Hello again
I've been out and dug a hole (inside the barn) to try and establish
how deep the footings run. I have put a photo and description on my
web site (at the bottom) - I reckon they are 2' in total - I reckon
this isn't enough? My structural engineer (who I haven't spoken to
today) told me that underpinning (if that is what is required) is not
such a bad job if you know who to ask - and needn't cost more than £3k
for a project this size.
Any thoughts/comments....?
Thanks in advance....

Best take down all the walls if stone. Number the stones. build a nice
strong foundation slab. Build a timber frame on it and the re-erect the
walls. If brick or wood you have problems. Try the selfbuild list, they
are the people to be with.
