Thanks to hearing from Claudia and Dave regarding our house crashing yesterday, we have temporarily fixed the problem. Got a longer board, attached to the old fence rail, and were able to raise the house. Not quite as high as before but at least they are back home. I suppose we need to just let them deal with this house this year and get a new one next year. We put another one up a couple of years ago, but they like the old one. Do yall think we should leave it as is and hope for the best. Any advice is welcome. Thanks to all that "felt our pain".
