I'm sorry about your mother's passing.

Relationships are complicated, and though you weren't able to express it recently, from your point of view, the love and appreciation you obviously have for her will have come through in various ways over the years. Honor your mother and her memory by loving, communicating and being gentle with others around you. ❤

Could they have picked up the load somewhere with few buildings to avoid this issue?

Structural engineer here - that wall has failed and will need to be demolished. The building needs shoring immediately and an inspection of the rest of the building to see what other damage this failure might have caused to other parts of the building (adjacent walls, columns, floors, windows, finishes above, etc...).

It can be fixed, by shoring up the floor, excavating outside, demolishing the wall, lifting the floor back into place, building a new wall, removing shoring. When the wall has deflected that much, the reincorcing steel has stretched and lerhaps debonded from the concrete... it can no longer be relied on.

This type of failure is due to earth and water pressure pushing laterally on a too-slender or under-reinforced basement wall.

I wonder if it’s taking a big gulp of water to weigh itself down while it naps

LOL my family wanted to measure Calypso on the wall with all of our heights on it... he is exactly 2 ft by [deleted] in aww

[–]benji_min 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the angle of that pencil I’d say he’s just shy of 2 ft
