RE: Random Photos and Heat
hahaha! refrigerators are a big hassle to move especially if all you got is a little compact car! no our house is fine, we do have one of those stair-step cracks but the house has been sitting here since 1980 and there is no other movement which is extraordinary.. but the guy who built this house was a custom home builder and this was his house so he really knew what he was doing, we're thankful for that.
the huge cracks in the ground are amazing but just a seasonal oddity.
well, I mean you gotta watch where you're stepping or running in some areas of the lawns, we have four large lawns but where we work Jack out and play with him there are no cracks for some strange reason.
thank you sir!
I'mg lad that your house is safe. I can imagine it would be unsettling (pun intended) if your house was in danger of collapsing. Keep a weather eye open for those faults appearing.
yes sir..well, they have all kinds of repair companies out here to fix foundations if they start to have trouble but that is outrageously expensive, like they start at $50,000.
They drill holes about 20 or 30 ft deep at an angle away from your foundation and then fill those with concrete and connect them to your foundation.
however, I heard about a new design where they actually build the house on a bed of sand and that way if it shifts around the house moves with it and it doesn't crack and break up because it isn't secured to the ground.
I can imagine there's big business in fixing foundations if everyone built their houses on shifting sands. I like my houses to be built on solid ground, thank you very much. Keep your sands of time and shiftings, and I'll live on the rock. Or maybe a mountain top!
haha! yeah that makes perfect sense and it Biblical Blondie thank you!
