I stay out of properties inside the perimeter (I like suburbs) From just outside the I-285 perimeter heading north and west Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth (all 3 in Cobb County), and then into Emerson and Cartersville (both Bartow County).  

Under the cedar shingles were just open beams with some tongue and groove on the perimeter.

The palm is the perimeter road around ATL.Now pull out a map and draw a radius of 30 miles around ATL and 50 miles around ATL. divide the entire map in 4 section east west and north south.

When soil characteristic on one end of the foundation is different than the other end, you'll start to see the differential settlement over time.Repair options would really depend on your foundation type and existing soil profile but my approach would be to install helical anchors along the perimeter of your foundation to level and, most importantly, transfer your load to soil layer that can sustain the design load.

When I was very little and my father was in the air force we lived in Winnipeg for a spell ... back when Duff's ditch and the brand new perimeter hwy were outside of the City.What are housing prices like St Vital or around the old infantry base these days?

The overwhelming response I received was you can do sprays on the exposed wood, try to remove the food source (use composite) or do ground treatments to create a perimeter.

Kevin C. definitely go with a tub enclosure kit, you can install yourself using proper adhesives and silicone around the perimeter.

Fog, boric acid or that combat gel around all the base boards, treat perimeter.
