All of the poles I have looked at are 1" seem pretty flimsy. I don't really want to get into a custom setup, but a bigger pole and adapting down would be nice. I live in Florida and we are prone to server weather out of the blue some times (45+65mph gusts).

I've seen some poles that have sockets / sleeves that go in ground, which would be more stable, at the risk of overkill.

I'm also on looking to install a camera. Some additional shepards hooks would be nice for a birdhouse or what not, and a baffle. I don't mind paying quality for a quality product. I purchased the Gtongoko Bird Feeder and the hooks did not give the 18" clearance that the Squirrel Buster requires. There was nothing in the product description on the website, amazon, or the comments that could verify that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am all new to this. I impulse bought a bird bath, then I got a solar fountain (a great one so far - battery), and have been moving forward ever since.

This was a "cheap" build., concrete block with monolitch slab.. I doubt it was excavated before pouring the slab. But I do believe fill dirt was added and compacted. I first noticed hairline settlement cracks at about the three year mark. They were very minor, however the ones near the exterior of the garage did appear slightly "staircasing," That side of the house is on a grade, picture in comments. The garage foundation has no signs of cracks. I park my car in there.

I had the house repainted about 6 months ago, and the exterior cracks have not reappeared. On in the interior of the house.

The cracks of concern are in the interior of the garage, on the exterior walls, although there are cracks where the ceilings meet all the way around. I have posted pictures of the worst of them. They are definitely much bigger than a quarter in some areas.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. The slab is warrantied for 10 years. But it requires a engineer's inspection, which I don't have a problem doing.
