Great guy that knows the perimeters of a great deal.

They put in 6x6 posts in the corners and headers back to the new wall on the perimeter, so everything is point loaded to the ground.

i rent rooms out in my house, and once had a tenant who brought bed bugs in. i live in a 2 story, 5 bedroom house with a basement, and i successfully got rid of them with diatomaceous earth, but it was messy and time consuming. this is what we did:1. got rid of some furniture that was infested(make sure to rip or spray paint so no one grabs infested items off the curb. 2. dusted the perimeter of each room with diatomaceous earth. so the bugs couldn't travel to different rooms(2 of the bedrooms had no signs of bugs). they can also get in the walls, so we removed all switch and outlet covers and puffed the dust into the walls, then we got some foam outlet/switch inserts(which also help with insulation) , covered those in diatomaceous earth, and installed them under all the switch/outlet covers. 3. beginning with the "safe" rooms that didn't have signs of bugs, we washed all bedding, clothes, curtains, etc.

Is there any risk that over time the entire floor with shift in one direction (towards one wall) if a 5/8 gap (to walls base plate) is left for most of the perimeter?
