I HAVE A HOME THAT HAS SETTLED ABOUT 2-1/2" ON ONE SIDE OF IT. THIS HAS CREATED A CRACK IN THE FOUNDATION THAT BECAME EVIDENT WHEN THE PORCH WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW DECK. THIS HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1917.THE HOUSE HAS ALWAS HAD A LEAN TO IT BUT IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SELLING IT. THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO LIFT THE ONE SIDE TO GET AN ALMOST LEVEL HOUSE? I WOULD PREFER TO DO THIS MYSELF AS I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CASH AT THE PRESENT. ANY IDEAS WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU.
