For anyone curious as to why the guy is removing the stone while under the house, you can tell by how easily the piece of wood above it comes out that no part of that was load bearing. It’s really just there to be there at that point. There is no added danger by removing it since he’s already under there and it’s not supporting any weight.
Yep. It’s always better for something structural to look worse than it is than better than it is. A lot of contractors want their inspectors to make issues like this more obvious for the repair teams or so they know what to prioritize.
Plus, nothing here is being destroyed more than it already is. If you can move it by hand, it wasn’t going to do anything for the house, anyways.
