Default Putting cement foundation where there is none

Pat,

Thanks for the feedback. How do you jack up only half of the
structure? Do you mean one side at a time? Just tilt it? Do you
think I can just use bottle jacks and lally columns on the inside (on
top of the poured 5" floor) to support against the top of the walls. I
read somewhere that you can do this to support the walls for replacing
a rotted sill plate. Obviously to do this I would have to be sure the
top plate is tied good to the wall studs with deck supports or
something.

Thanks again,
Lagnaf
