Realize that this is a long time after the original post, however I am surprised that none ot the "experts" on here didn't mention expansion anchors. You can find several sizes of them in any good hardware department / store. With them all you have to do is set your pre drilled base plate on...

If you want something that is basically guaranteed to last for as long as you own the house, then do it right and do not patch it with any overlay, which by the way is quite likely to crack and or continue to sink with the old stuff or come loose after a few cold winters of freezing water...

The switch with two wires going to it is pretty much standard in that it controls the power to one light or outlet, or perhaps two outlets that are wired in parallel for instance lamps on each end of the sofa. The one with three wires could either be for a three way circuit or again just a...

I do not understand why not just cut off the tree as close to the fence as possible with whatever you have and then just take a wide wood chisel and big hammer and start splitting it off. Maybe hand saws and wood chisels are just not high tech enough.

While removing the wall would seem to be the best answer, how about removing both doors and leave the openings, while you are at it remove the stub walls for the door directly behind the fridge and maybe the stub on the kitchen side of the door into the dining area, leaving as small a post there...

How about an 8" steel I-beam. Probably take en engineer to do the calculations, but may work. There are even 6" tall ones available.

Hardware from sliding closet doors, 1x4's for studs======bingo pocket door. Just get a picture of framing and copy.

I found this one a Lowe's. In the hardware dept. Under cabinet hardware, catch. Belwith/Hickory Hardware 1-5/16" C/C Catches Cadmium Double Roller Catch I think if you type "Double Roller Catch" into any search engine you will find lots of examples.

Look in the phone book under house leveling and you will probably find several people in the business of fixing your type of problems. Pier and Beam is a widely used type of foundation all over this area and has been for a long time. I have built houses this way for 30+ years and if they are...
