Default help! i need to jack a brick house before it falls over!

ups.com...
this is a two-story brick victorian built in the 1800s. far as we can
tell, there have been no gutters on it to divert the rainwater away
from the foundation for quite a while, and the foundation is settling
badly. the brick above grade is now caving in towards the basement. is
there any way to shore this beast?
much obliged,
-cold in colorado


I agree with everyone else, I'm fearless and the thoughts of hurting that
1800's house scares me. I'd call a Pro and ask their assessment.
