You’ve got to be kidding me!

They texted back. They are coming tomorrow to re-mark. They hope that the footers are wide enough to shift the house to keep it on the footers.

I Googled and it seems this is certainly not unheard of. There are a few fixes out there. But hopefully we can just shift the house over a bit and all will be fine.

I sure hope so!
