So my once crooked house is now half way level. That being said the right side is still wavy with thee stair well sinking in. My roommate is in the process of drawing up the plans to submit to the city for a permit. He is having trouble finding a bit of code regarding additional supports. He seems to think they are not needed but the more I look at it I cant help but think the sinking will continue without the addition of theses supports if it is framed in the same manor. He goes back and fourth so we decided to reach out here to see if there are specific codes we would be breaking or need to follow if theses supports were included in the plans.
So far what he has found is the following regarding the use of 6x6 posts.
24'' x 24'' x 8" concrete footing with rebar under each post.
Bracket secured into the footer giving a 1" clearance to deter moisture intrusion.
Bracketing to the joists above.
Here are some pictures of the three spots I would like post to be and then I will follow with general pictures of the most problematic areas (there are many more).
Thanks for the advice guys.
