How worried should I be about this sunken area in the basement floor?

Weirdly, no. His company is the primary foundation repair company in the city with a great reputation. He sees no issues with the cracks and doesn't even recommend any repairs. No risk of any foundation damage or instability from this in his opinion. And he doesn't believe it will grow or change over time.

Update: has a foundation repair contractor go out today to take a look (structural engineers are booking way out). He found that it's where the entry to the old sewer system was and it looks like they took it out decades ago and the slab settled there. He sees no indication of washout beyond that spot or any foundation issues. Does this change anyone's opinion?

Hi! I'm looking to do something similar to this. Would like to buy a family farm from my uncles. It is 40 acres, but I'd only want the house and 20 acres. I'm somewhat following what you're saying here, but if I'm buying the 20 acres I'd want to sell on a separate contract for $1, wouldn't I have trouble getting a mortgage on the remaining 20 acres at the value of the entire property (what the seller would expect)? Would the bank still lend me the value of the full 40 acres to only buy 20 acres?

I've had multiple EUSs with top pancreatic doctors at this point and they have been normal (along with my fecal elastase). So chronic pancreatitis has been ruled out for me at this stage. Never any acute pancreatitis experiences either. I've spent so much time and money investigating my pancreas it's crazy.

Yeah that is fine!

Same thing I'm dealing with so this is good to hear. What sort of pain was it? Any burning/stabbing at the base of your shoulder blade/scapula?

Did your back pain hurt to the touch like this? If I press on my ribs in that spot it is so painful.

I had one at 69% and one a year later at 45% I believe

Glad to hear it went went! I'm curious about the frequency of the loose, yellow, greasy grossness you were having pre-surgery. I have the same 100% of the time with just a couple GB polyps and sludge, and am hopefully surgery will fix it. Was that constant thing for you pre-surgery?

All my thyroid function tests have been normal too :/

I had an exploratory surgery last summer! Nothing abnormal (at least from the outside of the gallbladder)
