Hello

I have a cold garage where the wall on one side is loose, it's not properly attached to the foundation (lecablock) and is skewed against the house wall (brick). Not sure why it's like this (it was like this when we bought the house), but I guess it has sunk in connection with drainage.

The studs supporting the construction have the roof beams (flat roof) on them, so in order to fix the studs in the wall, the beams need to be relieved. How do you do this? I assume you need to relieve the beams with some sort of device?

It's the green wall that is skewed/loose. There are two beams resting on that part of the wall.

Diagram showing a house (labelled "Hus") connected to a garage (labelled "G"). The green area indicates the loose wall section.
 
I think I need to support the roof beams (running from end to end) in the garage so I can rebuild the studs and then let the roof beams down onto them.

When I google, I find Acrow props, can such be used to hold up the roof beams? The roof beams rest on the outer walls, so there's nothing supporting them in the middle. If so, do you use multiple props per beam or just at the edge?

Or is there something else to lift with?
 
Beams at the highest point of the roof

Wooden beams at the ceiling's peak connecting to a slightly slanted wall with exposed brick on the side.

Beam no. 2

Wooden ceiling beams with a visible skewed wall section. Slight light distortion is noted, highlighting alignment issues.

Example of a slanted wall. I believe it has sunk when drained, which has caused the wall to become slanted. The stud at the bottom is poorly attached to the Lecablocks and the wall is slightly slanted. The photo is a bit misleading, it is more the stud that is slanted than the Lecablocks).

Uneven floor with visible slanted beam and poorly fixed base on Lecablocks; possible subsidence issue shown in the photo.
 
A better picture is probably needed to see the whole instead. Is it a floor seen in the last picture and what is it on the right?

There is Leca around and a concrete floor inside, from 1968. The wall isn't properly attached to the Leca and is also a bit crooked.

As I see it, I can press the stud into the bottom and screw it tight and try to get it straight with pressure from the ceiling beams. But I guess it might be difficult to get it right and maybe the ceiling beams should be supported, and a new wall should be built.

Brown shed with red door, surrounded by paving stones and gravel. Brick wall visible in the background. Possible renovation or structural work context. Crooked wall on concrete floor from 1968 with visible wooden beam alignment issue, green-striped sneakers, blue bucket, glove, gravel, and paving stones. Wooden frame next to an open door in a brick wall; the wall is not properly secured, related to a building discussion on wall stability.
