Leveling

The Stonehouse is essentially two buildings in one - an exterior house built of stone and an interior wooden frame house. There is a 2 inch air gap between the two which was formerly used to help heat the house. Over the years the wooden frame house has sagged in spots. The floors are no longer level and there is quite a bit of bounce to them. There are cracks in the plaster and gaps under some of the walls as a result. When you walk through the hallway the pots and pans in the kitchen jump and rattle.

We have begun the process of bringing it back to level, with great results so far. The plan is to bring it up gradually over the course of 4-6 weeks so that too much stress is not put on the house all at once.
