Hi Karen - have you had someone check to see if you have foundation issues?
You have to be very careful with cracks you can't just fill them in. You need to find the cause. I have a friend who had the same problem, she had cracks down some walls and ceilings which changed depending on the season. During the dry months it would get large cracks and in the wet months the cracks would get smaller. So maybe you need to have your foundations checked.
If yu know the cause, some people use wallpaper. Not shiny kind, it will show them. Some have used fabric. Wallpaper and fabric should be patterned. One person put fabric up with starch, easy to take down.
Yes, get the foundation checked and the attic framing.,
Ive had 4 clients where previous owners opened up the floor plan and removed a bearing wall or a wall that held up one end of a beam in the attic. The whole house suffered!
