Screw Jack

They finally came and put it in. Moving in has suddenly become real.

The screw jack is under the post in the middle of the house. All the weight of the house rests on this post. As the logs shrink you want the house to move down so gaps don't develop between the logs. at intervals you screw down the jack gently lowering the post to the floor. The whole process can take as long as four years.

I'm sooo happy.
