Balsistrades to support underhouse.
HI, I am really lost. I have a tongue and groove house which is on wooden stumps. The house is "moving' and i had to get lock adjested so it would properly close .( it happens when change in weather.) That has been fixed , however i was told that i would need a balustrade to assist in holding a part of the verandah up underneath that area with out it sinking more. I have been told it may hold but i want to be prepared./ + there is simply black soil on this property. I could never afford to get house restumped. And I am lost on what to do, who to call, and the cost. Im just trying to keep basic maintence on house. not restoring or doing renos. Can anyone assist me
As you can see the stairs at front are fine but underneath the area (verendah) just with small window at top needs , i have been told a balstrade to" support underneath house" where window is, this is the best picture I have , and a stump is at the top of stairs also. Apparently it needs this as their is also a little 2cm area in the verandah inside. As it has moved also, Sorry about the picture but if you can vision the area where he postbox is. This is where i need help. I am Totally lost, have no idea what tradie to call , and how much i would be looking at. * I will never be able to do renos etc as the house has always been on a slant.and will never have$$ . I own home but I just NEED the basics done. and i have to get another entrance frame for another door as the back door has same issues , If you can help , it would be greatly appreciated.
