I have started on a project never attempted before (by me). I have a late 1800's two story hay barn which has settled a good 6" on some of the sides. The main sill beam is completely gone. The ridge is good and straight and has not sagged too much at all if any. I stopped the continuing sagging by jacking up an inch or so and placing some rock and wood to prevent it. Next step is to form up some jacking points and pour some concrete mix. I was told that you have to do this very slowly and take some time or the slate roof will get damaged (I am heading that). It would help if I could get some pointers from the group. I have read a bit, but this forum is great.
