It has been wetter this winter. I am a bit concerned about structural issues. No cracks internally or externally from what I can see.

There's some youtube videos on how to fix it. Try to avoid sanding down doors etc as a solution Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it. Trust me, its in my sig. Are they stumps or screw piles ? How much fill is there, is the site a class "P" ? A "H2" site is not supposed to have stumps it is supposed to have grid beams according… 1 7803 House movement is always a potential problem and there is a cause.
