Repairs under home
Posted: Wed Mar 22, 2006 3:33 pm
We are in dilema and would like any suggestions.
We have a 1996 Skylight on a block foundation. We love the property we live on and are satisfied with the house with one exception.
We are unable to find people willing to go under the house to make repairs. For example, the heat vent to my son's room stopped working last winter and we cannot find anyone who will come out and fix the problem. My husband is not agile or slim enough to do it himself.
We have considered building a basement under the home but are finding it cost prohibitive. We don't want to sell and move, either.
While the problems so far have been minor, we worry that a major problem, along with our age, will make it impossible to stay in the home or to sell it.
Does anyone have any problems similar to this and could offer any advice.
