You must have industry experience! Are you a contractor or an inspector? What you described is exactly the case. The old 3-4, 2x12's nailed together is what is causing the problem. We are working with our inspector. He is also a licensed contractor. Hopefully he will fix it for us for a...
I'm not 100% sure about the footings and spans. My husband met with our original inspector and I wasn't there. But, he said you could see a problem from underneath. I think you are right about the first guy, because when I talked to him I indicated to him that I lived in the house for four...

He said that many interior walls would have to be...
