My neighbor has a cottage on a slab that's been 'sinking' for the last 60
years or so. The slab is broken and they've used scraps of wood to provide a
'level' floor which is now above the sill plates. The slab is now about 6"
below grade and every thing is pretty well rotted. He can't afford to tear
is all out and redo it properly. His latest thought is to dig out around the
outside and just fill it in with cement to stabilize the mess. He's also
thought about raising the wall a bit and replacing the sill plates with
treated lumber.
Any thoughts on this one?
Thanks
Brian
