Frost Heave? Wrong!!

Got an idea this morning to cut a diagonal line across the slab allowing the concrete to settle back in place. Nothing to lose i guess.
Frost heaving was minimal this year from the appearance. No cracks that are apparent so the insulation and reinforcing must have worked. March 18- I have come to the conclusion that this was not frost. It's the #### clay soil. It appears that it takes more than a year to settle disturbed clay. Might need to go. A save is possible it we can tip it back in place and pour some dead men on the low side. Next month?

Peter Rhoades is beginning to think that the concrete might have settled at a weird angle causing this anomoly since the frost is gone and the lift has stayed the same.
