so i need to lift the home to be able to replace a section of foundation. As it turned out it costs almost as much to lift the entire home as it does to just raise/level the half that needs the foundation repair. There is a good section that is actually in pretty decent shape, but I'm thinking why replace just half and possibly end up having to replace the other half later should the older section fail. So I think we have decided to lift the entire home and replace the entire foundation. Crazy? I've been called worse things. Crazy expensive? kinda. What i worry is that if I ever need to sell the place, the old foundation will be an issue and may make an otherwise easy sale not happen.
One of the problems we face with raising the home to do the repair is that there are a lot of trees on the property. The home lifting company thinks they may need to cut down some trees to be able to get their beams in place. I never considered that as an option and of course I really don't want to have to cut down any trees. I've got to meet the contractor up there to see what our options are.
