kinda things.

Thanks to your help, I finished this kit about 9 months ago. It runs well and I have added some new designs to make it easier to use. It has made very much fun to my life with my wife. I have aspirations to commercialize this kit to fit most pool tables. I would like to contact you for your permission to it.And wanna communicate with you and work together to improve it so that it can be disassembled for transportation and used right out of the box, would you be interested? Looking forward to your reply.Martin

I’m here to work out how to level my garden cattery shed, as the foundations are sinking ( I voulunteer in cat rescue). I’ve been dreading it. But if you can level a whole house! What am I worried about. I’m going to order some bottle jackets lol.

Sell the kit, make millions 👍🏼

Great job! Don't know if you read comments anymore but would be thankful for information. What brend of the jacks and adjustable posts you got and where? We have a problem with sagging floor and carrying beam destroyed by termites of two story house so tones of work ahead 😓

If your foundation is sinking and you're jacking up from foundation, are you expecting to have to do this again after some years?

U knuckle head....in case of settlement u can go for pressure grouting...... That's the easiest way to do it without making mess all around......

Are you still active? I now live in quebec but have a similar issue. Most of my house is on a nice solid slab foundation, but they renovated and added an addition a long time ago, and chose not to put a foundation in the back corner. The house has sagged a little because of it. When I got the home inspected, the inspector suggested I just put in a sonotube 5 ft deep, fill that with concrete, and then put in a jackpost in the back corner. Was wondering if there is anything else I should do.

Nice shirts (sharivari) Brilliant video.

Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Air Vent Windshield for your rzr 570(if your car year is 2012-2018

Well done! Hard to get it perfect, but that's much better! Saved at least $4,000 and honestly you prob did a better job!

Wow débile ....Bravo Scott! Extrèmement ingénieux!

You sir just saved my research, thank you

great engineering!

Can you please share the Arduino sketch. Were you using AccelStepper?

Years ago your project would have been on the cover of Popular Mechanics, LOL. I think for my purpose I'll just go with pushing the table by hand. Regarding the wheels , what is the inside/outside diameter? There are many types on Amazon but the inside axis should be just so that a regular bolt acts like an axle.

Can you send me link to the motor and bolt moving thing, my table moves just need it to move with the push of a button

Awesome engineering!

Very genius idea. Where did you get the wheels for the v-track?

Well done. I applause you.

Thank you sir !!!!!!!

the solution is obvious... buy a bigger house

Very odd house

That's good, too. But how about moving left to right and up and down, how you got to do about it? My room can fit only up and down, not left to right, then I might have to do it by using wheel to spinning to see how it work or not. Do you have anything about moving it for left to right and up to down to help me to fit my 7' or 8' that I'm going to buy one and placed it in my bedroom of about 10'×15'.

🤣😂🤣😂💀💀💀

wow

Amazing Video, watched probably like 10 times now. I have some questions about the motor and ball screw, if anyone that has successfully dones this has a minute I would love to pick your brain.

This is awesome!!! And I’m all 3 😁😁😁 🎱🤓

Hope you could post the project with Bill of Materials and Source code so that others could do it too.

Now that is thinking outside the box for sure. Excellent job!

This should be commercialized as an OOB solution!
