I really need your help!
Hello,

My home was photographed in K pictures on previous posts. My home was his inspiration for his career project. I wanted to submit some pictures to get some suggestions/opinions of what's going on with my home. I didn't hire an inspector to inspect my home before purchasing and now I realize it was a big mistake so please don't think I'm going after an inspector but I'm wondering if repairing my home would be the best thing. I hired a structural engineer and he stated my home needs 22 piers for a post tension slab and the home was built in 2004. He also stated differential movement, evidenced by: Multiple stress cracks and separations in the perimeter brick veneer and interior sheetrock walls, misaligned doorframes, and slope in the floor slab; typically toward the perimeter beam. Floor elevations were taken with a Prolevel, which showed a differential up to 2 1/2" and the nailed connections between ridge beam and roof joists have pulled-away. I'm a female relative of K and I have no idea what any of this means so any help would be appreciated.
