120 year old house. I just finished laundry in my basement and leaned back against a 8x8 support beam and it moved. Confused I turnt around and pushed it again and it moved again.
Standing back I notice the floor joist is about 1/8 an inch above the stringer. All floor joist are still resting on the foundation walls. The brick walls of the house don't seem to have and fault lines or cracks.
The house use to be 2 stories years ago until a fire, and it was rehabbed into just a single story, that's why the huge support beams. Also I'm in St. Louis and we're having some freeze and thaw cycles.
Any ideas?
