OK.. so here's a new one...
How do you go about jacking up a house? Ours is "drooping" in the back area.. specifically the kitchen.
There is a good clearance under it to place jacks/ supports. I have been told to use "pop bottle" jacks (
sure, I know what those are) and that the process has to be very slow, so as not to upset the foundation.
Is this something I should undertake myself or hire a professional " jacker?" WTF is a house jacker upper called anyway?? LOL. Anyone ( hint Jack) know of a good website with video showing the process?
There is very mild "sloping" in other areas, but the kitchen is the most dramatic. The wife says she hadn't noticed it so much until we placed a new round table in there, which makes it glaringly obvious. So,.. yet another wee little project in the ongoing saga of Extreme Home Makeover: Butch Edition.
Thanks in advance for any help!
