Our house feels a bit like this - - or I imagine it does. The basement repair involves two walls being clear of "stuff" so we have been tossing and also sending our daughters' storage to their houses. With so much weight leaving the basement, the house has to be rising up a bit?!!!
The good news is after listening to a lot of ideas about how to best fix the basement, we chose a contractor today who will do a traditional fix with proper drainage around the outside of the house as well as a retaining wall of interlocking blocks outside the drainage area. There will be pictures for your viewing in the future.
This week, our contractor will build the temporary inside wall that will support our home while blocks are being replaced and excavation done for drainage. The majority of the repair work will not be done for at least a couple of weeks.
And I have pics from my siblings' visit to show you if there is ever a minute.

Even though you have to do all this work, it has to be exciting to be free of excess clutter.
Praying that the repairs go smoothly for you and your husband. Keep us posted and God bless.
Sounds like a thorough and proper job. Hope it all goes well.
Good luck with the repairs. I'm in the midst of decluttering -- spent quite some time earlier today and I look forward to a feeling of "up."
Good to declutter, sorry it has to be under these circumstances! It sounds like such a grueling job they are going to have to do! I would imagine it will be interesting to see the project and the end product but hoping it all goes smoothly and finishes on time!
