Making my room better

I wonder if all of these posts would be considered post padding since I could have condensed them into one giant post...would this one?

Since you are in California, it could be from several reasons:
1. During earthquakes, the ground can be described with having liquid properties. The difference in ground densities from one end of the house to the other could allow raising or sinking in parts of the house.
2. If your house is built on stilts on the side of a hill... Gravity always wins, need I say more.
3. If your house is wood frame with a basement, the sill plate or beam that your room is sitting on could have some decay.

None of these are anything to immediately worry about. It is just food for thought.

Im pretty sure it is just how the house was designed. I look out side and the cement goes at a slightly downward slop to get water to one side b4 the other to drain when it rains or sumthing. Its a stupid design BTW tho cuz the person who designed it has to areas agnle to the same spot so right outside my window will be the first part to flood wehn is rains :(
 
goddam! alot responses. good to have all my questions answered. andddddddddd when i get home im gonna ask if our house is built on a subfloor or if its just built on a concrete slab, im hoping for the latter :cry: if its on a slab imma go with plan #2 and i'll be sure to post some pics for further critique :thumbsup:

You can best answer the question...If you can walk or crawl under your room then you do not have a concrete slab. A concrete slab is poured on the ground after the foundation is laid. If you have a basement or crawl space under the house, or if your room is not on the ground floor, then your floor is constructed of wood products (including a subfloor).
