InBerkeley

Berkeley is built on hills, seismic hills, and our houses have been here a while. Every winter it rains, a lot. So houses slip down the hill on a slow-moving river of mud. When they change hands the new owners might have a big construction job waiting for them! The contractor jacks up the house, it rests on huge beams of wood while they anchor and then pour a new foundation. As long as everything is turned upside down, let’s do a remodel! Three years later…
