house jacking?  wear a mask and go in at night. 

but seriously if you must ask then you shouldnt do  it.  I think I can, i think i can only works for trains.  however if you do your homework and get good help, please do take lots of pictures and post them here so we can all learn a thing or two :).

Might be an idea to hire a structural engineer to give you some advice as to the best methods to do this. I use them all the time at work, and find their services invaluable. May cost a couple of dollars...but investing the money may save you alot of headaches at best, or injuries / additional damages at worst.
