In the past we have also turned the soil and planted sod if the grass is to far gone. 

As an aside most older homes here in Chatt have some type of settling because of lack of soil compaction when building and the fact we get 50+" of rain a year. 

The reason for this is most associated with poor grade or pitch which caused  excessive soil /water pressure against the wall resulting in incremental displacement as wall yields to horizontal earth pressure.

I think I used a 2x12 and again with lots of toe-screws. 5. the built in desk just has a 2x4 cleat underneath around the sides and back.

If anyone has pulled a vacant land list from list source or any other places and has a criteria of what to put in list source pm me or post underneath!

It has old limestone lintels and 5 of them are cracked one majorly one other has had a steel plate put underneath it. 

If its on a crawl space it could be an easy fix, also I dont know what kind of soil you have in San Diego.

Lost of paint, ripped up old carpet and found gorgeous hardwood floors underneath, landscaping, repainted the front door and shutters, repainted the front fence, built a window box.

I think we are a little early in this semantics shift but I predict in 5-10 years because the real estate industry moves soo slow we will see multifamily and single family investments move underneath “residential investments”.

Wood underneath warps and causes uneven floors, from blocked ventilation spaces in the crawlspace2.
