...for responding!
Interesting, about the bowed wall. I defer to Glenn with his expertise on these matters. But things that come to mind might be (1) weight of the roof, and (2) older structures wouldn't meet today's code; material might've been undersized.
Come to think of it, codes now are stronger than they were just 20 or 30 years ago. I've sure had some issues with my own 24 year old home.
But there is no perfect home, as I said. I had a new home once; was maybe the worst home I ever owned.
Good luck; please keep us posted!
Thanks again Glenn, for your opinion here!
