You have my sympathies V-Cow.

I live in a house that was built in 1923, on a full seven foot block basement, and they never put footings under the block. It sets right on the sand.
It doesn't move if I don't do any digging. Problem is, I screwed up one corner of the house when I first moved in doing some digging in the basement looking for the foundation before I realized there was none.

Best advice I can give you is to go with the flow. The only time you need to level or plumb anything in an old house is if it is a structual problem, otherwise you will drive yourself nuts.
