Yep!

I have generally been of the opinion that if you want extra room or
otherwise want to make major modifications to your home, it's almost always
cheaper to buy a house that has what you want and sell the old house than
modify the old house. Your old house may be exactly what someone else
needs.

If you LOVE your present neighborhood, often a "tear down" and restart is
cheaper than extensives ad ons and remodeling.

Very nasty work sometimes and takes a month or two sometimes. Lots
of dirt tracked in to the house.

Most continue to live in the house.

Wanted to update everyone. Thanks for all your replies. Foundation
repair company came out and said for $12,400 they could fix it. Will
take a couple of days to set the piers and then they come back out a
week or two later. No problem living in the house.
