I think our house is shifting or something. My outside gate is hard to close now. I have to lift it in the air and now we're having crazy problems with our front door. Like, I can't even lock it from the outside anymore, because it's so hard to squeeze the door shut and lock it. You guys think our house was built on Tectonic plates?

Is your foundation cracking in any places? Are you on a slope of any kind?

Yes, we're on a pretty hilly environment. Haven't noticed the foundation cracking, but I guess I probably don't pay attention enough. I'll take a look at it tonight. Maybe take a pic of the door sitch.

Have you tried pouring boiling water down your shower drain?

Totally worked too!

It could be worse, Mrs Wacky thinks the door issue is because of the weather.

You know, it actually could be that.

Materials, especially wood, expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity.

Wacky I was just bustin' your chops a little with the boiling water suggestion

And yes the weather can have an effect on doorways inside and outside of your house. One of my gates is hard to open if it's been rainy.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #696 on:** August 03, 2018, 01:17:26 PM »

I know. Thanks for the tip.

A very cool thing that can happen in basements is water can get in them.

Mine flooded this week too, told the landlord to fix that crap
