    thank you thank you and thank you
  • How would you add a 18"x20" pier at the columns? My top of wall is at 0'-0" (GREEN) and the brick ledge at -0'-8" (RED). The concrete piers will also be at -0'-8" (RED)? I will paste a detail with the walls highlighted green and the brick ledge & piers red if it will let me paste it to this thread.
