Did anyone request this bot to post to this community? Especially with question posts like this it is really pointless to cross-post from Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I agree. Its one thing to have cross-posted articles, but with questions like this, the OP is never going to see it so it feels like a complete waste of time.

Fighting the good SEO fight is worth doing.

If we have content presence to the search engine, we might actually attract new visitors.

I see it as a snowball effect, if not a seemingly nonsensical one from the outset.

We are not going to attract users if there is no good answers to such a post.

I was trying to articulate that there is value in providing answers to questions for an OP that might never see them.

In that scenario there is value for organic search arrivals.

Yes it is a bit of shouting into the void, but you have to start that content somewhere.

I've heard diagonal cracks like this are bad news, I wonder if that plate of steel was put there by the previous owner to hold it together, I'd measure and record how big they are and keep checking if they are getting bigger.

The first advise is get expert help.

Find a civil engineer or a structures engineer and ask them.

That crack does not look good. If I remember correctly cracks with more than 1mm gap should not be ignored.

If you don't want to follow any of the previous advise, carefully monitoring for movement on the crack on a medium to long timeframe is, IMHO, the most irresponsible you can be.

Yeah, this is the answer. Get an engineer’s input
