Thank you for your feedback. I consider my client relationships very important, and put significant effort into establishing these relationships based on trust and respect.
After your home purchase closed, the engineering plan for your original scope (replace dry rotted floor joists) was drafted by a well-respected firm, and approved for that scope by the City of Toronto. As you are now well aware, prior homeowners at your residence had taken measures to hide the true legacy structural condition of your home. Once access was established for the original scope and the true as-found extent of condition was identified (no foundation), work was stopped. Your original floor framing was providing absolutely no structural value due to dry rot and termite damage. Your perimeter structure was left untouched in order to maintain the existing structural integrity until a path forward was developed. The engineering firm was re-engaged to provide remedial direction for retro fit of footings and foundation walls.
It is unfortunate that the cost for remediation of the discovery work based on estimates from established subcontractors in the area was well beyond your budget and available funds. As you stated on more than one occasion, you have more time than money, and the project was suspended until you could establish funding or find an alternate path forward.
I wish you all the best in your path forward.
