If the yellow eroded foundation is a mortar like material with little aggregate, and is friable (easily loosened by tapping on it, or rubbing it with a crow bar, the answer is to do a replacement of at least that corner back to the right hand side of the open door on the edge of the right edge of the image. To do that will require require supporting the wooden structure on the inside with steel beams and lolly columns so all compression is off of the decomposed portion. Next operation would be to remove all the material that is now foundation. dig a trench 8 inches below local frost line, and avoid removing any material that will need to be replaced. This means that the bottom of the trench will be undisturbed soil. Form up to the bottom of the wood sill plates (repair wood as needed to create a solid connection), and put anchor bolts about every 36 inches hanging down into the forms at least 8 inches. Pour new stiff concrete into the forms and use a vibration stinger to assure complete filling and contact with the wood. With that cured and the weight put on it you have a real wall with real durability. Follow those same tactics on the lean to making it straight. Using 6 mill poly, cover the new concrete above intended grade and put a drainage tile (black slotted poly tube) to daylight down hill. Back fill the area with stone over the drain and a layer of gravel on that. I have experience with mortar like material that has had all the cement leached out of it. It cannot be made solid, and will not be reliable. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
