May need a structual engineer..

Greetings Brian,

After much contemplation, I think you may have a need for a stuctural engineer.

Here is my thinking on this;

In order to have an outside, load bearing wall, bowing out, I would think an inside load bearing wall, may have been removed or never built!

I believe the outside wall is bowing because it can't handle the weight of the structure.

In order to resolve your problem, you should bring in a pro that can add up all of your loads and determine what you options are.

The cost may be a few hundred bucks, (depending on your area), but it is well worth it to get the right answer.

Good luck,
Jason
