Later that night a few of us attended the "Where We're Going and Where We've Been: Bicycles, Cities, and Transportation in Austin" forum with David Byrne at the Paramount.
Today, I finally got my house leveled. Long story short - one side of my house was originally leveled with incorrectly installed shim. The shims were put in at an angle, and the wall above has been sliding as a result of it over the years. Anyway, the foreman promised me that he took care of the problem, and the shims are now installed flat. Being the skeptical homeowner, I had to go check out their work for myself.
Looks fine, but they had to raise my house 2 inches to get everything level - which created it's own problem.
Funny thing is, I was told the house had settled 2 inches relative to the high point. So each pier, except one, had to be shimmed around 2 inches. I asked why they couldn't just lower the high point 2 inches instead. Seemed like it would have been much less work.
