    Our problem is it's a 100 year old farm house that is basically sitting on rocks for pilings, even though sandstone is only 18 inches below grade.

    In most cases I have used a jack post to lift sagging areas but this would be a quicker, easier, if only temporary fix.
    Unk, there is no permanent fix for housing. A house has been described as a hole in the ground you throw money into, just like a car is a hole in the road you throw money into, or a boat is a hole in the water, likewise. Best you can do, is keep the expenses down to a dull roar. All fixes are temporary. So you might as well learn to LIKE fixing stuff!

    And if you can do it with craftsmanship equal or better than the original builder, you can be proud, too.
