Greetings,

After you are done with the anchors you might consider leveling your wall
with mortar and then painting with drylock, etc. It won't do anything
structurally to help you but you will be very glad you did when you go to
sell the house.

Block wall in the basement is bulged out a couple inches. Horizontal crack
about 30 ' long. Am getting estimates on putting wall anchors in. The
anchors consist of 9' threaded rods which are ran through the wall and
attached to a plate inside and an anchor plate in the yard. This sounds

like
such a simple job that I was thinking about attempting it myself. Think I
should try to do this myself? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
