I may have a problem, but not sure.
Advice or thoughts welcome.


I have had to go up to help clear the house and treeline.

The floor, even with bracing will move when climbing the stairs, and when the walls go on wind would cause a problem.

So i installed a solid concrete plinth (250mm diameter).

The footing is 600mm deep & 400mm diameter.

It goes through the floor with a 10mm clearance.

Here is the potential problem:

At the top of the plinth, if I tap it hard with my hand it still flexes (not much < 1mm).

I then went to the scope sitting on the EQ8 and tapped it with my hand, and yes it also moved (flexed).

Resolutions:

1: Leave it as is, I can't think of any forces that would impact the plinth.

2: Put a larger diameter pipe around the bottom section and add more concrete.
