If your hose is up to 50 yrs. old then you can probably jack them up all in one day. If it's older then you should do it over about a week unless when you jack it there is no crazy cracking noises. Then support it with a beam. You will need to check with your local builders supply house for the correct size beam for your situation. Also, make sure you place a properly sized concrete footing under any posts that will support your new beam. Good Luck, Aaron
