As a former contractor and inspector I believe the structure can be raised and repaired. As Bigbro noted about houses, I have been involved with whole buildings being moved that were much heavier than this little structure. The engineering on this open structure is different and moving & repair will not be the same a house. The inspector and engineers might have the final word, but money will also. Tiki-Ray is right that to do it properly, it should be taken apart. Anything can be done......for a price.

I walked my friend through there on Friday and noticed the one support (front right) bowed, and what appeared to be dry-rot and or termite damage but did not get a picture. Preventative maintenance is always cheaper than replacement.

Tikiyaki did rock!
