My old garage (24×28) is tilting. It’s about 3 in. out of plumb. There’s virtually no sheathing or bracing at all on the frame, and it’s a wonder the thing didn’t fall down long ago. I want to straighten it out, then replace the old clapboards with some T1-11. Any suggestions for the safest method to plumb the walls?
