And the verdict is....

We do not have a foundation problem! woo hoo!!!!!!!

We had an engineer come out and look over our house today, check the foundation and do measurements. Turns out our house is only 2.5 inches unlevel, which, he says, is very normal considering this time of year and the bad drought we have had. He says he wouldn't be surprised if, after a year, it was down to only 1.5 inches unlevel. He said there is only reason to be concerned when you hit 5+ inches. He also said our actual foundation is intact and not cracked and to just ingore the little (although some are not so little) cracks we are seeing pop up around the house. He told us the sides of the house to continue soaking (low areas) and the sideds of the house to refrain from soaking (the higher level places).

All in all, we are soooooo relieved.
