[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2529915, member: 1242"] Uhmmm, yeah but part of the problem is that the attic is closed off to the part of the house you need to get to. :scratch: Don't ask me ... I didn't build the thing ... I'm thinking I'm gonna find a structural engineer to talk to ... But at least I've got somewhere to start. We have a neighbor who is a general contractor and he said he wasn't sure. That is was a "strange" deal, whatever that is. He also told me moving the kitchen would probably be about $10-15K but I want it done right. Kinda like the cars we have, this is what we are gonna die with so I want to be comfortable and this house REALLY needs some work done to it ... I don't think the water is plumbed in the slab because it's on an outside wall (well, kinda outside ... it backs to the garage and the water to the washer is plumbed through that wall also. The "new" kitchen will be against the wall the washer/dryer back into so I think the water can come through there and they can just cap off the lines on the other side because that wall will be shelving ...
