The front used to be a porch but was closed in long before I bought. But no foundation was laid for it. There has never been much of a load on it but it does seem to be rotting out.

To claify, is the "porch" (now part of the house) simply sitting on earth? Is that what's rotting? How much access is there to get jacks underneath?

A lot depends on how rotted it is... the worse it gets, the harder it will be to lift & rebuild.

There may not be a need to put it on a full foundation. Concrete piers with an I beam or laminated beam could do the trick.

Pics would be helpful
