Default How do they fix a home sliding over a hill?

A friends home is just a few doors away from a home thats about to
slide over a hill...

the backyards have gone from 15 feet to just a few, and that home
close by is about a foot and is for sale for 5 grand. Its vacant since
the gas company terminated service and pulled the meter for safety
reasons. its a nice ranch in a so so neighborhood. it makes me wonder
how the pros do it, theres over a 100 foot drop to the valley below.
it last sold for 6

Rappeling would be necessary to work behind the home

buddy showed me another house like this, the home currently sits above
ravine street. the foundation is undermned and collapsed.

that is you can look under the footer and concrete slab. maybe 1/4 is
exposed, i was afraid to get too close for a good look.

both homes are pretty nice and might make a nice investment for
someone if they could be stabilized........


Solution here. Dunno how permanent.
