Re: First floor support
Thanks for the input. I will pass it along.

Jerry,
Referring to 3, The present owners have been in the house for 40 years and it was there when they bought the house.
#4,#5, As I said it is a dirt floor, so the column was originally mounted on that little stone as there is no other means of support. The stone probably sank either from little weight was on it or from the dirt turning to mud during wet periods in the basement.
