New Posts!

In this case, the new post is about the new posts! The concrete is cured. Vertical measurements were taken and a new 4×4 was cut to that length.

And inserted.

The jack posts re-appeared for a bit to take out the temporary posts. And a sigh of relief from the jacks as they lowered back to a resting point.

And repeat.

One left. On the left.

Oh, the floor is now within a 1/2-1/4 bubble on a four ft. level. Once the third post is in, I’m thinking a second raise and a 1″ shim should do it for the middle and or right (north) posts.

Today’s doings

Carol got the bathroom primered.

And all the doors sanded.

I mowed most of the .42xx acre

The post with multiple titles

Possible titles:

We’ve got compost!
Well, at least it’s solid at the bottom
Yea! We get to go shopping for flooring again

So, we knew the back porch /mud room / laundry room has issues. There is the odd tilt to the shingle siding that doesn’t quite look copacetic with the tilt of the windows. There is the fact that the door only opens a few inches. There’s the tilt to the floor that would be excessive on an open deck.

We could also wax on about the two boards covering up a hole (the old dryer vent or possibly for a very athletic cat). Or even the missing sheetrock.
