We all know it is important to have a solid foundation (in life and in your house). In Texas, home foundations shift and crack because of the ever expending and contracting soil. Our house is no exception. We have noticed an increasing crack in our entry way, so we let the property management company know, and they informed the owner. A company came out and surveyed the house and found that the foundation was in need of some repairs. The front of the house was falling lower than the back. To make the repairs, they had to come out and dig holes around the front of the house (and one on the porch, one on the driveway, and one in the garage) and put some lifters under the foundation. It took them two days, and was really loud at times. But now we are all level... for now we are back upon that sure foundation! (And hopefully the bushes will survive!!)
