This was posted by Rob

From time to time you may need to re-level your home, straighten out a pier or even put extra support under a bay window, a pool table or a large bathtub. In any of these case you will need to know how to properly build a support pier to take the weight and spread the load.
It is important to build these support piers correctly so that the load is transferred to the ground. To this end the piers need to be constructed of the right materials. The support needs to be square to the beam, the components stacked firmly and the pad should be flat on the ground.
