I think our 40ish year old house was rigged together by amateurs. It has a multitude of problems, but the crucial thing now is that I have noticed our old reclaimed brick siding that was put on who knows when is pulling away from the house on both sides of the front door, like it is leaning away in a solid sheet. What to do? Would you think this is a foundation problem or just the siding has come unfastened. Since it is on both sides of the door would that make it more likely of being foundation problems? We do have a quarry about 2 miles up the road that occasionally you can feel the blasts when they are working. What can we do to fix things without going broke?
Thanks for any advice!
