Thank you for your message, dreamchaser. I wish I had the courage of
so many people that go thru with these type of situations in life. I
hate to say that I am kinda weak when it comes to situations like
these. I have been worried sick ever since the full force of the
possiblities that could be happening hit me. I did not know of
foundation issues or drywall issues or tile over slab issues until I
start investingating why my walls were cracking. Then, the more I
read, the more it started bothering me. Then I started reading about
how the foundation has to be underpinned in the event of a foundation
problem. I honestly did not know of all these until this
investigation began about 3-4 months ago. This house is about ~7.5
years old and still under structural warranty by the builder. I have
read horror stories about how the builder will not honor his warranty.
I have heard about how they try to shift blame etc. All this has me
completely depressed with thoughts of killing myself. Its a horrible
thought but that is what emotions and depression make you feel. Please
don't mistake me for a depressed individual to begin with. But these
cracks in tiles and drywall along with the horror stories have me
thoroughly depressed and confused. My thoughts every minute are about
which crack is widening or which new cracks surface or what sound the
subfloor makes when I walk on them etc. I go to sleep thinking about
these and wake up thinking about these. I wish no one has to go thru
these experiences. That is my sad state of life with the situation as
it is.
