I have a cabin built prior to 1930. The foundation on one side was linked to a concrete patio which is now crumbling with age and falling away from the cabin. This in turn is causing that wall to sag and push outwards toward the bottom. The floor inside is also beginning to slope towards the sag. Please help with any repair suggestions to save this family treasure.

Off hand the only forum Moderator qualified to even hazard a site unseen long distance guess about your problem would be JacktheContractor. He moderates the Basement forum. Repost your question there if you choose.
Personally, I don't think a distressed building falls within the range of a Doityourself project, nor is it something where guesswork applies. I'm not trying to be mean, but why haven't you been on the telephone calling Contractors and Contracting Engineering firms that specialize in foundation and hillside stabilization?
